Lake Michigan Retreat
A rare find: Charlevoix, Michigan! An exceptional Custom-Built 5-Bedroom, 3.5 Bath Estate nestled on a high bluff overlooking the pristine waters of Lake Michigan with a 2900+ acre State Park neighboring to the west & a 51 Acre Nature Preserve to the east, all in the midst of a 64-acre private property that includes a pond and secured storage for extra vehicle or boat.
Lavish landscaping surrounds the home, including a selection of mature trees, Annabelle hydrangeas, banks of rhododendrons, and many flowering perennials. A beautiful top-of-the-line quality home surrounded by nature and built with family in mind with exceptional flexible planning! Enjoy big family gatherings inside and out with space that easily flows onto the front and rear decks, or if you wish, onto the lawns! With multiple decks and views from every window, these vistas will only change with the seasons, never from additional development.
Greeting you as you enter the two-story Great Room is a wall of oversized windows overlooking Lake Michigan with second-story windows illuminating the upper and main level floors. The white Kitchen boasts an extra-large granite island, perfect for entertaining, stainless-steel appliances, coffee bar with sink, walk-in pantry, and bowed window wall breakfast area with doors to the rear deck. The Laundry and Mudroom are just off the Kitchen and include built-in shelving and storage. This home lends itself to first floor living, offering a spacious Primary Suite on the main level with deck access a spacious walk-in closet with built-in shelves and drawers. Also included are a gorgeous luxury spa bath with jetted tub, tiled oversized shower, separate commode, make-up area with unique jewelry cabinetry, and double vanity. There are also two flexible rooms on the main level perfect for music, library, office/study or den. The second floor boasts a catwalk overlooking the first floor with a view of Lake Michigan and provides access to 4 additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms.
The lower level is a walk-out, with a wall of windows, multiple deck access, stubbed for a full bath, and a large patio with access to upper decks and lower yard. There is plenty of room on this level for an additional fireplace, media room, kitchen/bar, hot tub, and play area. It is a blank canvas waiting for your finishing touches.
In addition to spectacular Lake Michigan views, privacy, and solace, this home offers an enjoyment of the finest of nature's offerings. Start your day enjoying your morning coffee with the sun rising across the fields. Hear the sounds of Sandhill cranes gliding in for a landing, watch the daily swoop of hawks and eagles, a parade of wild turkey, the seasonal migration of bluebirds that suddenly fill the trees, and the Canada geese flying directly overhead. Enjoy immediate access to miles of country roads on which to bike and minutes to kayaking or swimming in big lake waters. End your days with amazing Sun downs with family and friends, the incredible Milky Way arching across the sky, the powerful storm fronts moving across an ancient natural wonder, and the quaint historical town of Norwood.
Bonus: Over 10 Miles of biking trails from Norwood Township near the coastline through Fisherman's Island State Park.
15 miles to downtown Charlevoix, 10 Miles to Ellsworth, 25 miles to Belaire & Elk Rapids, 40 Miles to Traverse City & Traverse City Airport.
