Why they chose this property
Union Pier is a charming lakeside retreat nestled along the shores of Lake Michigan. It's known for its laid-back atmosphere and stunning natural beauty, offering a delightful escape for visitors.
What makes this property unique
Short walk to one of the best beaches in SW Michigan! While McKinley beach is open to the public, it has the exclusivity of a private beach due to the location. The property is 2 lots with a huge fenced-in private backyard, the perfect outdoor paradise for families and pets alike!
