Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

The Glen Lake Manor, situated on 5 wooded acres with 172 feet of sandy Glen Lake frontage, has operated in various forms since 1906. The property has served as host to lumbermen, vacationers, diners, and wedding guests. A restoration was completed in 2005 on the kitchen, dining area, restrooms, and office space, along with a refresh in 2022/23. The second story of the Manor contains the original 13 rooms, with an unused attic space above. One of the 2-bedroom cottages was recently remodeled and could be used as a weekly rental or owner housing during redevelopment. All buildings received new roofs in 2021. The Empire Township special use permit process was finalized in November 2024, allowing for redevelopment with 9 en-suite guest rooms and 1 manager/owner suite, continuation of the 50-seat restaurant, a 20-seat lounge, and use of the 3 free-standing rental cottages. A complete package of architectural and site plans is available.
