About This Home

As of August 2022

Across the street from New Buffalo City Beach, only a block from downtown, and sitting right on the Galien River is your new home. This beautifully appointed 3br condo includes a 40' boat slip right across the lawn from your back porch overlooking the river and preserve. The gated community offers seclusion in the heart of everything. This quiet end unit features Wolf, Bosh and KitchenAid appliances, custom cabinets, granite counters in the kitchen, hardwood floors throughout, and a beautiful custom fireplace. Cool off in the association swimming pool when you're done boating, kayaking, or paddle boarding, or head across the street and watch the sunset over Lake Michigan.
