About This Lot

Introducing one of Leelanau County's most extraordinary legacy properties—72 acres of rolling, high-elevation countryside offering commanding panoramic views in nearly every direction. Perched along one of the highest ridge lines in the county, this remarkable parcel presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a private luxury estate in one of Northern Michigan's most sought-after locations. Approximately two-thirds of the property enjoys water views, creating an ever-changing landscape of sunrises, sunsets, and spectacular seasonal color. To the east, the elevated terrain captures sweeping vistas of Grand Traverse Bay, Suttons Bay, and Old Mission Peninsula. To the west, enjoy breathtaking sunset views stretching across Lake Leelanau, Lake Michigan, the Manitou Islands, and Pyramid Point within Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Just one mile from the charming village of Suttons Bay and less than 30 minutes from Traverse City, the property offers the perfect balance of convenience and seclusion. Imagine designing a custom residence positioned atop the ridge, where walls of glass frame both sunrise and sunset views and 72 acres become your private playground for hiking, horseback riding, vineyards, gardens, or simply enjoying the serenity of Northern Michigan. While the property is ideally suited for an extraordinary estate or family compound, its size and configuration also provide future development potential for buyers seeking additional possibilities. The sellers are open to adjusting lot lines to accommodate a buyer's vision, and the adjoining 149-acre farm is also available for those seeking an even larger legacy property. Properties offering this combination of elevation, privacy, accessibility, acreage, and unparalleled views are exceptionally rare. This is more than vacant land—it's an opportunity to create one of Leelanau County's truly iconic estates.
