Discover one of Leelanau County’s most spectacular development opportunities — nearly 150 acres of rolling countryside with panoramic water views in every direction. Just under a mile from Grand Traverse Bay and downtown Suttons Bay, and less than 30 minutes from Traverse City, this rare property offers the perfect balance of serenity and accessibility. From its highest elevations, take in sweeping vistas of Lake Michigan, Lake Leelanau, the Manitou Islands, Pyramid Point, and Grand Traverse Bay—a truly breathtaking canvas for a visionary developer, investor, or estate builder. The property includes two early-1900s barns, plus additional farm buildings and the original farmhouse that can be retained, restored, or separated as desired. Unlimited potential awaits—envision water-view estates, a luxury RV resort, boutique winery, equestrian retreat, or an exclusive private compound. A marketing packet with zoning details and conceptual development plans is available upon request. The Village of Suttons Bay touches the property’s southeast corner, opening the possibility of additional utility connections. The owners will consider dividing the property into three parcels. A conceptual site plan is attached in documents.
