About This Home

As of January 2024

Nearly 400 feet of prime water frontage, and 2.7 acres of highly sought after Saugatuck land, this is truly the finest and most iconic remaining property on the water. 180-degree views both up and down river, as well as the beauty of your protected view across river of the Oxbow property, the location is ideal and just a short distance to downtown Saugatuck where you'll enjoy shops, restaurants, and entertainment that has drawn visitors to the area for decades. Upon pulling up to the estate on your circle driveway, you'll find the main home, a detached garage and separate carriage house. Entering this historic home, you will immediately be taken back to the rich history of the property, once a vibrant artist retreat, and was a major influence in Saugatuck becoming what is now known as the "Art Coast." You will be stunned by the history and character throughout, with the original moldings, and rich décor, as well as the vintage tilework in the bathrooms. This only continues as you explore the main and upper-level living areas with original historic flooring, vanities, baths and wallpaper. One of the most unique features, however, is the rumored underground tunnel which leads to more exciting views you will not see in any other property in the area, and features a full studio, complete with a second kitchen, spa-like bathroom with a sauna, and a lakeside deck overlooking the rarely seen boathouse. The reinforced steel seawall lines the entire length of the waterfront for maximum bluff protection, and docking for multiple boats makes this a water enthusiast's dream!
