11486 Essex, Ellsworth
Listing Details
A rare opportunity to own Rocky Top Farms, a 134-acre agricultural property in the heart of Northern Michigan’s farm country. Located in Ellsworth, just north of Torch Lake and east of Lake Michigan, this property sits within one of the region’s most recognized fruit-growing areas and carries the history, infrastructure, and flexibility to support a wide range of agricultural or business uses. Rocky Top Farms has been known for its cherry products, preserves, fruit butters, farm kitchen production, and Michigan-made wood products. The land has a strong agricultural background, previously used for cherry production and currently planted in corn. With 134 acres, the property offers scale, utility, and long-term potential for continued farming, specialty crop production, agritourism, food production, storage, or a private agricultural estate. At the center of the operation is the primary production barn, equipped with a walk-in freezer, offering valuable infrastructure for produce handling, cold storage, food processing support, or farm-based operations. A separate building provides additional flexibility with workshop space and office area, ideal for equipment maintenance, business administration, woodworking, storage, or future value-added farm uses. Rocky Top Farms has an established public identity, with its farm store, gourmet fruit products, and farm-kitchen cooked preserves tied to Northern Michigan’s agricultural reputation. This is more than vacant acreage. It is a working farm property with name recognition, functional buildings, production support, and room to adapt. Whether the next owner continues row crop production, reintroduces orchard use, expands specialty agriculture, develops a farm-market concept, or simply secures a substantial Northern Michigan landholding, Rocky Top Farms offers a foundation that is already in place.
