Park Place (Empire Beach) in Glen Arbor

From the porch/deck of this exceptional 2200sq.ft. home, enjoy the
spectacular Lake Michigan sunsets. Walk 800 ft. to the Lake Michigan
shore and play on the magnificent sugar sand beach that connects
35 miles of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.
The back yard adjoins a nature preserve where deer, wild
turkeys, fox and other wildlife are frequently seen. The side yard
rolls gently down to a mowed grass park and the edge of South Bar
Lake, a 1 mile long lake just 200 ft. from the Michigan shoreline.
Within walking distance of one block to the east are the post office,
grocery store, bank, Friendly's Tavern and Tiffany's Ice Cream
Parlor. Two blocks to the east is the Public Library.
This is truly a unique location.
Because our Lake Michigan home is special to us, we request
great care and consideration from our renters.
