Home For Sale near Lake Michigan - Leelanau County

The Willowbrook Mill is a true architectural landmark in the Village of Northport. Widely recognized as an award-winning event venue, this historic, creekside property presents a rare residential or mixed-use opportunity for the visionary buyer. Currently, the Willowbrook is home to both residential and commercial uses. The main floor is primarily commercial and includes four distinct yet interconnected spaces---the lobby, a ballroom with commercial kitchen, private porch bar, and creekside retail area. These commercial areas are designed to function together or independently, accommodating a wide range of events and uses. The upstairs level features a 656-square-foot residential apartment, complete with kitchenette, 3/4-bathroom, laundry, and combination living room and sleeping area. This functional space is designed to complement the commercial investment, offering ideal utility as a dedicated home office, a unique live/work setup, or convenient on-site housing for a property manager or business owner. This studio apartment is included in the total acquisition of the Willowbrook Mill---providing an unmatched opportunity for a turnkey lifestyle and business solution in the center of the Village. Enjoy the mixed use configuration already in place, or creatively re-imagine these spaces in accordance with the permitted residential and commercial uses of the Village C-1 District (see the Village of Northport Zoning Ordinance for details). Bring your creative vision to this iconic waterfront property---this is a unique legacy opportunity with limitless possibilities! *The Willowbrook Mill will continue to operate, it is not going out of business.
