Harbor View Nursery & Lavender Farm represents one of the most distinctive commercial agricultural opportunities in the Midwest! A fully operational, multi-revenue agritourism destination with 25 years of brand equity, an established customer base, and irreplaceable positioning on one of Northern Michigan's most sought-after land corridors. The Asset Situated on 46.52 acres along Center Road on the Old Mission Peninsula, Harbor View occupies a location that is as strategically valuable as it is visually stunning. The Peninsula shares the 45th parallel with Provence, France, the world capital of lavender, offering ideal growing conditions that cannot be manufactured or moved. Eight distinct lavender varieties span the property's rolling fields, forming the agricultural backbone of an operation that has compounded in brand value over two decades. Revenue Streams The business generates diversified income across multiple channels, reducing single-source dependency and providing a new owner with immediate cash flow from day one. The on-site farm store retails 50+ proprietary lavender-based products, including essential oils, culinary blends, and handcrafted goods, to a loyal and growing customer base. A productive cherry orchard contributes seasonal agricultural income, and an established mulch operation adds another revenue layer independent of lavender's harvest cycle. The Residence A 4-bedroom farmhouse with original wood floors anchors the property, offering an owner-operator the rare ability to live where they work or to evaluate the structure's potential for expanded hospitality use, subject to applicable township approvals. The Intangible Value 25 years of operating history have produced something no capital expenditure can buy outright: a recognized brand, a repeat visitor base, and destination status within Northern Michigan's agritourism economy. Comparable operations of this scale, tenure, and location simply do not exist.

HARBOR VIEW NURSERY & LAVENDER FARM -17770 CENTER ROAD, OLD MISSION PENINSULA Once in a generation, a property comes to market that is so deeply rooted in a place, so woven into the fabric of a community, that it transcends the idea of real estate entirely. Harbor View Nursery & Lavender Farm is that property. Perched on the Old Mission Peninsula, there are only a few sharing the 45th parallel with Provence, France, the world capital of lavender. This 25-year-old lavender destination spans 46.52 acres of rolling fields, planted with 8 distinct lavender varieties. From the moment you turn onto Center Road and the purple rows come into view, you understand: this is not just a farm. This is a lifestyle. The 4-bedroom farmhouse anchors the property with warmth and character. Original wood floors bear witness to decades of quiet mornings and summer harvests. The home has undeniable charm, a ready-made retreat that lets its next steward step into something already blooming. The farm's commercial footprint is equally compelling. An on-site farm store carries 50+ proprietary lavender-based products, including essential oils, culinary blends, and handcrafted goods that have earned a loyal following across the Midwest and beyond. A productive cherry orchard and an established mulch operation round out the income streams, giving a new owner diversified revenue from day one. What this legacy has built over decades, brand recognition, a repeat visitor base, and the agritourism draw on one of Michigan's most celebrated peninsulas, cannot be replicated quickly or easily. It can only be inherited, stewarded, and grown. Whether you are an entrepreneur seeking a turnkey lifestyle business, an investor recognizing the value of Old Mission Peninsula acreage, or a dreamer ready to trade an unfulfilling career for rows of purple on a summer morning, your HERE is waiting. Properties like this don't come to market, except once in a lifetime.
