Leelanau is a beautiful place with a ideal micro climate for farming , I think you ll enjoy the area once you settle in .. A mass of tourism waves will be the biggest drought reason there lol .. Enjoy the new home and land as it is rich in history . In fact our oral traditions say that it was originally Ottawa Indian land until a Ottawa warrior killed an Ojibwa brother fishing in the waters there . There families along with the Ogemaw ( leaders ) held a council meeting and under a act of peace the Ojibwa were welcomed to the land to reside amongst the band already present there .. Hence the town of Peshabe and the Grand Traverse Bay Ottawa/Chippewa tribe
