N Manitou Trail

Less than 4 miles from downtown Leland, this peaceful 6-acre parcel is a dynamic landscape of forested dune. Accessed by a shared driveway through a deeded easement, this property has the feel of a remote destination and is away from highway sights and sounds. A natural, flat build-site is located near the southern portion of the property and is protected from the adjacent neighbor by a tall, wooded ridge. Mid-parcel, the topography rises again – this time, to peak elevation – where tiny glimpses of north Lake Leelanau can be seen in the winter months and through the treetops beyond. Surrounding parcels to the north and east are under a private conservation easement with the Leelanau Conservancy, restricting adjacent land development. Deer, bear, wild cats, and other native species have been spotted wandering through this vibrant landscape. This parcel will surprise you with its beauty and its enormous potential for a hidden up-north retreat or permanent residence. 2018 Health Department perc test shows suitable soil for on-site sewage disposal - natural gas and electricity are nearby - parcel is located in an area of critical dune, as determined by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE).
