About this property

Luxurious and Private Lakefront Estate!

7 Bedrooms, 6 Bathrooms, Sleeps 16 (Main and Guest House)

Three Night Summer Minimum!

This one-of-a-kind estate boasts 450’ of azure, green lake Michigan frontage with breathtaking panoramic views.
This exceptional vintage property encapsulates the essence of a secluded paradise, with a remarkable 70% of its expanse encircled by the glistening waters of lake Michigan, a river, and Grand Mere Lake behind it, complete with exclusive gate access for utmost privacy.

As you wander through the gardens that embrace the entire 2.5-acre estate, a sense of serenity and seclusion washes over you. Privacy and opulence intertwine seamlessly with this completely renovated compound. Discover a world of lavishness within its walls, boasting seven bedrooms (two homes), six luxurious bathrooms, sleeping up to 16. Even an outdoor shower to indulge your senses. Watch magnificent sunsets, scenic skyscapes, birds, fish, wildlife and watercraft. Delight in the warmth of the 10-seat outdoor firepit or retreat to the screened-in porches offering breathtaking views of the waterfront.

Situated between the idyllic locales of New Buffalo and St. Joseph, you will find yourself perfectly positioned to savor the best of both worlds with exclusive privacy away from all the side-by-side homes of both cities. The estate's close proximity to Chicago, only a mile off the 94 exit, ensures ease of access from those seeking a respite from the bustling city life. It has been said that this home was once a stopover for the gangsters (Al Capone included) of the 1920’s prohibition period travelling from Chicago to Detroit.

All the amenities you would expect in a quality rental including a main & a guest house, lake views, internet, outdoor gas grill and firepit, a chef style stove and a Sub Zero refrigerator in the kitchen, washers/dryers in both homes, central heat/air, large screen TVs, and so much more!! This amazing home will be an experience like no other that you would want to return to year after year.

Unforgettable property

We had an unforgettable stay at this stunning lakefront property! The landscaping was immaculate, and the rooms were clean, bright, and incredibly spacious, perfect for our large group. Evenings were a highlight, with family dinners grilled on the deck, followed by campfires and stargazing under the clear night sky. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind and create lasting memories!

This is such a lovely property with picturesque views of Lake Michigan. The beautiful landscaping is unlike anything you have ever seen before! We had a wonderful long weekend reconnecting with family and watching amazing sunsets. The owner was so very helpful and answered all of my questions quickly. The description of the property is somewhat confusing as no beach access right from this property. However, the state park is nearby and we enjoyed the dunes and long walks on the beach.

Great Property, Misleading Description

The property is unbelievable. It is a beautiful house and in a beautiful location. The neighbors were not friendly. THE LISTING SAID BEACH ACCESS WHICH IT DID NOT HAVE. The cleanliness was a little lacking as there were dead bugs all over the house and under beds. Lastly, the internet access was trash.

I am sorry if they felt home was misrepresented. This home does have beach access nearby but DOES NOT have direct beach access. It is lakefront with just lake views. Gorgeous home inside and out!!

Lake house weekend

The property itself, the outdoor areas and the main house were incredible. An absolutely beautiful location and view. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, however, we did have a few challenges. The stove was broken the entire weekend and while the property manager reached out and sent someone to fix it the first day, the technician wasn’t able to and they never followed up when I let them know it was still broken. We also were informed that there were 2 propane tanks on the property and we showed up to 1 half filled tank. So there were challenges cooking the entire weekend. Neighbors were sensitive to large groups and noise.

Home is not meant for a party and after hours outdoor noise. Guests had issues with neighbors because they were partying past midnight when outdoor quiet hours begin at 10pm.

Wow! We used this property as a place to hold a reunion for ten college buddies who first met back in 1974. The property was spacious and the views of Lake Michigan were spectacular. The landscaping was next level. It is a private location…superb for our purposes.

The house and the surrounding grounds were absolutely beautiful! The house sits right on Lake Michigan with a clear 180 degree view of the lake. Sunsets are stunning from the lawn. We were disappointed to learn that the private beach access we were told was within walking distance of the property was NOT a useable beach. We made the best of the situation and were still able to enjoy the lake but beach access was a drive, rather than a walk away. The stunning views from the property helped to make up for the misrepresentation.

I wished they would have reached out. I think they went to the wrong area. There is a beach walking distance from the house that is sandy and beautiful.
