Residential Land for Sale in Suttons Bay, Michigan

Bring your vision to life on a parcel that blends nature with development groundwork already in place. Located just outside the Village of Suttons Bay, this diverse property is positioned in one of Leelanau County’s most desirable areas. The landscape is richly layered with evergreens, select hardwoods, and native vegetation. In many areas, the growth is thick and natural, complemented by rolling terrain that carries you through a setting that feels untouched and distinctly Northern Michigan. Wetlands weave through portions of the property, inviting wildlife and enhancing privacy, while Leo Creek flows through the parcel, further contributing to its peaceful, natural character. The Leelanau Trail — part of the TART trail—runs along the eastern edge of the property, offering direct proximity to one of the region’s most beloved recreational corridors. Rather than a cleared, open lot, this parcel presents a unique opportunity for the next owner to shape the landscape with intention. A higher upland area rises above the surrounding terrain, offering a potential elevated homesite tucked within the trees. Sheltered and private, this setting provides the opportunity to transform natural elevation into your own vision. Significant groundwork has already been completed. A survey and wetland delineation have been finalized and proposed driveway location has been approved by the Road Commission. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) has reviewed the site and issued a permit for development. A perc test is scheduled for completion this spring to determine suitability for a septic system. The foundational steps are already in motion. Whether you envision a private Up North residence, a secluded recreational retreat, or a long-term investment just minutes from Suttons Bay’s marina, beaches, dining, and wineries, this property offers preparation, flexibility, and potential. Land like this doesn't simply offer space–it offers possibility.
