7 Acres VL II Road

This 6.86-acre waterfront parcel for sale near Fairport, Michigan has about 1,000 feet of Lake Michigan shoreline on the Garden Peninsula. The shore is a mix of soft sand and classic limestone, with open water views to both Little Summer and Summer Island and sunsets over Big Bay de Noc. The shoreline sits along the Lake Michigan Water Trail, which follows the U.P.’s northern Lake Michigan coast. The beach makes an easy launch for a kayak or paddleboard. You can push off in the morning when the water’s calm and paddle out to Little Summer Island, about 2 miles off the Fairport shore. It has shallow water and light boat traffic. Summer Island is about 2 miles past that, with rocky cliffs, sandy landing beaches, and old logging camp and fishing shanty sites. Poverty Island and its historic lighthouse are a longer open-water trip, about 5 miles beyond Summer. The Fairport boat launch is nearby for bigger boats. Back on land, a trail winds through the woods to the water. There’s a cleared building site and an existing well and septic system (buyer to verify, not in active use). Splits are available. Deer are common here, and there’s a hunting blind on site for fall. Fayette Historic State Park is about 15 minutes up the road. This is rare Lake Michigan frontage in Delta County, in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
