This sensational 3.08-acre lakefront property with approximately 320' of lake frontage has breathtaking views of Lake Michigan from every room. The resort-like infinity-edge pool with a waterfall also includes a pool-side kitchen and full bath. On this property, accessing the lakefront is easy. No steep stairs or tram is needed here. The bluff has been contoured to provide a gradual, broad grassy switchback allowing for a comfortable walk or golf cart ride down to the lake level.

The resort-like infinity-edge pool with a waterfall also includes a pool-side kitchen and full bath. On this property, accessing the lakefront is easy. No steep stairs or tram is needed here. The bluff has been contoured to provide a gradual, broad grassy switchback allowing for a comfortable walk or golf cart ride down to the lake level. At the lake level is a boathouse unlike any other available on the North Shore, truly an incredible setup for entertaining. With over 3,000 square feet of space, it includes an Ipe wood roof deck above, two outdoor fireplaces, and stone patios. Inside, the entire east facade of sliding glass panoramic doors opens to the lake. Full kitchen, family room with fireplace, 2 baths. Room to store all your water toys, including sailboat, jet skies, kayak, and canoes. The main house is built to entertain with 6 bedrooms, 5.2 bathrooms, and an indoor pool with a water tunnel to the outdoor pool. Walking through the front door guests will experience unobstructed views of the lake. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, dining room, office, kitchen, and most bedrooms create a one-of-a-kind home to take in the beauty of Lake Michigan every day of the year. Other features include a large guest suite with its own living room and patio and a recently renovated garage with room for housing up to 6 cars. There's nothing like this property available on the lakefront!
