A one-of-a-kind opportunity in the heart of Leelanau County — the only truly build-ready log home site on the market. Tucked into 1.20 wooded acres in the Timber View Ridge community outside Empire, this parcel arrives with the hard work done: a prepared 28' x 52' slab-ready foundation site, septic tank installed under an active health-department permit, well installation underway, and a 150-foot drive already in. The vision is ready too — full architectural plans for a 1,980 sq. ft. Beaver Log Homes design convey with the sale, along with on-site building materials — and the complete log package is available with an acceptable offer. Better still, this community was planned for exactly this home: the covenants call for natural-wood exteriors with logs expressly preferred. Building, zoning, and health-department permits are paid and executed. Where most vacant land hands you a two-year project, this one hands you a running start: many months of site work, engineering, and supply decisions already behind you, with the savings in both time and cost that come with it. Even the builder question is answered — the seller is a licensed builder and may be available to complete the home under separate arrangement. And you can enjoy the property now: association documents allow camping while you plan (up to 8 weeks per year) and Short term rentals of one week or more, with community open space for hiking, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiles. All of it sits minutes from the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, the village of Empire, Glen Lake schools, and the beaches, trails, and wineries that make this corner of Michigan a destination. Picture the finished cabin in the trees at the end of your own drive — then come see how much of the picture is already real.

1949351 MLS ⋅ Na BLDG.

A one-of-a-kind, estate-sized Leelanau County parcel. This private, elevated 120 acres includes a spectacular panoramic view of the Empire Valley and is only a 5-minute drive to the Village of Empire amenities, a sandy public beach on Lake Michigan, the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail and National Lakeshore recreation. The property is improved, with two active wells, electric service, a cement-block barn and a fence encompassing 100 acres. Rising hundreds of feet above the valley, a 2,500-foot-long, west-facing ridge currently offers stunning sunsets and distant views of Lake Michigan and Sleeping Bear Dunes from two locations. Select tree thinning of the 20-acre woodland on the slope could provide potential views from the entire ridge. Flat land in the middle of the property presently contains 60 acres of active cherry trees. Their removal would provide a new owner with a number of use options. Rolling hills with 100-plus-year-old white pines and other trees are found on the property’s east side, bordered by a paved county road. Tall, mature spruce trees line a portion of the property near the road, and red pines are found along most of the property lines, offering privacy. Last year 400 new evergreens were planted, and some of the parcel adjoins National Lakeshore property. The acreage has access to cable internet along the road. It is a short drive to golfing, to the Glen lakes for swimming, boating and fishing, and to Glen Arbor for eclectic shopping and dining, tennis, and kayaking on the Crystal River. Located in the Glen Lake School District, the property offers an easy commute to Traverse City via M-72 for big city fun such as movies, concerts, upscale dining, festivals and more.
