Property Watch: Secluded On Shetland Creek

Who doesn’t love waterfront? We all do, of course, and here in Leelanau County you’re never far from a shoreline of one sort or another. And on this nearly 2½-acre lot (E. Shetland Trail, Lot 2, Cedar; $98,000) you’re just steps away from the quietly beautiful Shetland Creek. The mix of hardwoods greets you on the end of a private road, with a great building site where septic is already approved and electricity makes it ready to go. The brook connects Lime Lake to Little Traverse Lake, both of which are within hailing distance. It’s wild and wooded, charming and peaceful, yet despite the quietude it’s only minutes to Maple City and Cedar, Leland and Lake Leelanau, Lake Michigan and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The pristine waters of the creek are not completely navigable, which means you’ll never be bothered by rowdy canoers. Just the birds, wildlife and you.
