Fantastic Big Canoe Lot, Close to Gate and Mountain Views

Looking for a Big Canoe lot featuring mountain views and close proximity to the North Gate?  3344 Wildcat Trail is a gently sloping 1 acre lot in the Wildcat section of the Big Canoe Community.  This 60 mile Eastern view will greet you in the morning while you sip coffee on your back deck or screened porch and shade you in the afternoon while grilling up some fresh trout from Lake Petit. The rolling acres of the Wildcat Neighborhood are etched with several miles of walking and biking trails, many of them paved. The homes in Wildcat range in style from Craftsman to Old World Timberframe, and have stricter building codes than other neighborhoods in Big Canoe. Many remember the 2005 Street of Dreams in Big Canoe on White Aster Lane. Well, Wildcat has since expanded and the Big Canoe homes  for sale  that are popping up are strikingly beautiful in this peaceful mountain setting. Only select builders are permitted in this section. Please feel free to contact me regarding any building information.

3344 Wildcat Trail is a unique lot in that it has nearly level grade gently sloping down to the back of the lot with a big view off the back. A lot like this is truly desirable because it provides for a level driveway and saves tens of thousands of dollars in foundation costs. Gardeners will love this lot because of it’s park-like setting. Many hardwoods surround this lot providing exceptional fall color and summer shade.

Whether you plan to work from home, commute, or simply retire in Big Canoe, this lot is worthy of your dream home. Call me to see this lot. I know it well and have plenty of pictures to email you!
