Come and see for yourself the beauty in this 20 acre parcel located in southeast Empire Township. It's long and level, 334'x2650, with a nice mix of hardwoods, some pines, and a couple of open areas to contemplate building the perfect up north get away. Nice location on quiet Beeman Road, just 5 miles to Empire Village and Lake Michigan, and less than 20 miles to Traverse City using M-72 if you have a need to commute. Great for the family that's looking to enjoy all the recreational possibilities that Leelanau County has to offer. 24'X48' pole barn with steel roof and siding, concrete floor, and power, use to store the summer toys/boats, two 9' high and 10' wide doors. Existing well and septic system in place, condition unknown but was working, has serviced a mobile home that is still on the property, and is of insignificant value but could be of some use to camp out or stay in while building (but will need some updating), if so desired.
