6650 Pine Lane Sawyer MI 49125 MLS #26040734

Hidden along private Pine Lane on the Lake Michigan side of Red Arrow Highway, this charming Sawyer beach house offers a combination buyers rarely find: more than half an acre of wooded privacy, a spring fed stream bordering the property and Lake Michigan just minutes away. Set on 0.52 acre, this home is surrounded by mature trees, flowering gardens, butterfly bushes and abundant wildlife. The house feels completely immersed in nature, yet remains close to the beaches, restaurants and destinations that make Harbor Country one of the Midwest’s most sought after locations. Equally suited as a year round home or a weekend escape, it offers the peace of a secluded retreat without sacrificing access to everyday conveniences. Inside, every inch of the home has been thoughtfully designed. Custom cherry windows frame the woods like artwork, while wood floors, marble, soapstone and slate finishes and a dramatic spiral staircase give the main level warmth and personality. The kitchen features custom cherry cabinetry, stone surfaces and open shelving, with windows that bring the surrounding landscape indoors. Upstairs, both bedrooms feature vaulted wood ceilings and peaceful treetop views. The full bath is equally memorable, with a clawfoot soaking tub, pedestal sink and classic black and white marble flooring. These architectural details give the home its unmistakable character and separate it from more ordinary properties in this price range. The outdoor living is exceptional. A substantial screened in porch provides generous space for living, dining or even warm weather sleeping quarters. Two decks create separate settings for morning coffee, afternoon sun and evening cocktails. After a day at Lake Michigan, rinse off in the outdoor shower while looking up at the trees and stars. A fire pit, spring fed stream, gardens and designated seating areas invite you to spend as much time outside as in. New mechanicals provide peace of mind, while the basement offers plenty of space to store bicycles, canoes, kayaks and beach gear. A separate storage shed provides additional room for gardening tools and outdoor equipment. Warren Dunes State Park and three miles of sandy Lake Michigan shoreline are nearby, along with Susan’s, Infusco Coffee Roasters, Sawyer Home and Garden Center, Granor Farm, Journeyman Distillery and The Acorn. Approximately 90 minutes from Chicago, this private Sawyer retreat delivers the complete Southwest Michigan experience: woods, water, gardens, beach days and endless peace. Properties with this setting and personality are difficult to duplicate.
