Overview

This surveyed vacant homesite offers a wooded, natural setting suitable for a primary residence. The parcel is approximately 0.85 acres and sits among mature hardwoods, with protected Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy land bordering the north and west property lines. Zoning is Residential, with Metes and Bounds description and outbuildings allowed, providing flexibility for accessory structures.

The property is located at 1601 Vanderlip Road in Traverse City, Grand Traverse County. Public remarks indicate it is minutes from downtown Traverse City as well as East Bay, shopping, dining, and outdoor recreation, while also being surrounded by established homes in a “Northern Michigan wooded” setting.

For buyers looking for a residential building site, the combination of a surveyed lot, outbuildings-allowed zoning, and preserved neighboring conservation land can support a straightforward path to planning and construction. The conserved adjacency on two sides is a practical attribute for maintaining a private, wooded backdrop while still keeping convenient access to Traverse City amenities.
