Overview

The property consists of approximately 134 acres of agricultural land in Ag zoning. The site has a history of fruit and specialty production, and it is currently planted in corn. At the center of operations is a primary production barn equipped with a walk-in freezer, supporting produce handling, cold storage, or food-processing related uses. A separate building provides additional space with workshop area and an office area, suitable for equipment maintenance, business administration, woodworking, or storage.

The offering is located in Ellsworth in Antrim County, Northern Michigan, positioned just north of Torch Lake and east of Lake Michigan. The land is described as being in one of the region’s recognized fruit-growing areas.

For buyers seeking an operating farm platform, this property combines sizable acreage with on-site infrastructure for agricultural or food production activities. The existing buildings and freezer can support day-to-day handling and storage needs, while the workshop and office area offer practical space for operations and management. The property may also fit buyers looking for agricultural land with built-in production improvements that can be adapted to other farm-based business models consistent with Ag zoning.
