Description

Wow! 57.6 acres with 1,400 feet of Lake Michigan frontage in Manistee just west of the Walgreen's at US31 & Merkey Rd. This remarkable, rare parcel has potential for development but might cost $1 to $2 million for infrastructure (roads & hooking up to city water and sewer) or would make an incredible place for a stately home. Or use the existing 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home built in 1999. Could include commercial but there are some wetlands. If more than one home on site, hooking up to city water & sewer...Wow! 57.6 acres with 1,400 feet of Lake Michigan frontage in Manistee just west of the Walgreen's at US31 & Merkey Rd. This remarkable, rare parcel has potential for development but might cost $1 to $2 million for infrastructure (roads & hooking up to city water and sewer) or would make an incredible place for a stately home. Or use the existing 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home built in 1999. Could include commercial but there are some wetlands. If more than one home on site, hooking up to city water & sewer is mandated by the city of Manistee. But one could tear down existing home & have an incredible, very large 57.6 acre parcel for a new home and recreational purposes. Convenient to town. Higher bluff. Incredible views. Don't miss this opportunity. Priced below township SEV.
