An exceptional opportunity to own a rare double lot on coveted Old Mission Peninsula, featuring over 202 feet of pristine, sandy frontage on East Grand Traverse Bay. Properties with this combination of expansive shoreline, privacy, and location are increasingly hard to find, making this an ideal investment for those looking to create a truly one-of-a-kind waterfront estate. Situated along a quieter, more private stretch of prestigious Bluff Road, the property consists of two separate lots that can be combined into one expansive estate-sized parcel, offering exceptional flexibility for future plans. Whether envisioning a private waterfront compound or a singular custom residence, the size and layout provide a unique opportunity to maximize both space and views. The property offers breathtaking sunrise and moonrise views across crystal-clear waters, with ample room to design and build around the natural beauty of the setting. The existing 4,400+ sq ft home, offering 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, is positioned to take advantage of the waterfront location and may serve as a starting point for renovation or redevelopment. Enjoy direct access to the bay for boating, swimming, and paddle sports from your private stretch of beach. Located just a short drive from Traverse City and surrounded by renowned wineries, scenic parks, and local farm markets, this is a rare chance to secure a premier piece of waterfront on Old Mission Peninsula.
