Breathtaking sunsets, views of the great lakes freighters, the Fox Islands, and the Manitous await the new owner of this beautiful Lake Michigan homesite. Lovely Beech, Maple, and Birch trees surround a mostly cleared building site. The sandy dunes are on a very slight bluff leading down to the beach and coastal marsh along the water's edge. Over thirty years ago 130 acres were set aside and are preserved forever through the Sand Dunes Protection Act and the State of Michigan, which allow you to explore the dunes and forest surrounding Lighthouse Cove. Eagles, hawks, red winged blackbirds, killdeer, piping plovers and many varieties of birds are in constant flight in and around the area. Cathead Point is a critical stopover providing habitat for birds beginning their migratory journeys. Lighthouse Cove is an area of some cottage style and other custom year around homes. The quiet and privacy is unequaled, yet it is just a short drive to all the amenities of the village of Northport. The light house is really only walk up the beach and there is also conservancy land and hiking trails adjacent to the Cove. The road is maintained in the winter for the residents who stay year around for a very minimal fee. The dynamics of the Lake Michigan shoreline are very interesting, changing with the seasons, water levels, and wind creating such an interesting place to call home!
