About This Home

As of August 2026

There is something timeless about waking to the first light over Lake Michigan. Nestled on one acre of peaceful woodlands along the sandy shoreline of Wicklow Beach, this inviting four-bedroom, two-bath ranch home offers 100 feet of private sandy Lake Michigan frontage and a place where mornings begin with coffee on the deck, afternoons drift by with the sound of gentle waves, and evenings end beside a crackling fire. A wall of lakeside windows fills the home with natural light while framing breathtaking sunrise views across the turquoise waters. The spacious deck stretches nearly the length of the home, inviting you to linger over summer meals, watch boats pass in the distance, or simply breathe in the fresh island air. Inside, the stone fireplace anchors the living room with warmth and character, creating the perfect gathering place after a day on the beach. At the back of the home, a generous three-season porch offers a quiet retreat - ideal for afternoon naps, working on a favorite puzzle, reading a well-loved book, or simply listening to the breeze through the trees. Just down the drive, a 36' x 48' pole barn provides exceptional flexibility with oversized doors for boat or RV storage, a concrete floor, electricity, and abundant space for projects, hobbies, or equipment. A finished room near the entrance, previously used as a pottery studio, offers inspiring space for artists, craftspeople, or anyone seeking a creative retreat. A few maintenance notes - New roof installed in 2014 by Coffell Construction, new drain field installed by Jim Wojan, & wood pellet stove insert in fireplace. Home is insulated and could be used as a year round residence. Whether you're looking for a year-round home, a family gathering place, or a peaceful waterfront escape, this Wicklow Beach property captures the simple beauty and unhurried pace that make Beaver Island such an extraordinary place to call home.
