Motivated by an upcoming purchase deadline, the seller has priced this home aggressively for immediate attention by 9-25-25. Positioned for panoramic Lake Michigan views on a private wooded bluff with 187 feet of frontage, this architect-designed retreat offers the perfect blend of privacy, craftsmanship, and natural beauty. Tucked away on over 10 acres and accessed by a gated drive, this 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath home spans more than 5,500 square feet and captures jaw-dropping, west-facing views from nearly every room. Elevated living at its finest. Inside, the great room stuns with a two-story wall of windows framing endless lake and sunset views. A floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, crafted with stone sourced from the property, anchors the space. The chef's kitchen is open and inviting with custom cabinetry, informal dining, and lake views that turn every meal into a moment.

Supplements: Brazilian cherry floors and handmade Mexican tile run throughout the main level, while a formal dining room trimmed in cherry wood adds a touch of classic warmth. The main-level primary suite is its own sanctuary, complete with a spa-like bath featuring glass-wrapped tile, a walk-in shower, and a soaking tub. Every bedroom offers views of the lake, and the lower-level guest suite feels like a private retreat, surrounded by picture windows and natural light. And while it feels worlds away, you'll still enjoy the convenience of high-speed fiber internet and natural gas  ideal for working remotely or staying connected without giving up that off-the-grid feeling. Outdoors, an expansive deck and large lawn make entertaining easy, while the surrounding woods invite exploration. A 40'x80' insulated pole barn offers ample space for your outdoor pursuits and personal collections. Whether you're hosting guests or escaping it all, the setting offers absolute privacy with effortless access to the best of Northern Michigan  from Arcadia Bluffs' destination golf and four-season fun at Crystal Mountain to the trails of Sleeping Bear Dunes, world-class trout streams, and pristine beaches. This is Pure Michigan living at its finest.
