Description

Beautiful wooded lot with 82 ft of frontage on Bar Lake ... steps from the sandy beach accesses of LAKE MICHIGAN and the Audubon Center. The property has been perked and zoning is grandfathered for building on this lot. Great paved road dead-ends just past this property so you'll enjoy the quiet location, loaded with deer and wildlife. Bar Lake is a spring fed lake that is ideal for kayaking and canoeing. There is a $250/year assessment that continues the efforts to keep the lake at its best, studying...Beautiful wooded lot with 82 ft of frontage on Bar Lake ... steps from the sandy beach accesses of LAKE MICHIGAN and the Audubon Center. The property has been perked and zoning is grandfathered for building on this lot. Great paved road dead-ends just past this property so you'll enjoy the quiet location, loaded with deer and wildlife. Bar Lake is a spring fed lake that is ideal for kayaking and canoeing. There is a $250/year assessment that continues the efforts to keep the lake at its best, studying and remediating any weed species. Over an acre of land makes this an ideal building site for your northern Michigan retreat or retirement plan. Less than the current assessed value and MUCH less than the sellers paid in 2006.) The neighbor to the West has a dock at the water's edge ... ... and right on the property line. There is also a rough duck blind on the property which is in an ideal location for your new home!
