    Description

    A once-in-a-generation offering - 253 feet of private, direct West Bay frontage on Old Mission Peninsula. Very few parcels remain with this much untouched frontage - this is a fantastic opportunity to bring your vision and dreams to create your own ideal retreat from scratch. Building restrictions are limited to Peninsula Township regulations; Phelps road is extremely private, and this section is publicly maintained by Grand Traverse County - there are no private road agreements, and maintenance is guaranteed. Please note that waterfront cannot be split, but additional acreage across the road easement may be eligible for a split/resale in the future.
    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from March 10, 2025
