Wells Creek Ranch is 125.2 acres of mixed hardwood forest, rolling terrain, and living water in the heart of Leelanau County. Wells Creek traverses the property north to south, connecting to Wells Lake on the adjacent parcel — providing year-round water, strong wildlife habitat, and a natural feature rarely found at this price point. The property sits adjacent to the 45,000+ acre Traverse City Forest Management parcel along Beeman Road, ensuring the wild, undeveloped character of the surrounding landscape is permanent. All splits available. Electric access from South Gilbert Lake Road. Located just south of M-72 and South Gilbert Lake Road — minutes from Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Leelanau wine country, and the resort communities of Glen Arbor and Empire. On a very special not for the outdoor enthusiast, 00 W. Beeman Road sits at the very western doorstep of one of Michigan's most celebrated long-distance trail experiences. The Shore-to-Shore Trail stretches across the state, beginning near Empire on Lake Michigan and ending at Au Sable on Lake Huron — passing through forests, beneath I-75 north of Grayling, and following the historic Au Sable River. The full system spans 420 miles, open to both hikers and horseback riders, with additional northern and southern spur trails extending the network further.
