School District
Karnes Road sits within Glen Lake Community Schools, the K-12 district serving Glen Arbor, Empire, and the surrounding Leelanau County lake country. The campus on M-22 in Maple City houses Glen Lake Elementary, Glen Lake Middle School, and Glen Lake High School — all a single, consolidated campus roughly 15 minutes from the property.
School boundaries are set by the district independently of physical proximity and can change. Confirm Parcel 14 Karnes Rd against the current Glen Lake Community Schools boundary map before publishing "zoned for" language.
Four-Season Lifestyle
Glen Arbor sits at the heart of the Sleeping Bear region. Summers mean Glen Lake, Crystal River tubing, and Lake Michigan beaches. Fall brings the color that draws visitors from across the country to the M-22 corridor. Winters are quiet, snowy, and scenic, with cross-country skiing and downhill at The Homestead. Spring thaws open the dunes trails and orchard blossoms.
Nearby Amenities
National lakeshore, inland lakes, and the Glen Arbor village — all within a few minutes of Karnes Road.
The wider Leelanau Peninsula adds the M-22 wine trail, cherry orchards, and lighthouse parks, while Traverse City — 30 minutes east — brings regional dining, shopping, and Cherry Capital Airport.
