For generations, the Ocanas family has cultivated this iconic 68+ acre fruit farm on Old Mission Peninsula- a rare legacy property with uninterrupted rows of apples and cherries and deep agricultural roots in the community. Located just north of Traverse City, 3089 Swaney Road offers a unique opportunity to continue the stewardship of some of Northern Michigan’s most productive and picturesque farmland. This property is protected by a conservation easement held by Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy, which permanently limits it for agricultural use. That means the land cannot be subdivided or developed for residential or commercial purposes, ensuring it remains farmland forever. For growers, conservation-minded investors, or those seeking a long-term agricultural asset, the conservation easement provides lasting stability and clarity of purpose. The property includes well-maintained orchards, gently sloped terrain with excellent air drainage, and multiple outbuildings for storage and farm operations. Whether you're expanding an existing business or starting a new chapter in a region known for its winemaking, AgriTourism, and farm-to-table culture, this is a place where long-term vision takes root. This is an exciting opportunity to own a protected, working farm on the Peninsula- rich with history, potential, and natural beauty.
