Listing description

What the seller provided

Commencing 279.5 feet S of NE corner, thence S 120 feet, thence S89D5’W to water's edge of Lake Michigan, thence NELY on Lake to a point S89D58’W of beginning, thence N89D58’E to POB, EXCEPT the E 633 feet thereof The subject property is a vacant ~0.5-acre parcel that is surrounded by 3 private landowners. The parcel does not have legal road access and is only accessible to the adjacent landowners or via Lake Michigan. The property has about 120-foot frontage on Lake Michigan and is located west of Lake Vista Drive west of the Lakeshore Drive intersection within Shoreham MI. The property is comprised of well drained sandy soil with 0 to 3% slopes with a large bluff going down to Lake Michigan. It appears that some of the adjacent landowners have been maintaining portions of the property as part of their yard and have also constructed stairs going down the bluff to Lake Michigan. These uses have not been permitted by the State of Michigan. The parcel is zoned within the R-1 Estate Residential District which requires a minimum size of 21000 sq. feet (0.48-acre) and a width of 100 foot to meet local zoning to build requirements. The subject property likely meets local zoning to build as a standalone parcel based on the local zoning ordinance. On the contrary most of the property is located along the beach ridge which prohibits building. In addition the side yard setback is 25 feet which would limit a structure to only ~70-foot of buildable space and legal access to a road would likely be a requirement before a building permit would be approved.
