Property Description
This charming property features a story book cottage with an in-ground concrete heated pool, custom gardens, and guest writer's studio. Starting the moment you enter the gated private drive, the property blends rolling Michigan dunes and old growth forest with an English country estate. As you approach the cottages, the cool dappled forest shade gives way to a warm and bright formal garden and pool. The main home and guest cottage anchor the central garden, creating a seamless and tranquil indoor/outdoor living experience. This private oasis is located in the heart of Saugatuck with Kalamazoo River on the East and Lake Michigan to the West. Located just minutes away from Oval Beach, Mount Baldhead Park, and downtown Saugatuck and Douglas, offering shopping, dining, and boating options. The main cottage features the kitchen and dining areas open to a 2 story brick fireplace and wood paneled walls and ceiling. Original wood brick floors add further rustic charm to the interior. Main floor bathroom and closets serve a lofted bedroom to finish out the space. Connected by the three season enclosed porch, this part of the main home features the main master, garage, and lofted guest bedrooms, as well as ample storage upstairs.
Across the garden, the tranquil Writer's studio cottage offers 270 degree views of the forest and abundant wildlife from its second story vantage. A Skylight and fireplace on the upper level with a great living area add to the entertaining space. Down the spiral staircase enjoy the ground floor's well maintained 8 person cedar sauna and gym space.
Enjoy a rare opportunity to own one of the most desirable pieces of property in Saugatuck. This impeccably set property is a study in delightful contradiction offering a private woodland getaway that feels miles away from anything, while only minutes from everything downtown has to offer, and private sunbathing while deep in the forest.
Travertine pool decking surrounds the pool, offering an inviting space to relax poolside. Recent updates include a new roof installed in 2007, some electrical upgrades, and pool equipment updates with Lankheet Pool & Spa, including the replacement of the pump and heater about three years ago. The pool is maintained with bromine. Lots to the north and south are also available for sale at $500,000 each. Pool age unknown.
Sellers purchase this home for its amazing private surroundings and land value in a highly desirable area. Sellers are now building a new home to the South and have split the parent parcel for more building opportunities or to be purchased with the existing home. A great opportunity to own your own slice of a private oasis in the heart of Saugatuck or to create your own private retreat.
Water not hooked up to writers' cottage but an additional bath should be able to be added . About $5,000 spent upgrading lights around poll, driveway and a few fixtures in the home.
