The view is breathtaking! Nestled atop a professionally maintained grassy bluff you will be looking at a view of the Grand River that can’t be found anywhere else except the few properties along this stretch of the Grand River bend that ultimately leads right out to Lake Michigan. Sitting on your front wraparound deck overlooking the river bend, you can gaze across to the wildlife sanctuary. There you will see deer, cranes, one family of which returns every ear to nest and raise a new generation (the young ones are just so very cute!), swans also nesting and raising they young. In the Spring the bald eagles return to their nest located directly across from your deck where you can watch them continue to expand their nest every year, it’s massive!. You can also just relax sitting on any of the 4 decks that are available, one directly accessed from your master bedroom also overlooking the amazing riverbend view, the main deck that is partially covered and also has the expanded space for your outdoor patio furniture and grill, or the lower deck on top of the pump house directly by the rivers edge where you can also dock your boat and avoid the congestion and cost of any marina. The lawn is maintained by a private pump taking water directly from the river so there’s no need to use the costly city water supply which feed the main house and 2 completely separate and furnished cottages. Those cottages are currently rented for a significant income source, but could also just be used when combined with the main house and it attached separate apartment with it’s own access, to create a family compound with sufficient parking for up to 12 vehicles when including the 3 garage spaces. The main house and cottages have all had a number of upgrades over the past few years including furnace, A/C and water heater in the main house, new countertops and appliances and the cottages have been completely furnished all of which will remain with the property. You can look out any window of the main house and see the river but the most spectacular view is from the open main level where from the kitchen, dining and living areas the view is most breathtaking. The view out the side kitchen windows also brings in a most spectacular view of the side garden which is only outdone by the neighbors yard which is also visible from much of the property and has been affectionately called “Grand Haven Botanical Gardens”. The 3 bedrooms of the main house has actually been expanded to 4 with an additional full bath and complete kitchen and laundry when annexed as part of the house instead of a separate rentable apartment. This could also be used as an in-law apartment with direct access to the main house. Utilized as a separate rental along with the 2 furnished cottages the annual income could easily bring in $50,000 or more in revenue each year thus covering a significant mortgage payment, taxes and utilities or in effect allowing for almost cost free living!! So much to see, so much to talk about. Please give us a call to discuss any questions you may have or to schedule a showing although we will be requiring proof of ability to purchase as we are not desiring curious lookers who would just like to see the property to experience what is truly an amazing view of the Grand River and the wildlife sanctuary.
