About This Home
As of June 2015Imagine family living on the lake, with bonfires, fishing, water skiing and spending your free time away from work with family and friends at your little piece of paradise on 660 acre Pine Lake! Less than 45 minutes from Kalamazoo/Portage, Grand Rapids and just 2.5 hours from Chicago, this awesome year-round 1,600 sq ft ranch includes 80ft of flat frontage, a great backyard and patio for gatherings, 3 BR and 1.5 baths, incl an updated bath w/ redwood sauna. This great lakefront home includes a huge vaulted great room with oversized windows that offer magnificent views of Pine Lake. Open kitchen with all appliances and, again, amazing views! Unique in this category is a usable, dry basement and a 2-story detached garage that includes commercial-grade 3-phase electrical. It would act as a terrific work or woodworking shop or studio. It is heated, insulated and includes a handy half bath! Pine Lake offers 660 acres, a friendly voluntary association that conducts 4th of July fireworks, parades and community garage sales, and offers some of the very best bass, blue gill, crappie and pike fishing in SW Michigan. This property has been meticulously maintained by the same family for decades. It is ready to offer the next generation of owners a lifetime of memories!
