Some parcels give you a place to build. This one gives you a view worth building around. Perched above the surrounding countryside in Empire's peaceful Timber View Ridge community, this remarkable 1.02-acre homesite captures the natural beauty that makes Leelanau County unforgettable. From its elevated setting, the landscape unfolds toward Big Glen Lake, Sleeping Bear Bay, the Manitou Islands, and the western horizon. Wildlife, star-filled skies, and unforgettable sunsets create a setting that feels private, expansive, and distinctly Up North. Located on a cul-de-sac on a paved private road, the parcel offers a combination of open space, mature trees, and varied topography for an inspired home design. An electrical panel is already in place, bringing the vision one step closer to reality. Community building guidelines include a minimum 1,500-square-foot footprint, providing ample opportunity to create a home thoughtfully designed around the views. Timber View Ridge is a quiet, well-planned community with shared natural areas and meandering trails for hiking, cross-country skiing, and simply enjoying the surrounding landscape. Annual association dues are approximately $300 and cover private-road maintenance and snow removal. The property is located in the Glen Lake Community School District and within convenient reach of the Village of Empire, Glen Arbor, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Lake Michigan beaches, scenic trails, and the many destinations that make Leelanau County so special. For buyers ready to move from land to home, Immersive Homes offers build-to-suit opportunities, combining thoughtful site planning, advanced pre-visualization, and customized design to create a residence tailored to the property, the views, and the way you want to live. Now offered at $169,000, this is an exceptional opportunity to secure a distinctive homesite in one of Northern Michigan's most celebrated settings. One acre. Expansive views. An Up North story waiting to be built. Walk the property, take in the landscape, and imagine what comes next. All measurements, association information, building requirements, views, utilities, and property details are deemed reliable but are not guaranteed. Buyer and buyer's agent to verify all information.
