Private 20-Acre Lake Michigan Estate | 400' Bluff Frontage | Hot Tub | Sleeps 16
Welcome to one of the most rare and expansive private estates on Lake Michigan — set on 20+ secluded acres with over 400 feet of private bluff frontage, brand new furnishings throughout, and luxury amenities designed for unforgettable group experiences.
This is not a typical lake house. It is a private Northern Michigan estate — less than 2 minutes from the first tee at Arcadia Bluffs Golf Course, with Lake Michigan beach access at the end of Chamberlain Road, less than a minute from the property.
The Setting
Perched high above Lake Michigan, the property commands sweeping, unobstructed panoramic views across the water — the kind of wide-open horizon that cannot be replicated at ground level. Watch the sun sink into Lake Michigan from your own deck, hot tub, or fire pit every single evening.
The bluff position delivers something most waterfront properties cannot: total visual dominance of the lake with complete privacy. No neighbors in your sightlines. No noise. Just 20+ acres of rolling land, mature trees, and open sky above the water.
Beach access is just steps away. Chamberlain Road, less than a minute from the estate, leads directly to a quiet, uncrowded stretch of Lake Michigan shoreline — one of the most beautiful and unspoiled beaches on the entire lake. Park, walk to the water, and have it almost entirely to yourselves.
Designed for Groups — Sleeps 16
The home is thoughtfully configured to accommodate up to 16 guests across four bedrooms and multiple living spaces, with room to gather together or spread out independently.
Two master king suites
Additional queen and bunk configurations ideal for families with children
Expansive open-concept living and dining areas
Fully equipped chef's kitchen — built for group meals
Multiple indoor lounges and seating areas
High-end furnishings and finishes throughout
Whether you're hosting a multi-generational family reunion, a golf retreat, or a corporate off-site, the layout gives everyone space without sacrificing the sense of being together.
Outdoor Living
This property is defined by its outdoor experience — where most of your time will naturally be spent.
Outdoor hot tub with panoramic Lake Michigan views
Expansive deck overlooking the bluff and water
Fire pit with multiple outdoor seating areas
20+ acres of private grounds to explore
Unobstructed sunset views every evening directly from the property
Lake Michigan beach access less than a minute away via Chamberlain Road — swimming, sunsets, and shoreline walks whenever you want them
Morning coffee on the deck watching the lake. Afternoon at the beach on Chamberlain Road. Sunset from the hot tub. Late-night fire pit under open Northern Michigan skies. This is what people come back for.
