Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This property is zoned Regional Business and currently includes two cabins plus a storage garage. The site has previously been approved for a 12-unit apartment building, and the seller is willing to share available plans and drawings with qualified buyers. Buyer should verify all square footage and dimensions from public records.

Waterfront context is a notable part of the site’s appeal, with East Grand Traverse Bay directly across the street. The property is also described as a good fit for a seasonal business tied to the nearby state park and the TART trail, which may support a mix of rental and light commercial uses within the permitted zoning framework.

With Regional Business zoning allowing for office, retail, and rentals, this parcel can fit a range of ownership and operating plans, including expanding beyond the two existing cabins. The prior multifamily approval provides a clear starting point for redevelopment discussions. For buyers who want flexibility across hospitality and commercial-oriented uses, the combination of existing improvements and zoning breadth makes this a practical site to evaluate.

Key Highlights

  • Regional Business zoning allows office, retail, and rentals
  • Waterfront‑facing property with East Grand Traverse Bay across the street
  • Includes 2 existing cabins and a storage garage on‑site
