Summer Paradise: The patio off the kitchen/dining/family room area includes a dining table for 8 plus an outdoor living room. Enjoy the fire pit, river views and bird-watching in the back yard, outdoor games, all secluded in the middle of the woods but just a short drive to the beach and town. Deer, turkeys and other wildlife roam the property. A short drive from the property are multiple winery tasting rooms, a golf course, a beachfront Lake Michigan park, and a pumpkin patch with hay rides for autumn guests.

Winter Wonderland: Enjoy the views of snow on the evergreen trees in the winter. The house has two furnaces and a fireplace, and is quite cozy and warm in the winter. The nearby Kal-Haven trail is great for cross country skiing.

This is a special property - a custom  California Contemporary home on 20 wooded acres with many hardwood and evergreen  trees and a lush lawn, surrounded by woods and farmland. It is very private and quiet, with amazing views of the night sky, but is just a short drive from many area attractions and the towns of South Haven, Fennville and Saugatuck/Douglas. Plenty of parking!
