Supplements
with a wildflower field out back has been thoughtfully maintained like a nature preserve. A cut flower garden gives you the ability to bring the beauty inside with fresh bouquets all season long. Growing on a hillside, the wildflowers protect against erosion while attracting incredible wildlife year round. The oversized pole barn with electric hookups offers covered parking and storage large enough to house a pontoon boat, a rare bonus on a lake lot of this size.
The property carries genuine family roots. The land has been in the family for over 33 years. The seller's grandfather was the first to call it home, and when the property passed to her father he added the dock and used the property for lake access and storage. When the land passed to the current owners, they removed the existing structure and built a brand new custom home in its place, lovingly maintained for the past six years. No HOA. A quiet, privately owned road with well-kept neighboring homes. And a west-facing lot delivering what the owners call the BEST sunsets on the lake.
The owners hope to find a buyer who will love and preserve the nature and wildlife that make Priest Lake so special. Boating, bird watching, star gazing, and front-row sunset views await. Come see it for yourself.
Located in Southwest Michigan near the Sister Lakes region, just minutes from the Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail and under two hours from Chicago.
