Property Description
The view is already here. Now build the home that belongs with it. Perched on a gentle rise at 9012 Aurora Vista Trail, this exceptional 5.15-acre parcel captures panoramic views of Elk Lake, the narrows leading toward Lake Skegemog, and the rolling, tree-covered hills beyond. The changing seasons become part of the landscape, from fresh spring color and deep summer greens to the brilliant foliage of a Northern Michigan autumn. With its elevation, generous acreage, and expansive vistas, the property offers a remarkable setting for a private estate designed to celebrate the view. An access easement has already been identified, establishing the intended route for a future driveway. The parcel's size and rolling topography create opportunities for thoughtful positioning, outdoor living spaces, and a home designed around privacy, natural light, and the surrounding scenery.
