Who is developing Pine Pond Homes?

Sky Resorts, a sister company to Manthei Construction and Manthei Veneer, is owned and operated by the same Manthei family that’s been working in Northern Michigan for 75 years. Our experience managing communities in California and Arizona has given us the expertise to bring an affordable and attractive manufactured home community to Petoskey.

Who owns the property at Pine Pond?

While you own your own home, the land is retained by the Pine Pond Development, which contributes to offsetting the total cost of the home.

The land lease fee is similar to an HOA fee with the added benefit of significantly reducing property taxes especially for those who claim Pine Pond as their homestead.

In addition to property tax reduction, the land lease protects the value of your home by ensuring regular maintenance of all property amenities and includes a front yard care package, minimizing the time you need to spend on your front yard.

What makes the homes at Pine Pond so affordable?

In addition to costs being offset by the land being retained by Pine Pond, the neighborhood is composed of innovative manufactured homes, designed and landscaped with your needs in mind: the affordability of these homes, with attractive amenities and community features, on Petoskey’s newest “lakefront”!

What is this type of housing?

These homes take the quality, durability, and safety features of affordable factory-built housing and upgrade them with site-specific features. Pine Pond’s innovative manufactured housing, built on a permanent foundation with pitched roofing, front and back porches, and garages, are nearly indistinguishable in quality and appearance from conventional site-built homes.

What is included in the monthly land lease?

The monthly land lease includes a variety of benefits including access to the Pine Pond beach and lake area, a front yard care package, main road snow removal and road maintenance.

More resident amenities will be built over the next couple of years including the clubhouse, dog park, tennis/pickleball/basketball court, walking trails and more!
