Property Description
Dreaming of your ''Up North'' experience on Torch Lake? Welcome to this cleared, level, and ready to build site across from one of the most beautiful lakes in Michigan! This 1-acre wooded lot has the driveway installed, select trees removed, and PERC test completed, so bring your builder and create the lake house of your dreams. Torch Lake public access points are at the end of Best St, which is across the road, or go a mile north to Paige Rd. access and park. The charming town of Alden, and Dewitt Marine for putting in your boat, are less than 2 miles from this peaceful lot. Helena Twp currently has no short-term rental restrictions, so there is the potential for rental income after building your lake house. Enjoy the dining and shopping of Bellaire with a short 15-minute drive, or head to Traverse City which is 30 minutes away. An additional 2.15 acre lot is available immediate behind this parcel to create a generous Up North retreat.
