Rare 0.26-acre (11,325 SF) development parcel in New Buffalo -- a historic Lake Michigan beach town and key destination in the Harbor Country region, just 90 minutes from downtown Chicago. New Buffalo is celebrated for its waterfront beaches, recreational harbor, local dining and entertainment, boutique shopping, and year-round cultural offerings.
Although the city's year-round population is small, the local economy is primarily tourism-driven, benefiting from its proximity to Chicago and Lake Michigan's shoreline. Michigan as a whole welcomed over 130 million visitors in 2024, spending more than $30 billion across the state -- with coastal and harbor communities like New Buffalo among the most frequently visited regional destinations. This site offers strong potential for vertical development and is well suited for boutique hospitality, mixed use, destination retail, restaurant, or other visitor-oriented concepts, subject to municipal approvals. Well-located buildable parcels in supply-constrained New Buffalo remain limited, creating a compelling opportunity for developers and investors seeking exposure to a premier Lake Michigan resort market
