Some parcels give you a place to build. This one gives you a view worth building around. Perched above the surrounding countryside in Empire's peaceful Timber View Ridge community, this remarkable 1.02-acre homesite captures the natural beauty that makes Leelanau County unforgettable. From its elevated setting, the landscape unfolds toward Big Glen Lake, Sleeping Bear Bay, the Manitou Islands, and the western horizon. Wildlife, star-filled skies, and unforgettable sunsets create a setting that feels private, expansive, and distinctly Up North. Located on a cul-de-sac on a paved private road, the parcel offers a combination of open space, mature trees, and varied topography for an inspired home design. An electrical panel is already in place, bringing the vision one step closer to reality. Community building guidelines include a minimum 1,500-square-foot footprint, providing ample opportunity to create a home thoughtfully designed around the views. Timber View Ridge is a quiet, well-planned community with shared natural areas and meandering trails for hiking, cross-country skiing, and simply enjoying the surrounding landscape.
