Land with Home for Sale in Empire, Michigan
11530 S Benzonia Trl, Empire, MI 49630
Some homes are measured by numbers. The best ones are measured by the life they make possible. This thoughtfully maintained home offers comfortable living in a setting that invites you to slow down and enjoy everything Northern Michigan has to offer. A private primary suite features its own ensuite bath and the overall layout makes the most of every square foot. Step outside onto the back deck and discover a spacious backyard that naturally becomes an extension of the home. Mature trees provide privacy and welcome shade, while sunny clearings create the perfect setting for gardening, backyard games, family barbecues, or evenings gathered around a bonfire beneath the stars. The location is where this property truly shines. Just minutes from Empire, you'll have easy access to the sandy shores of Lake Michigan, the crystal-clear waters of Big and Little Glen Lake at the Narrows, and the endless outdoor adventures of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Spend your days hiking, biking the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail, kayaking, or exploring the local shops and restaurants in nearby Empire, Glen Arbor, and Honor before returning home to your own peaceful retreat. Located in the highly regarded Glen Lake School District and offering an easy commute to Traverse City for work, shopping, and entertainment, this home presents an opportunity to enjoy one of Northern Michigan's most sought-after communities. Because in the end, the best homes aren't remembered for their measurements. They're remembered for the life that's lived there.
