Bay Harbor Fact Sheet

Historic Information

For more than 100 years, these 1,200 acres of prime, lakefront land had been home to a massive cement plant and mining operation. After the operation closed, developer David V. Johnson saw the vast potential of the property and found a way to bring his dream of developing the most luxurious residential community on earth right here. In fact, his dream translated into the largest land reclamation project in North America, beginning on July 12, 1994, when the cement plant was demolished, with Governor John Engler and thousands of onlookers in attendance. The project’s second phase occurred in 1995, when the barrier between Lake Michigan and the quarry was

blown away, letting 2.5 billion gallons of water rush in to form Bay Harbor Lake—an amazing new nautical locale for the Great Lakes.

Today, Bay Harbor is one of the Great Lakes’ most exclusive resort areas, offering a deep-water marina, a premier yacht club, championship golf courses, exclusive restaurants and boutiques and first-class lodging options. There are 33 distinct, upscale neighborhoods offering homebuyers a wide spectrum of sizes, styles, locations, lifestyles, and budgets. Visitors now flock to this spectacularly beautiful town on Little Traverse Bay and residents are proud to call Bay Harbor home.

“The beauty of Bay Harbor speaks for itself. Long summer nights with gorgeous sunsets, autumn colors or the look of a fresh snowfall all have their unique appeal. But what we enjoy most is the people. We have great friends whom we get together with often — on the golf course, at the Yacht Club, or at someone’s home.”Bob Walker, Past BHYC Commodore

“We always say that this is like this ‘little pillow of perfection.’ Now we’ve had families that have come and stayed with us, who are now Members. So that’s really fun to merge those two worlds. Whether it’s new families that we met up here–some of our best friends and my closest friends now are the families up here. And now they come from all over–some who are year-round up here.

They talk about how when they grew up here there were very few children, and now it’s like a complete switch.

There’s always something to do.”Brett

Mumy

“In terms of wine and wine tasting here at the Club, we are spoiled. We have had some fantastic vintners visit us here. We have an Adobe Road, Fisher Family (Fred Fisher came himself for the tasting) and Reilly Keenan from the Keenan Vineyards. These are pretty big-name Napa guys and gals. If I can’t make one, I’m upset that I can’t make it. They are fantastic.” - Bruce Barron

“We considered membership at BHYC for several years, however our tipping point happened to be when the Club had completed a comprehensive remodel. The facility is one of the best ones I have ever seen!” - Scott
