What led to the offering of lots for sale at this unparalleled traditional home community in Petoskey, Michigan?
The Hotchkiss brothers decided to embark upon this northern Michigan project in the fall of 2006. It’s culminated into what they truly believe is one of the most unique and beautiful developments in Petoskey and all of northern Michigan.
Their first task was to find the perfect parcel of land. After months of detective work and soul-searching, they found this area (located at latitude 45.362896, longitude -84.995534) elevated some 250 feet above Lake Michigan. The instant they discovered their new home they knew it offered panoramic views of Little Traverse Bay and breath-taking sunsets due to it’s northwestern location.
They purchased the land and cleared it in 2007 to create both unobstructed and unobstructable views of the bay. They were quick to pave the road and secure a full compliment of underground utilities including natural gas, electricity, telephone and high speed internet.
Finally – and perhaps most passionately – they personally planted an orchard comprised of 450 apple trees and 1,100 raspberry plants.
Just last year they arranged for turf grass and a professionally-crafted, lighted sign (and landscaping) to adorn their future northern Michigan home's entrance.
That brings
us to date. Their next step is to find their neighbors. We sincerely look
forward to finding the select few, who will share the unparalleled
beauty of sunsets and our passion for this slice of paradise in Northern
Michigan
We very much look forward to those coming years in which you’ll share with us the beauty of the seasons from the first apple blossom in the spring to the final fall harvest awash in the blazing colors of fall and beyond.
