    About this House

    Here is a rare opportunity to own 66 feet of highly desirable, private, beautiful, West Bay frontage at the intersection of Neahtawanta and Shipman Road and (two) beautifully wooded, conforming, buildable, sites which are a little further down on Shipman Road. Both sites on Shipman Road are buildable lots. The frontage is not buildable. What is allowed is a single family home to be used as a primary home (or secondary home which can also be rented) and the second parcel can be a guest home which can also be a rental home. This property can eventually be split. In the meantime, this is a perfect opportunity for a large, extended, family to have two separate parcels close to each other (one house separates the parcels) but both homes can enjoy the beach rights on beautiful West Bay! The private frontage goes with this property and is the perfect place to have your own dock and boat hoist and skip the expense of a private slip! There is also ample parking at the end of Shipman Road at Neahtawanta. Enjoy kayaking, paddle boarding, Sea-Doos, water trampolines, or boat out to Power Island, you name it! You’re so close to local restaurants, award-winning wineries, hiking, biking, and so much more. For a better picture of the property, see the attached survey. The two building sites consist of Parcel A which is 1.15 Acres and parcel A-1 which is .68 Acres. This combined parcel also owns Shipman Road, which intersects at Neahtawanta Road and Shipman Road. This ownership provides the 66 feet of private frontage and parking. A road association is currently in place and maintains the road. Summer is just around the corner so it’s time to figure out where the dock, boat, and toys are going! Like most inventory on the market today this won’t last!
    Shipman Rd, Traverse City, MI 49686 is a lot/land. It last sold for $127,000 on Oct 12, 2018 (20% below the $159,000 asking price). This property is not currently displayed as for sale or rent on Trulia.
