THE LAKE ANN LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Platte River Outwash setting.

Lake Ann village has 0.45 square miles of land in Benzie County. Its Census reference point is in Platte River Outwash, within North Central Hardwood Forests.

This transition between northern forests and southern farming country includes lakes, wetlands and hardwood woodland. Glacial landforms support a mosaic of open land and wooded areas.

Regional context: North Central Hardwood Forests ↗ · Classification at the Census reference point

Lake Ann and Benzie County

Lake Ann is associated with Benzie County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.

Benzie County

Lake Ann by land and water

The Census records 0.03 square miles of water within Lake Ann, or 6.5% of its total area. It is 56.3 percentage points lower than the 62.8% recorded for Benzie County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Lake Ann village has 1.3 times the land area of nearby Maple Grove CDP (0.35 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Lake Ann land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Locate the parcel within Lake Ann

Use a tax bill, deed, or assessor’s parcel number to pin down the land in Lake Ann. Check the Benzie County geography against the actual property location.

02

Read the Platte River Outwash setting

Platte River Outwash belongs to North Central Hardwood Forests. How do the parcel's woods, open areas and lake or wetland edges relate to its surveyed boundaries and access?

03

Check the route, beyond Maple Grove

Maple Grove is 1.3 miles south of the Lake Ann reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?

QUESTIONS GROUNDED IN THIS PLACE

Your Lake Ann
land questions.

Have a tax bill, an inherited deed, or simply a map pin? Start with what you have.

What should I send for land in Lake Ann?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Benzie County. Lake Ann’s 0.45 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Lake Ann property in Platte River Outwash?+

No. Platte River Outwash is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Lake Ann boundary and individual properties can cross landscape transitions. Open the regional source and the topographic map, then locate the actual parcel before applying regional context.

Can I use Maple Grove as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 1.3 miles south of Lake Ann’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near Lake Ann?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners. We review the parcel before deciding whether to propose a purchase; if a sale moves forward, the closing company can explain remote signing arrangements.
