0 N Cathead Bay Dr, Northport, MI 49670

Set within a largely preserved stretch of Leelanau County, this 37-acre property functions differently than most land offerings in the area. Surrounded by State land and positioned near trails maintained by the Leelanau Conservancy, the setting is defined more by what cannot be developed than what can. That distinction matters. It creates a level of long-term privacy and consistency that is increasingly difficult to find. The land itself offers a combination of usable acreage and natural features, with space to establish a residence, recreational use, or long-term hold. Access to Grand Traverse Bay is nearby via the end of N Cathead Bay Drive, adding a water component without the exposure or turnover that comes with direct frontage. Properties in this type of configuration are uncommon. Large acreage, bordered by protected land, with proximity to both trails and public water access, rarely align at the same time. This is a fit for buyers who value control over their surroundings, not just ownership of the parcel itself. Ownership note: The current owner has held the property since 2007. Public sale history data from third-party platforms may not accurately reflect that timeline.
