Property Description
Some views are worth holding onto, and this is an opportunity to do just that! Imagine building your dream home with Lake Michigan on the western horizon, the rolling countryside stretching out before you, and sunsets that never seem to get old. Located in the desirable Empire Hills community, this offering brings together three parcels with a unique advantage for the next owner. Two adjoining parcels offer a beautiful setting to bring your building plans to life. With varied terrain and western exposure, there's potential for a walkout lower level, expansive windows, and outdoor living spaces designed to make the scenery part of everyday life. But what makes this offering especially interesting is the third parcel across the road. Originally purchased for view control, this piece of land secures influence over the landscape in front of their future home. Keep it to preserve your views, consider it as a long-term investment, or explore the possibility of selling it separately down the road while continuing to enjoy the home you've created. And while the views may be what first catch your attention, the location gives you plenty of reasons to stay. The quaint Village of Empire and the shores of Lake Michigan are just minutes away, where an afternoon at the beach can easily turn into dinner from a local restaurant and a sunset along the water. Explore the trails of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, bike the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail, or head out for a round of golf at Dune Valley Golf Course. Nearby Glen Arbor, Benzonia, and Frankfort offer even more to discover, and the conveniences of Traverse City are just over 30 minutes away. It's not every day you find an opportunity to create a home with Lake Michigan on the horizon. Here, it's about more than choosing where to build. It's about making the most of the setting, the scenery, and the options that come with owning a little more of Leelanau County.
