Overview

Description

Once in a lifetime opportunity to own this gorgeous 30 acre property on Lake Michigan with your own private 450 feet of frontage on the lake located just south of Pentwater and north of the Silver Lake Sand Dunes with low bluff, sandy beach and great sunset views. The property is in a land conservancy. The land conservancy offers great lower capped property taxes and the conservation easement limits the size of construction. Privacy is the greatest luxury. Creek runs through property. Hurry as this won't last long. Only 20 stairs or so to the beach. Truestream fiber internet is now at the property but not yet connected. Currently there is a 2-story historic cottage that sits back from the bluff a ways with a detached garage. Great well water. New septic system. There are mutual easements for the shared driveway.

Supplements: Seller plans to keep he northern red cottage that is also in conservancy.
