    What's special

    Cleared building areaExisting driveway
    A rare opportunity to own approximately 3 acres of beautifully wooded property with mature trees and established forest located just half a mile off US-131, south of Elmira. Ideally positioned in Northern Michigan, this property is central to Boyne Mountain (14 minutes), Gaylord/M-75 (20 minutes), and Boyne City/Lake Charlevoix (22 minutes). Much of the groundwork for a future home has already been completed, making this an attractive option for a buyer seeking a private Northern Michigan building site without having to start completely from scratch. The property features a cleared building area, an existing driveway, a well, and a septic system. Another significant advantage of the property is its location in an area with no local zoning, providing greater flexibility for future use and construction. Build your private residence or place a modular home on the property, with ample space for a large outbuilding or garage. A deep, natural buffer of mature trees ensures exceptional privacy. If you are not ready to build, the property also offers an opportunity to enjoy the land as your own private Northern Michigan getaway. Bring a camper or RV and enjoy the land for recreational and seasonal use, such as private camping, bonfires, and wildlife watching, while taking full advantage of the region’s attractions and the nearby snowmobile and ORV trail networks. The property is being sold subject to a Forest Preservation Agreement designed to preserve its wooded character and long-term health.
