005 Kettle Way Unit 5 Empire, MI 49630

If you're in search of the perfect building site on the western side of Leelanau County, near Empire, Glen Arbor, Glen Lake, and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, this could be "the one"! Located on the quiet rural byway Echo Valley Road, this unique offering, parcel 5, is one of 8 estate sized parcels in "Kettle Woods". Aptly named after several "kettles" that are on the adjacent Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore property. "Kettle holes" formed during the glacial ice age, when large blocks of ice broke off glaciers with extreme downward pressure. When they eventually melted, large depressions were left in the earth, creating either dry recesses, or even kettle lakes, both common to the area. There are four such formations within an easy walking distance of this heavily wooded, 5.65 acre parcel, on the National Lakeshore property. The Kettle Woods neighborhood has end of the road privacy, as Echo Valley turns into a seasonal road beyond the entrance to Kettle Woods. It's the ideal location for your Up North getaway, or permanent residence, with ultimate privacy in this one of a kind setting. Great potential for a south facing walkout, or lookout, lower level design, you'll enjoy beautiful fall colors, and when the leaves are off the trees, you'll be able to see the rolling hill sides on either side of this special valley. Features include underground electric, minimal common sense building and use restrictions, great road access, and cable will be available when the first home commences construction and puts in a request for service. Echo Valley/Kettle Woods is truly a magical location. This is your limited opportunity to make your own magic, in Leelanau County!
