DescriptionShow

A truly exceptional offering on the shores of all-sports Rush Lake, this impeccably maintained and thoughtfully reimagined one-story walkout residence presents a rare convergence of architectural refinement, expansive waterfront, and resort-caliber outdoor living. Set across approximately two+ beautifully curated acres with an extraordinary 200 feet of private lake frontage, the property offers a level of space, privacy, and shoreline increasingly difficult to find on a recreational lake in Southwest Michigan. The residence has been extensively updated with an uncompromising attention to quality, craftsmanship, and timeless design. Soaring vaulted ceilings and walls of Pella windows and sliding doors draw natural light throughout the home while creating a seamless visual connection to the lake and surrounding landscape. Custom tile work, sophisticated finishes, and carefully considered architectural details lend a sense of understated elegance throughout. At the heart of the home, the beautifully appointed kitchen is designed equally for everyday living and effortless entertaining. Premium ZLINE and Sub-Zero appliances are complemented by custom HanStone quartz countertops, refined cabinetry, and exceptional finishes. A dedicated coffee bar and separate beverage center add another layer of convenience and sophistication, creating a space that feels both highly functional and distinctly luxurious. Beyond the interiors, the property unfolds as a private lakefront estate. Mature trees, expansive perennial gardens, lush lawn, and thoughtfully designed hardscaping frame the home and shoreline, creating an extraordinarily beautiful and established setting. A private beachfront and permanent dock provide effortless access to Rush Lake, while the property's five-hole putting green introduces an unexpected resort-style amenity just steps from the water. An impressive elevated deck extends the living experience outdoors, offering sweeping views across the grounds and lake. A grand stairway creates a dramatic transition from the deck to the waterfront landscape below, where an inviting fire pit provides an idyllic gathering place for evenings beneath the trees and along the shore. Rush Lake itself makes this offering particularly compelling. Its quieter, more relaxed character provides a welcome sense of serenity while still offering the recreation and freedom of an all-sports lake—boating, fishing, swimming, skiing, and days spent on the water without sacrificing the peaceful atmosphere that defines this remarkable property. The setting offers the best of the Southwest Michigan lifestyle—peaceful lakefront seclusion with convenient access to the charming lakeshore towns that make this region so sought after. Spend the day exploring distinctive boutiques and shoppes, celebrated restaurants, local wineries and farm markets, Lake Michigan beaches, and the relaxed coastal communities that stretch along the shoreline. It is a location that feels wonderfully removed while keeping the very best of Southwest Michigan within easy reach. Opportunities of this caliber are exceedingly rare: two+ acres, 200 feet of private frontage, permanent dockage, beachfront, extensive mature landscaping, exceptional outdoor amenities, and a beautifully updated residence—all within one extraordinary waterfront property. More than a lake home, this is a refined private retreat where architecture, landscape, recreation, and waterfront living come together effortlessly—a legacy property designed to be enjoyed for generations.
