One of a kind Lake Michigan West Bay waterfront on Lee Point Road. You will marvel at the beautifully manicured 3 acre parcel, level with open areas plus gorgeous hardwoods and pines that offer privacy while leaving the expansive water views protected. Across the quiet road less traveled awaits 150’ of pristine shoreline. Photos in the slide show include elevated boulder sea wall and sandy beach from year’s past. History suggests a future where low bay levels once again expose sugar sand. Main view is rare southern exposure with sunrise, sunset and full view of Traverse City night lights. Not quite ready to build your dream home but want a place to spend summer months? The property has been used recreationally with multiple motorhome/camp sites in the back of the parcel already in place, even includes a Porta-John. You cannot go wrong if you have been searching for a quiet waterfront parcel with close proximity to Traverse City 9 miles and Suttons Bay 3 1/2 miles. A great locale for walking, bike riding, etc. Drive may not be plowed so please be prepared to hike in!
