About this home
Welcome to your lake house! Sunsets, listening to the waves, feeling the sand between your toes, or simply lounging on the deck enjoying the serene view and wildlife, it's all yours for the taking in this contemporary ranch-style home. Operated as a successful year-round short-term rental and is being offered fully furnished. This extremely-well-cared for home sleeps 10 comfortably and is ready for you to enjoy on day one. Whether you're searching for a turnkey investment, a weekend escape, or a place to call home, this exceptional waterfront property offers incredible flexibility and value. Relax and make memories by your private inground pool, gaze at the stars from your hot tub, take in the striking panoramic view of North Grand Mere Lake and spectacular autumn colors from the dune-top vantage of your large wrap-around deck or luxuriate in long summer days sunbathing or swimming and celebrating endless sunsets from the 365' of deeded Lake Michigan beach access and seasonal wading stream just a short walk away. Relishing these experiences will remind you why this shoreline community, nestled between New Buffalo and St. Joseph remains one of Southwest Michigan's most desirable places to visit and live. As an added bonus, the sale includes a second parcel with 60' of frontage on North Grand Mere Lake, where exceptional fishing and kayaking awaits and where recreational structures such as a gazebo, deck, or dock could be added to enhance your ownership experience. Both parcels together equal just shy of 1 acre. Conveniently located 90 minutes from Chicago, north of New Buffalo and just a few minutes from the Grand Mere State Park nature preservation and hiking area, and Downtown St. Joseph, a multitude of charming shops, restaurants, wineries, micro-breweries and year-round recreation opportunities are all within reach. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a vacation home, or a proven income-producing property, this rare offering checks all the boxes. Whatever your goal, don't miss the chance to make this your Southwest Michigan lake house.
