Dreaming of a peaceful direct waterfront setting to build your vacation retreat or forever home on Old Mission Peninsula? This hard-to-find estate-sized parcel offers 1.97 acres with 159 feet of sandy shoreline on West Grand Traverse Bay, featuring spectacular western-facing sunset views across West Bay. The level, untouched property is surrounded by mature towering trees and accessed by a private dead-end road, offering exceptional privacy. Best of all, there’s no bluff here, the land slopes gradually to the water’s edge, providing easy access to the waterfront and the opportunity to install your own private dock and boat hoist. A recently completed soil evaluation (perc test) confirms the property is suitable for a traditional on-site septic system. Vacant building sites like this on West Grand Traverse Bay are becoming increasingly difficult to find, don’t miss this opportunity to create something truly special on Old Mission Peninsula!
