Peninsula Housing is excited to announce the acquisition of a home on Herman Rd in Suttons Bay, Michigan. “Under our care, this home will remain an affordable year-round residence forever,” says Board President, Larry Mawby. This three-bedroom home is within walking distance of Suttons Bays Schools and Herman Park and is close to Village amenities. The qualities that make it a great home also put it at high risk of removal from our area’s critically low housing stock due to its high likelihood of conversion to a short-term rental. Peninsula Housing is grateful to the late realtor John Watkins for bringing this property to our attention and to the sellers for working with us.

Over the next few months, Peninsula Housing will work on updating the home and will prepare to welcome new homeowners living in the home in 2023. Any groups or individuals interested in volunteering their time or donating resources to help update this home can contact Peninsula Housing at home@peninsula-housing.org.

Peninsula Housing was formed in August 2021 in response to the severe housing shortage in Northern Michigan. We are a 501c3 community land trust committed to offering perpetual affordable housing by owning real estate that provides affordable housing.
