A one-of-a-kind opportunity in the heart of Leelanau County — the only truly build-ready log home site on the market. Tucked into 1.20 wooded acres in the Timber View Ridge community outside Empire, this parcel arrives with the hard work done: a prepared 28' x 52' slab-ready foundation site, septic tank installed under an active health-department permit, well installation underway, and a 150-foot drive already in. The vision is ready too — full architectural plans for a 1,980 sq. ft. Beaver Log Homes design convey with the sale, along with on-site building materials — and the complete log package is available with an acceptable offer. Better still, this community was planned for exactly this home: the covenants call for natural-wood exteriors with logs expressly preferred. Building, zoning, and health-department permits are paid and executed. Where most vacant land hands you a two-year project, this one hands you a running start: many months of site work, engineering, and supply decisions already behind you, with the savings in both time and cost that come with it. Even the builder question is answered — the seller is a licensed builder and may be available to complete the home under separate arrangement. And you can enjoy the property now: association documents allow camping while you plan (up to 8 weeks per year) and Short term rentals of one week or more, with community open space for hiking, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiles. All of it sits minutes from the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, the village of Empire, Glen Lake schools, and the beaches, trails, and wineries that make this corner of Michigan a destination. Picture the finished cabin in the trees at the end of your own drive — then come see how much of the picture is already real.
