High on the hill overlooking beautiful Garden Bay on Lake Michigan sits this one-of-a-kind custom home, built in 2012. Thoughtfully designed with an open-concept kitchen and living area, the main floor features a private master suite with gorgeous lake views, a walk-through closet, and a full bath. A second full bath and main floor laundry add convenience, while a sliding door from the dining area leads to an elevated 10' x 38' covered deck with sweeping sunset views over the bay. Although currently listed as a four-bedroom, the layout offers excellent flexibility—with a few modifications, the home could accommodate up to five bedrooms. The fully finished walkout basement offers a peaceful retreat and includes two rooms currently being used as bedrooms or flex space (without egress), along with a third full bath. Step into the attached two-car garage and you’ll find a unique bonus—it doubles as a secondary kitchen space, perfect for large gatherings or processing the day’s catch. Above the garage, an impressive bonus room awaits, complete with a wet bar, half bath, and stunning elevated views, ideal for entertaining or relaxing. Quality craftsmanship is evident throughout, and recent updates include a new furnace and heat pump/AC unit, both installed in 2025. Prefer a bit more privacy? Head to the 8' x 36' covered front porch overlooking a brick patio, or unwind on the 8' x 36' concrete patio off the walkout level. The property includes several outbuildings, including a 36' x 28' heated garage with an attached lean-to, and even an 8' x 8' deer blind with electricity. The beautifully landscaped grounds feature a mix of balsam, spruce, maple, birch, cedar, and over 55 apple trees. Garden Bay is protected from most prevailing winds, making it an ideal spot for boating, fishing, and water sports. If you’ve ever visited The Dock Grill & Bar or stayed at the Bay Ridge RV Park, you’ve already admired the view over Garden Bay. This is a truly must-see property—the combination of quality construction, functional space, incredible views, and peaceful setting make it an exceptional and rare opportunity.
