The lakeshore without the lakeshore price
Nunica sits in Crockery Township in northern Ottawa County, near the junction of I-96, M-104, and M-231, with Crockery Creek and the Grand River flats nearby. Its appeal is location: a buyer here gets acreage, woods, and a quiet country setting while sitting just minutes from Spring Lake and Grand Haven and a straight shot to Grand Rapids or Muskegon. The listings run from affordable in-town homes to acreage and country properties. The whole pitch of a Nunica home is what surrounds it and what it is close to — the land, the setting, and the lakeshore right down the road — and none of that comes through in a phone photo of the kitchen.
Elzinga Creative Studio is built for that. FAA Part 107 drone aerials that show the lot and the lakeshore-adjacent location, bright HDR interiors that hold the view out every window, and real twilight when a home earns it. Every gallery is delivered within 24 hours, so a Nunica listing can go live the day after the shoot.
Pricing for Nunica listings
A standard home does well on Essential ($245). For an acreage or creek-side property, add a $125 drone aerial to show the land, or step up to Showcase ($375). A 3D virtual tour (Zillow 3D Home or Matterport-style) is a $100 add-on to any tier. See full breakdown.
What we shoot in Nunica
- Acreage and country properties — drone aerials that show the lot, the woods, the creek, and how the property sits
- Lakeshore-gateway homes — coverage that makes the quick reach to Spring Lake and Grand Haven part of the story
- Hobby farms and larger parcels — aerials that treat the outbuildings and the land as the selling features they are
- Affordable in-town homes — bright, clean HDR sets for homes in and around Nunica
- New and renovated builds — full HDR coverage that justifies the price on an updated lakeshore-edge listing
Drone sells the setting and the location
On a Nunica listing, the drone aerial does double duty. It shows the property itself — the lot size, the outbuildings, the woods or creek — and it shows the thing buyers really care about here: how close the home sits to the lakeshore and the highways. An aerial that puts the property in its setting is often the image that makes a buyer realize they can have land and the coast within minutes. See the guide to real estate drone photography; every flight is by an FAA Part 107 certified pilot.
Interiors still have to hold the view
A country home near the lakeshore lives on its light and its windows. Shoot the interior flat and the windows blow out, hiding the woods, the creek, or the yard that is part of the home's appeal. Proper HDR holds both the bright room and the view through the glass, and keeps the natural light honest. That is the difference between a listing that feels like a country home and one that looks like any house.
