Lakefront Retreat on Priest Lake, a 36-acre no-wake lake perfectly suited for fishing, paddling, and pontoon boating. This 1,680 square foot, 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch sits on 0.48 acres with approximately 104 feet of water frontage, offering a rare combination of space, privacy, and natural beauty.
Built with extensive customizations, the home features 9-foot ceilings, extra windows to maximize the water views, sliding glass doors in the living room, and upgraded floors, sink, and appliances throughout. A wooden deck spans the length of most of the home and is accessible directly from both the living room and the primary bedroom, making waterfront living feel effortless every single day. The home sits on a cement poured crawl space and is equipped with a reverse osmosis drinking water system and water softener.
Step outside and the lakefront experience continues. A newer aluminum dock with a bench seat extends out to calm, no-wake water, and the natural shoreline 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.
