Summary

In July 2002, Ed Wojan Realty advertised a 4.6-acre West Side parcel south of McCauley’s Point with 200.27 feet of sandy beach frontage. The listing described a high building site, critical-dune setting, and access by a private drive connecting to Eagle Hill Road off Barney’s Lake Road. It also said the Kuebler Trail crossed the interior and gave an asking price of $275,000.

The record preserves the listing’s road-access and landscape claims; it does not establish a completed sale, parcel polygon, subdivision record, or current trail alignment.

Open questions

  • Which deed or subdivision lot corresponds to the listing?
  • Is the private drive public, named, or still accessible?
  • Can the referenced survey and McCauley’s Point Subdivision sketch be located?

Sources

  1. Offers a 4.6-acre West Side parcel south of McCauley’s Point with 200.27 feet of sandy beach frontage, a high building site, and a private drive connecting to Eagle Hill Road off Barney’s Lake Road. It mentions a survey copy and McCauley’s Point Subdivision sketch but does not supply them, a deed, completed sale, or exact polygon. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.

  2. The held thirty-eight-page issue scan is paired with the OCR source and confirms the published notice or report; it does not expand the source-specific identity, event, or outcome claims.

  3. The snapshot contains parcel 012-232-003-30 at approximately -85.5694168, 45.7225789: 4.6 acres, with a legal description running 200 feet along Lake Michigan shore. Those acreage and frontage figures closely match the 2002 listing and make this the strongest current parcel candidate; its representative point is used as the property anchor. The snapshot labels the site 36315 McCauley’s Point Road, while the listing describes a private drive connecting to Eagle Hill Road off Barney’s Lake Road; the point is therefore an approximate likely-parcel locator, not a surveyed boundary or proof that the 2002 access description and current road address are identical.
