    What's special

    Delightful Lake Michigan cottage- From the remodeled open floor plan to breathtaking sunset views from the deck overhanging the bluff, this cottage is truly unique. Located at the end of a quiet, dead end road, the cottage is nestled between 13 wooded acres, Lake Michigan, and miles of pristine Silver Lake sand dunes to the north. There is 61 foot of private Lake Michigan frontage. 30 steps to a sugar sand beach for walking, playing, swimming, boating and wind sports. A new retaining wall protects the bank from wave action. Inside, the efficient use of space makes room for family and friends. The open floor plan and many windows open up lake views and breezes into every room. A queen and twin bedroom down could easily convert to double and single sets of bunk beds for young children. Up is a private master suite and bath. The outdoor shower is super convinient. This cottage has been thoughtfully maintained by one owner for over 30 years. Recent updates include newer well and plumbing, remodeled kitchen and master bath, light fixtures and window treatments, roof and gutters, stained concrete patio, and new beach stairway and retaining wall. A 12x16 shed, blends with the cottage attractively and accommodates beach toys, yard tools and a workbench. The landscape hosts mature trees and flowering shrubs. Quality building materials have been used throughout: hickory hardwood and tile floors, cedar ceilings, quartz, granite and cement counters, Pella doors and windows, and a fieldstone fireplace. This specially designed wood burning fireplace surround heats the cottage. Enjoy all four seasons with heavy insulation and thermopane windows. Distinctive features include hand wrought iron trellis, cast sun on chimney, authentic ship's portholes, local shells in cement counter top, and Italian "hand" hardware in kitchen. The private setting, unique features, and turn key condition are a winning combination for this Golden Sands home. Located 1 hour and 15 minutes from Grand Rapids , MI.

This small private Association is a quiet spot perfect for relaxation and fun. Behind the home is the serenity of a mixed evergreen and hardwood forest. The property adjoins the south end of 3000 acre Silver Lake State Park, with 4 miles of sugar-fine sandy shoreline, 2000 acres of dunes, and acres of mature forest. The park is unique because of the 450 acre parcel on the north end, dedicated for off-road vehicles. Farms and fields blanket the area, providing local produce, meat, and dairy products. Cherry Point Farm and Mac Woods Dune Rides were just featured on the national news. Kite boarding is very popular, as the winds swing around the point by the lighthouse. Several golf courses dot the area. The towns of Hart and Pentwater are 20 minutes away and offer everything you need including restaurants, boutique shopping, wineries and local brews.
