Welcome to Beachin View Villa! Perfectly situated directly on a 4+ acre Lake Michigan frontage lot. This three bedroom home has 183 feet of Private sandy beach. The amazing views are some of the most unique you'll ever see as this extensively custom engineered home is literally built at the peak of one of the highest dunes in the area. With an elevation approaching 100 feet, and virtually no trees to obstruct your view, you can see for greater than 10 miles and nearly 180 degrees of blue Lake Michigan waters without even stepping outside. No need to lower the window treatments and block out the breathtaking views of this extremely private location as it is located in the exclusive, safe and gated North Gray Dunes Association. Catch a glimpse of shipping freighters as they pass by in the distance while enjoying a cup of coffee, espresso, cappuccino or cafe' latte (coffee maker, espresso machine and coffee bean grinder supplied). Watch your children as they play on the beach below or play on the private swing set just steps away from the water's edge.
Enjoy a competitive game of sand volleyball on the extensive soft, sandy beachfront. Play a bit of catch with a baseball and glove or toss a frisbee with family members while barefoot on the beach. Walk for miles along the beach while framed by a beautiful picturesque Lake Michigan backdrop. Enjoy a peaceful paddle along the shoreline in the two supplied kayaks. Turn a keen eye to the sky and the tree tops, and you just may spot one of the local American Bald Eagles searching the waters for food to feed their young. Recall simpler days as you reconnect with family members over a board game in the luxurious, view filled, four season room. Pitch a tent up on the beach for the kids to enjoy an evening at a private lakeside campsite. Relax with a glass of wine as you witness some of the most amazing sunsets you'll ever see. Enjoy smores cooked over the fire pit, or observe planets and other views of the universe through the provided electronic drive and computer controlled Meade telescope with some of the darkest skies Michigan has to offer. This is the perfect private beach retreat. The ultimate peaceful seclusion of a truly private beach retreat with full access to connect with loved ones or work via the new Fiber Optic 1000 mb/sec ultrafast internet added September 2021.
