1951060 MLS ⋅ Timber View Ridge BLDG.

A one-of-a-kind opportunity in the heart of Leelanau County — the only truly build-ready log home site on the market. Tucked into 1.20 wooded acres in the Timber View Ridge community outside Empire, this parcel arrives with the hard work done: a prepared 28' x 52' slab-ready foundation site, septic tank installed under an active health-department permit, well installation underway, and a 150-foot drive already in. The vision is ready too — full architectural plans for a 1,980 sq. ft. Beaver Log Homes design convey with the sale, along with on-site building materials — and the complete log package is available with an acceptable offer. Better still, this community was planned for exactly this home: the covenants call for natural-wood exteriors with logs expressly preferred. Building, zoning, and health-department permits are paid and executed. Where most vacant land hands you a two-year project, this one hands you a running start: many months of site work, engineering, and supply decisions already behind you, with the savings in both time and cost that come with it. Even the builder question is answered — the seller is a licensed builder and may be available to complete the home under separate arrangement. And you can enjoy the property now: association documents allow camping while you plan (up to 8 weeks per year) and Short term rentals of one week or more, with community open space for hiking, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiles. All of it sits minutes from the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, the village of Empire, Glen Lake schools, and the beaches, trails, and wineries that make this corner of Michigan a destination. Picture the finished cabin in the trees at the end of your own drive — then come see how much of the picture is already real.

1951058 MLS ⋅ Brightland Woods BLDG.

If you’ve been looking for a little more space, privacy, and a place to build something of your own in Leelanau County, this wooded acreage gives you a great place to start. Set within Brightland Woods between Maple City and Cedar, the property features a cleared building site along an elevated ridge with views to the east. The rolling terrain and natural slope could work well for a variety of home styles, particularly a walkout lower level. Mature hardwoods surround much of the property, creating that classic wooded Up North setting while still giving you the flexibility to selectively clear additional trees to bring in more sunlight. A driveway is already installed and the building area has been cleared, taking care of some of the early work as you begin planning for the property. Electricity and high-speed internet are available at the road. And there’s space to think beyond the house. Kasson Township allows a pole barn to be built before the home, giving you the option to create space for a boat, camper, workshop, equipment, or all the extra gear that comes with enjoying Northern Michigan. Plant a garden, create trails through the woods, or simply leave more of the property natural and enjoy having your own space to explore. Along the south side, the property borders more than 1,000 acres of State Land, extending that sense of space well beyond your own property. And if five acres isn’t enough for what you have in mind, the neighboring 5.01 acre parcel is also available. You’ll feel tucked into the woods when you’re home, yet you’re still within easy reach of everything Leelanau and Benzie Counties have to offer, from beaches, trails, and lakes to golf, small towns, and plenty of ways to enjoy the Up North. Traverse City is just 15 minutes away. Build the home, add the pole barn, utilize the land, and create a place that fits the way you want to live. This might just be the spot to discover what comes next.
