1950435 MLS ⋅ Woodlands At Mistwood Greens BLDG.
Can't find your perfect home? Here's your chance to build it. Tucked into Lake Ann, this location puts you right in the sweet spot: about 25 minutes to Downtown Traverse City's dining and shopping, and roughly equidistant to the beaches of Lake Michigan and the East and West bays. Grab a pour at Lake Ann Brewing Company just 7 minutes away, or head 5 minutes to public water access for an evening on the lake. Few spots in Northern Michigan give you this kind of reach in every direction without sacrificing the quiet. This 0.67-acre parcel sits in the peaceful Woodlands community at Unit 3, Cameron Ct, steps from the 7th green of Mistwood's White Course. The gently sloping terrain is ideal for a home with a walk-out basement and a deck overlooking the green, while the opposite side opens to sweeping countryside views with Varney Hill as the backdrop. This is a real chance to get into a growing corner of Northern Michigan before it grows further. Close enough to Traverse City to benefit from that proximity, far enough out to keep the country feel that's getting harder to find. If you've been searching for a home that checks every box and can't quite find it, this is where you stop looking and start building.
