With nearly 200 feet of private and pristine Lake Michigan frontage, this splendid beach house, nestled within nearly seven wooded acres, showcases striking lake views and amazing seclusion. The shoreline is just steps to an exceptional sandy beach. So many new upgrades in last 9 years including entire 2nd floor, entire lower level, geothermal/wood burning furnace and so much more. Being sold turn-key...move right in! Also could make a great rental investment. This home is thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and gathering, and features ample room for guests. Outdoor living takes center stage, with multiple decks, a 20' x 12' screened porch, and a firepit perfect for cool lakeside evenings. Inside strikes a balance between comfort and elegance. Granite and marble finishes elevate the kitchen and baths, while the overall design maintains a relaxed charm. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with its own bath, walk-in closet, and tranquil lake views & balcony. The walkout lower level expands the home's versatility, complete with a family room, two bedrooms, a full bath, as well as a convenient kitchenette. Whether envisioned as a private getaway or a legacy property to be shared for generations, this Lake Michigan retreat delivers an extraordinary coastal lifestyle in one of the region's most sought-after settings.
