An Exceptional Estate. A Lifestyle of Your Own. Some properties are defined by their setting. Others by their architecture. This exceptional estate brings the two together in a way that is truly distinctive. The arrival is part of the experience. A paved driveway lined with mature apple trees leads to beautifully established grounds, where award-winning landscaping, a tranquil pond, a charming gazebo, mature trees and thoughtfully planted gardens create a private, picturesque setting. This is country living with a level of refinement that goes well beyond the ordinary. Step inside, and the impression continues. A dramatic two-story foyer welcomes you into a home filled with character, warmth and sophistication. The thoughtfully designed, multi-level floor plan balances generous gathering spaces with more intimate retreats, offering remarkable flexibility for the way you choose to live. The main level is designed for comfortable everyday living and gracious entertaining. A spacious great room with a formal dining area creates a welcoming centerpiece, complemented by two bedrooms, two full baths, a lovely enclosed porch, a renovated kitchen, main-floor laundry, a butler's pantry and an attached two-stall garage. Upstairs, soaring ceilings and abundant natural light create an airy, inviting atmosphere. The spacious primary suite features its own sitting area and full bath, while an additional sitting room provides a comfortable place to unwind. A convenient kitchenette adds to the appeal of this level, making it ideal for quiet mornings, evening relaxation or extended stays. The walkout lower level adds another dimension to the home's versatility, offering a comfortable living area, office space, a full bath, a fourth bedroom tucked into a cozy alcove, and its own kitchen and laundry facilities. Whether used for extended guests, multigenerational living, hobbies or a dedicated workspace, this level provides valuable additional living space that adapts to changing needs. Beyond the home, the substantial barn and stable area offer an opportunity to embrace an equestrian lifestyle, while the beautifully landscaped grounds are equally appealing to those who simply appreciate nature, privacy and outdoor living. You don't need to own a horse to appreciate all this property has to offer. Perhaps you envision an exceptional year-round residence. Maybe you are searching for a special getaway near Lake Michigan. Or perhaps an equestrian estate has always been your dream. Here, you have the space, character and flexibility to make the property your own. With Lake Michigan, Hutchins Lake, and the popular communities of Saugatuck and Douglas just a short drive away, you can enjoy the peacefulness of an established estate while remaining close to beaches, boating, dining, galleries, wineries and the charm of Southwest Michigan. More than a home in the country, this is a distinctive estate offering sophisticated living, extraordinary grounds and the freedom to create a lifestyle uniquely your own.
