Land for Sale in Traverse City, Michigan
S Whispering Hills Dr, Traverse City, MI 49684
Positioned just minutes from South Lake Leelanau, this .87-acre corner lot offers a combination of location, usability, and flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find in Leelanau County. Public water access is nearby, providing convenient entry to South Lake Leelanau Boat Launch without the cost or limitations of direct frontage. That distinction matters for buyers who want consistent access without committing to waterfront ownership. The lot itself is flat, accessible, and located on a paved road with high-speed internet available. As a corner parcel, it offers multiple options for driveway placement, building orientation, and future use. Zoning allows for a range of possibilities, including residential use, short-term rental potential, or a home-based business, subject to township guidelines. This flexibility makes the property viable for buyers looking to build now, hold for future use, or create a hybrid live/work setup. Its proximity to the Leelanau TART Trail and destinations like Farm Club adds another layer of day-to-day usability, while still maintaining a quieter, residential setting. This is a fit for buyers who understand the value of location and want to control how the property is used over time.
