About This Home

Established Turn Key South Haven Short-Term Rental | $150K+ Projected Revenue for 2025.

Welcome to 45 Blue Star Hwy, a premier property just outside downtown South Haven, offering a rare blend of privacy, luxury, and profitability. Located in Casco Township, which is very short-term rental friendly, this furnished home comes with a transferable rental permit and a strong history of success, with $150,000 in projected gross revenue for 2025 and bookings already secured well into next year.

Built in 2017, this spacious 6-7 bedroom, 3.5 bath executive-style retreat offers 3,300 sq ft of modern living space designed for entertaining, relaxing, and making memories. Set back from the road and surrounded by woods, enjoy privacy and an ''Up North'' feel, yet close to beaches/downtown. The home features a fully stocked kitchen with quartz countertops, a large island, and an open-concept layout perfect for large groups. With room to sleep many guests (including a main level bedroom/den!), it has become a go-to destination for family reunions, retreats, and group getaways.

Upstairs, the home features 4 beautifully appointed bedrooms, including a private primary suite with a king bed and ensuite bath including soaking tub, another king bedroom, and two additional queen rooms with another full bath. Laundry room is also on 2nd level. The main level includes a queen Murphy bed in a private bedroom/den, a futon for extra sleeping space, a queen sleeper sofa in the living room, large mudroom, and a convenient half bath. The finished lower level adds even more space, with two bedrooms, one that sleeps 4 and another that sleeps 6 with full-sized lower bunks, a full bathroom with stand-up shower, and a game room complete with ping pong and another futon for additional guests. Large storage/utility room can be an owner lock off for personal items.

Outdoor amenities include a private saltwater hot tub, a large back deck overlooking the yard and a wooded ravine, a firepit for s'mores under the stars, and a grilling area for outdoor dining. Plenty of space for a pool, which could add considerable value/revenue! There is also generous parking space, making it ideal for hosting large groups.

Perfectly located on over an acre, just minutes from multiple public beaches on the sandy shores of Lake Michigan, with a paved golf cart/bike path to Newcome beach across the street on Baseline Rd. Walk to the Kal-Haven Trail State Park which winds along the Black River and through forests for over 30 miles. The shops, restaurants, and marinas of downtown South Haven are 3 minutes by car and Meijer is 2 minutes.

This home truly offers the best of lakeshore living with a strong return on investment. Most weekends are already booked through the year, with high occupancy through the Fall and into Winter. 2024 had 131 nights booked and total revenue of $130,000. Prices were raised in 2025, with $150,000 in revenue expected. 12 Nights booked in 2026 so far are $1298/night.

Whether you are seeking a personal retreat, a lucrative short-term rental, or both, 45 Blue Star Highway is a rare opportunity to own a newer, low maintenance, fully furnished, high-performing property in a prime Southwest Michigan location. The proven revenue stream makes this an incredible value and high cap rate, a solid income producing investment for years to come!
