Ten acres of Leelanau County paradise - this is the easy northern Michigan dream. Tucked away on a secluded private road, in Leland School District, and near the heart of the National Lakeshore, this wooded oasis is home to giant hemlock, mature cedar, and towering hardwoods – truly a sight to behold. Mostly level, this forested parcel has been carefully managed. Dense natural woods fill the southern portion of the property and transition into a thoughtful clearing to the north. Here, Shetland Creek meanders through – gently making its way across the property, from west to east. This parcel enjoys frontage on both sides of the creek, limiting development and ensuring total control of the view across the waterway. Flowing out of the north end of Lime Lake and into the southeasterly side of Little Traverse Lake, Shetland Creek has a sandy bottom, crystal clear water, and is host to abundant wildlife including deer, bear, bald eagles, and more – a nature-lover’s dream. As if the land and water weren’t enough, this offering includes an ~1100 sf pole building, with a functional 2-bay garage and an absolutely charming “seasonal cabin” with a wrap-around covered porch, eat-in kitchen, ¾ bathroom, and dedicated sleeping area. Rustic by design, this simple space is all you need to escape the day-to-day. Easy finishes, modern appliances, two wood stoves, underground electricity, plus a well and septic field, bring the comforts of home to the woods. And although this cabin may be all you ever need, let this be the start to your Leelanau adventure while you dream up your future plans for this amazing northern Michigan acreage.
