Michigan Land for Sale

Michigan land auctions for farms and lakefront properties regularly bring top dollar to sellers of larger parcels of Michigan real estate.  Certified Auctioneers are available to sell property in Michigan and nationwide.  

For choice lakefront real estate, Michigan is the place to go.  The state features the longest freshwater shoreline of any political subdivision in the world with 3,177 miles of shoreline on four of five Great Lakes.  As the 11th largest state in the nation, Michigan extends over 96,810 square miles.  It is the largest state east of the Mississippi River.  Michigan lakefront real estate includes rich farmlands, recreational, and vacation properties along approximately 65,000 lakes, ponds and rivers.

Located in the northern Midwest USA, Michigan real estate lies over two large peninsulas separated by the straits of MacKinac.  The forested Upper Peninsula is home to the Porcupine Mountains that rise to about 2,000 feet above sea level.  The Lower Peninsula contains two-thirds of the Michigan land.  Lansing is the state capital.

Michigan Lakefront Property

In addition to Michigan lakefront real estate, every parcel of Michigan land is less than 6 miles from a water source and less than 90 miles from one of the Great Lakes.  Lake Michigan extends along the western border, Lake Superior to the north, Lake Huron to the northeast and east, and Lake Erie in the southeastern corner.  The state has more lighthouses than any other state and ranks No. 3 in number of registered recreational boats.  Although most of its borders are the large bodies of water, Indiana and Ohio share the southern border and Wisconsin meets Michigan on the southwestern edge of the northern peninsula.  In addition to shipping from ports, the state features Interstate 75, which extends south of Detroit through Flint and north to Sault Ste Marie.
