Devils Lake anchors the Irish Hills, one of southeast Michigan's most established lake recreation corridors. +/-1,330-acre, all-sports lake, 45 minutes from Ann Arbor & 20 minutes from Tecumseh via US-12. The offering is a +/-8.1-acre lakefront site in Manitou Beach, the lake's commercial hub, w/an option to assemble an additional +/-0.9 acres for a total of +/-9 acres. The site is offered as-is, supported by a preliminary concept layout & a professional aerial film, in a shoreline market defined by predominantly private residential ownership & very limited developable inventory. Build your own private waterfront estate, compound or develop the site for multiple homes. The parcel is a scalable canvas suited to a high-end lakefront program: concepts range from 11 single-family waterfront home sites to a 30-unit luxury condominium community, w/residential-marina & boardwalk frontage among the design possibilities & the adjoining assembly positioned for a resident clubhouse amenity. Concept Rendering #1: 11 homes + boardwalk marina, home sites around a shared boardwalk & marina basin - the raised-walkway approach the township has favored; Concept Rendering #2: 11 homes, dredged to waterfront, dredge so each of the 11 lot fronts water w/a private dock-canal-style waterfront homes; Concept Rendering #3: lg condominium community, dredge a central marina basin for a larger condominium community - the maximum-density upside. Market data shows new construction waterfront listings on Devils Lake & surrounding lakes have a median SOLD price of $1.2M. Demand is driven by 2nd home & day-trip buyers from Ann Arbor, Toledo, & Jackson, & reinforced by the surrounding amenity base - more than 50 lakes within a 15-mile radius, state parks & hiking trails, wineries, marinas, & the Manitou Beach commercial district itself.
