Just outside the quaint village of Empire, tucked into the quiet charm of the Westview development, lies a beautiful wooded parcel ready for your Up North dreams. Situated near the end of a private road, this property offers a rare sense of seclusion, surrounded by mature hardwoods and evergreens, with the peaceful feeling of a much larger parcel. The land’s undulating topography opens up a variety of design possibilities—ideal for a home with a walkout lower level or hillside views. Whether you're envisioning a weekend getaway, a full-time residence, or a spot to one day retire, this hilltop setting provides the flexibility and character to match your goals. Westview is a smaller development known for its quiet setting and natural surroundings. With thoughtful building guidelines—including a 1,200 square foot minimum dwelling and allowance for matching accessory buildings—you’ll find just the right balance between structure and creative freedom. Best of all, you're minutes from the heart of Empire and the sugar-sand shores of Empire Beach. The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore stretches out all around you, with endless opportunities to hike, bike, ski, and explore. The Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail, Glen Arbor, and countless inland lakes are close by—and when you need the city, Traverse City is an easy 30-minute drive. This is a place where life slows down just enough to notice the sunset, hear the wind in the trees, and appreciate the beauty of northern Michigan. A place where a parcel isn’t just a lot—it’s the beginning of something special.
