Conservation minded purchasers take note. The Leelanau Conservancy has acquired this special property to further preserve the ridge line surrounding Big Glen Lake from development with the idea a conservation easement that defines a lower, two acre building/improvement area would be a requirement for the new owner. For those looking for the ultimate in seclusion this square 40 acre parcel is contiguous with the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore's property, is about the midway point on scenic and winding Echo Valley Road, and is located on the seasonally maintained portion of Echo Valley Road (so winter access could be a pioneers adventure!) The Conservancy is willing to work with a prospective purchaser with the final details of the easement agreement and to some degree location, but won't allow a building site to be along the upper ridge line. This could be a great property for those looking to establish a seasonal cottage in the woods or a hunting camp that is next to National Park property. Very diverse forest with mature hardwoods, hemlock, springs, and a high plateau, almost park like that has filtered views of Big Glen with leaves on the trees and "wow" views the six months of the year when they're off. Just to the north of this parcel on Park property is an amazing "kettle drumlin", a spectacular crater left from the thousands of years ago when the glaciers sculpted the land!
