Unique architecture make this house perfect for its perch on a peninsula on Emerald Lake.
Spectacular views of the lake can be seen from every room. The living area of the house is a octagon structure, all glass on the front, with a guest bedrooms wing, a master bedroom wing, and a garage/storage wing.
A patio wraps around the front of the house. Huge oaks and pines offer shade and a breeze for perfect summer days. Hundreds of feet of private lake frontage offers space for lawn games and a sandy beach.
There is a dock for your boat and a canoe and paddleboat are there for your use. A hammock hangs in the oaks for a lazy afternoon, and a raft floats just off the shore for swimming fun. There's a fire pit for evening gatherings and marshmallows.
Emerald Lake is one in a chain of 4 lakes with clear, clean water. Exploring by boat or hiking is fun and an adventure. Lake Michigan Beaches are 45 minutes west. Grand Rapids with museums, a zoo, and great shopping is 45 minutes south.
Muskegon River, known for fly fishing, river rafting and canoe trips, is 5 minutes away.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2002
Jim and Prudy Vannier's favorite pastime is spending time at their cottage called "The Point". Jim owns Northville Gallery in Northville, Michigan, and Prudy is an artist who teaches her painting style around the world. Their love for art, for travel, and for family is seen throughout the cottage and grounds.
Why the Owner Chose Newaygo
Prudy grew up in the area so knew about this chain of lakes and what relatively unknown treasures they are. We bought a little cottage in 1987 on an adjoining lake, always watching for this particular one to go up on sale. Patience paid off, and when it went on the market in 2002, we snatched it up! How we love it there for family time with our four children, and now four children + spouses + grandchildren!
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
Get all of the benefits of a resort but none of the tourists and crowds. There are hiking trails as well as bike trails that go for miles around the area. There are charming little towns to explore with restaurants and antique shops. Emerald Lake boasts of a local chef and a private library where you can arrange a tea party. So much to do....or sit and relax, watching for an occasional eagle and reading a good book.
