Property: Part of the city but sequestered in a peaceful country setting next to Erfert Park, this 1.75 acre lot is a hidden gem. The south half is partially cleared, while the north half boasts groves of maples, elms, and oaks, providing a nice insulation from the small amount of traffic on Chicago Avenue. BestNeighborhoods.org has labeled this neighborhood as one of Lansing's finest, and its flat topography and lack of floodplain encroachments make it a perfect spot to build your new home. Connect your driveway to Chicago Avenue, a public street lined with power. Given the exclusive feel of the area, you might expect an HOA or Cc+Rs to ride with the land, but it comes with no deed restrictions, so let your imagination run wild. The only rules imposed on your build come from Lansing's R1 Residential zoning, but those regulations are very flexible. Right outside your door, access the wonders of Lansing Woods just 2 minutes to the west, part of the Forest Preserve District, which includes the Thorn Creek Trail System. Go hiking, bicycling and cross-country skiing, or drive 7 minutes farther to the tranquil waters of Wampum Lake, featuring shady picnic groves and year-round fishing opportunities along a one mile shoreline. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity at an unbeatable Acretown price. Buy today and open the next exciting chapter of your life.

Making an Offer
Call, text. or email Scott if you'd like to discuss an offer.
For sale by owner: We are investors, and are selling this lot For-Sale-By-Owner. You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a Realtor, then you're welcome to have them contact us on your behalf.
How do we price so low?
Why are you selling so cheap? We are often asked why we price our properties at below market value, and the answer is really simple: because we can, and that's our core business model. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and deeply liquidated rates, and by passing this discount on to our buyers, we can sell land quickly...and more of it. In fact, our average property only lasts 2-3 weeks on the market (vs. industry average of about 6 months).
Disclaimer: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyers responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, buildability, and approved/allowable usage for the property. We are happy to help however we can.
