The OpportunityPelissier Lake is an exceptional opportunity to invest in a property with many desirable development attributes in one of Michigan's most vibrant communities.Located in Marquette in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Pelissier Lake offers 610.31+ acres of undeveloped forest with frontage on Pelissier Lake and Marquette County Road 553 (M 553).With the proximity to the City of Marquette, current development trends, and the outstanding quality of the land base, there is no comparable opportunity in today's market.LocationPelissier Lake is located approximately 4.5 miles south of US41-M28 in the City of Marquette, and 1.5 miles south of Marquette Mountain on M 553.The area is a well-known recreational area with the Noquamenon Trail Network and Marquette Mountain offering both alpine and Nordic skiing, mountain biking, and hiking opportunities.As a result of this popularity and the need for growth in Marquette, the M 553 corridor has seen several development projects featuring light manufacturing, commercial, and both multi-family and single-family residential homes in recent years.The property is superbly located to continue this trend and will provide an investor with a diverse collection of development opportunities.FeaturesThe property is currently undeveloped and features a high quality well-stocked northern hardwood forest dominated by sugar maple and red oak.The site is gently rolling on well-drained soils and as you get closer to Pelissier Lake, rock outcrops become visible with dramatic views of the lake and surrounding landscape.The property is accessed directly from M 553 at multiple points and there is a well-developed network of interior woods roads that access the entire property.The timber inventory has not been updated, but there is considerable value in standing timber and the resource is poised to provide immediate cash flows while development opportunities are evaluated.The property features approximately 3,500 feet of frontage on Pelissier Lake and is zoned for residential development.The lake shore varies from nearly level to the south to modest elevation and slopes to the shore on the north.All the lakeshore is dominated by mature timber and rock outcrop features that evoke a wilderness aesthetic.This portion of the property is ideally suited for single family home development and provides a strong sense of privacy and solitude only five minutes from Marquette.All the property adjacent to M 553 is zoned for commercial development. This zoning designation allows for unlimited opportunities in Sands Township.M 553 is the primary commuter route between Marquette and many small communities to the south and the Michigan Department of Transportation calculated an average daily vehicle count of 8,444 vehicles in 2024.The remaining portions of the property to the east of M 553 offer further opportunity.This portion of the property can also be accessed from Silver Creek Road and features exceptional timber quality and a gently rolling landscape.Possibilities exist for further recreational development, kingdom estates, or single-family development.In any case, the property is truly unique and unlike anything on the market in the greater Marquette area.
