About This Home

A true refuge from the world awaits in this charming “fairy tale come to life” Hamill chalet, believed to be the first Hansel and Gretel home on the Schuss Mountain development. This well-built residence showcases classic Bavarian character with rounded doors and rooflines, exposed beams, custom hardware, and stained glass details. The open floor plan flows into a cozy, wool-carpeted family room anchored by a large wood-burning fireplace and striking wood mantel. The main level features a primary bedroom with en suite, while two additional bedrooms and a shared bath are located upstairs. Step outside to “The Shanty,” a 12x15 three-season retreat offering an additional room not included in the square footage. This screened porch offers the perfect setting for quiet mornings, afternoon reading or games, and relaxed evenings with music. Located just outside Swiss Village with no HOA, the property offers a peaceful, wooded setting. Enjoy a scenic one-mile walk near where the Cedar River meets Cedar River Drive, with frequent wildlife sightings including deer and porcupines. Being sold mostly furnished, this property presents an excellent opportunity for personal use or short-term rental potential. The oversized 28x24 garage provides ample room for vehicles and storage for golf, skiing, snowmobiles, and more. Situated on five acres with mineral rights included and one parcel split available. Located one mile from Schuss Mountain and Shanty Creek, a quick drive to Bellaire, and numerous lakes and trails are nearby.
