About This Property

Find your Zen and experience the quiet healing power of nature less than an hour from either city. This beautiful 3 Bed/2 Bath spacious, modern home offers a one-of-a kind immersion in natural fall and winter beauty, with soaring 15 foot windows overlooking a full acre of wooded dunes in a park-like setting less than two blocks from the beach. The only sounds you’ll hear are birds, rustling leaves, and the waves of Lake Michigan. This three bedroom, two full bath modern, well equipped fall and winter retreat is surrounded by the nation’s newest national park to the east and west, and Lake Michigan to the north. You will enjoy 15 ft. tall windows with a spectacular view, modern kitchen, open living space, stone fire pit under the trees, romantic Jacuzzi, two porches, family room with 80 inch smart tv, and a beautiful wood burning fireplace to warm a winter’s night with cocoa or cognac. There is also a large desk and excellent internet access for those times you have to work. Check out the extensive art collection from mostly local artists. Miller Beach’s two oldest restaurants (with great Lake perch, steaks, and chops!) are walkable- less than a block away! Bring the pups and let them run free through an acre of private woods. Bring your hiking boots or snow skis: Miller Woods and Douglas Dunes- part of the nation’s newest national park- offer groomed trails and cross country ski rentals, and their well-kept nature trails delight birdwatchers of all seasons. Paddle kayaks surrounded by fall colors on an extensive lagoon waterway, with an accessible public launch at historic Marquette Park. Experience a moonlight hike along the ridge of West Beach trail, one of over twenty nature trails traversing spectacular dunes and ethereal moonscapes. Enjoy paved bike trails along Lake Michigan, through the dunes, and explore history at the Aquatorium and Chanute trail commemorating early history of modern flight and contributions of the Tuskeegee airmen- the first Black military aviators in the US Army Air Corps credited with turning WWII. You’ll leave feeling refreshed, enriched, and grounded the way nature intended.
