Lakeshore Dr, Gladwin, MI 48624

Discover the perfect blend of privacy, nature, and waterfront living with this beautiful 4.5-acre parcel on Smallwood Lake. This predominantly level property offers an ideal setting for your dream home or getaway retreat, with a gentle slope toward the water and a natural ravine near the north end adding character and visual interest to the landscape. The lot is wooded with a diverse mix of mature and younger growth trees — oak, maple, pine, and other native species — creating a park-like setting without feeling overly dense. The natural grade change as you move toward the lake lends itself well to a walkout basement design, giving you the opportunity to maximize views and take full advantage of the topography. Electric service is already in place, with utility poles and a transformer located at the road along the north property line — one less thing to worry about when it's time to build. Directly across the road, state land provides a permanent natural buffer, with endless opportunities to enjoy Northern Michigan's wildlife, recreation, and wide-open scenery. Waterfront acreage at this size is increasingly hard to find. Whether you're envisioning a year-round residence, a vacation retreat, or a long-term investment, this parcel offers the space, setting, and potential to build something truly special.
