Sunset from the top of the bluff
Lake Michigan sunsets, sandy beach with glacial boulders, gulls squawking, and the shadow of a hawk’s wing breaking the sunlight can be experienced with this beautiful 100′ lot near the tip of Leelanau’s peninsula! Sitting atop a fifteen foot bluff, ready for your rustic retreat, this lot provides commanding views of Lake Michigan from Cathead Bay to North Fox Island, and beyond. If you have an interest in acquiring this beautiful lot, contact me at wacorbett@gmail.com

This lot is only a half-mile from Leelanau Conservancy’s Lighthouse West Trail, a great spot for birdwatching. One local birder logged 120 species on that parcel!
Our lot is located on the private N. Cathead Bay Road, which ends in a turnaround a mile south. Homeowner association members can park in the turnaround (some have electric golf carts) and walk nearly a mile of gorgeous sugar sand state shoreline, part of the 1600 acre Leelanau State Park. In summer and early fall, you can swim in crystal clear water.

Our lot is partially “wetland.” We have an active and transferrable permit from the MDEQ and constructed a driveway and cleared trees for the building site. The only drawback to this rustic setting is that holding tanks are required for sewage. Otherwise, it is an ideal spot for a secluded vacation retreat.
If you can be a good steward of this property, and have the resources to acquire it, let’s talk! Call Bill at 231-342-7600.

Bill Corbett enjoys spending time with his wife and adult children, writing, photography, and watching sunsets. He graduated from U of Michigan in 1969, and was molded, as many of that era were, to view the world a certain, radical way. In 1976 he saw the light and voted for Gerald Ford, angry at the way the left portrayed that good, decent, and underrated President. Though his political views are now conservative, he makes an honest attempt to examine all side of issues and hopes the citizenry will do that as well. He disdains the politics of discrediting messengers rather than the message.
