Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This offering is a 134-acre agricultural property zoned Ag, currently planted in corn and supported by established farm infrastructure. The centerpiece is a primary production barn totaling 5,700 square feet and includes a walk-in freezer for cold storage and produce handling. A separate building provides 6,200 square feet of workshop and office area, supporting equipment maintenance, business administration, woodworking, storage, or other value-added farm uses. The property’s agricultural background includes prior cherry production, along with facilities suited to processing and production workflows.
The property is located in Ellsworth, north of Torch Lake and east of Lake Michigan, in a recognized fruit-growing area within Northern Michigan farm country. A land conservancy is in place.
For buyers seeking a working agricultural base rather than vacant acreage, the combination of planted farmland and on-site production and support buildings can support a range of operations, including continued commodity farming, specialty crop production, or farm-related food production and storage. The existing freezer and production barn can support produce handling and preservation activities, while the workshop/office building can accommodate equipment and operational needs for a farm store, processing business, or an adapted production model.
