About this property

Look no further, this location has it all, including private boat launch

Enjoy an amazing sense of privacy in this spacious home located just a few yards off the Muskegon River and just moments away from everything. One of only two homes located on a boat launch off the causeway between Muskegon and North Muskegon, you can quickly access 4 bodies of water via watercraft with the private dock or vehicle - the Muskegon River, Muskegon Lake, Bear Lake and Lake Michigan. Hunting and fishing abound. This is the first area to offer access to open water in the spring as the Muskegon River rarely freezes over. Wildlife frequent the area and we often see Blue Herons fly by, the occasional eagle and fox as well! The seawall running along the home is a favorite sunning spot for turtles, and dear enjoy nibbling on the hostas if they can! All this is just moments from major area highways.
The spacious second story living area includes a large comfortable sectional and gas fireplace in a great, open living room. The recently remodeled eat in kitchen and dining room, with access to the second story deck for al fresco dining, offers the unique ability to see both beautiful sunrises over the Muskegon River flats or gorgeous sunsets over Muskegon Lake. Two spacious bedrooms, a full laundry and large bathroom with separate shower and whirlpool tub complete the level.
The downstairs includes an attached garage with a large open rec room with tv viewing and gaming areas along with a bar and separate fridge. There are sliders to the backyard with fire-pit and deck just a few feet from the river. A pellet stove keeps it warm and cozy in the winter.
The Bike Trail located across the street offers a beautiful trail running along the water and through downtown all the way to the sugar sand of Pere Marquette Beach. The River House is located 8 Miles from Pere Marquette, 6 Miles from North Muskegon State Park, 5.5 Miles from the historic North Muskegon Blockhouse, 6 Miles from Michigan’s Adventure Amusement Park and 7.5 Miles from the Winter Sports Complex which offers lighted skating and cross-country ski trails as well as a full-scale luge! Visit the Historic LST Landing ship in downtown Muskegon, Tour the Hackley House, an immaculately restored Lumber Baron's home, or check out an actual World War II Submarine and maritime museum, the Silversides, located on the channel separating Muskegon Lake from Lake Michigan. While you are there you might catch a glimpse of a 1000-foot freighter passing through. There are multiple festivals to attend, including the wildly popular Muskegon Bike Time, Irish Music Festival, and the family friendly Unity Christian Music Festival to name a few. You even have several museums to explore. A Miniature Golf Course and GoKart facility which also rents Kayaks is within walking distance. Downtown Muskegon is home to three craft breweries - Pigeon Hill, Unruly Brewing Company and the newly added Rake Beer Project in addition to numerous bars and restaurants.

Beautiful home
We had such a great time with our three little girls plus our puppy. We spent as much time as the weather would permit on the boat and fished to our families content. Gregg and Tracy were very helpful and sweet. We would definitely recommend staying here.
