Property Details

Description

Simply one of the best lake-front properties to reach the market in years, “Windwood” is positioned and established as a family compound at the core of the world’s finest resort area. The 8 acre parcel boasts 251’ of prime frontage on the west shore of Lake Charlevoix’s well-known Oyster Bay. Designed by renown Charlevoix architect Jack Begrow as a lake house in the woods, the home is perched on a shallow bluff 87’ back from the water’s edge, nestled within a grove of mature hardwoods. Each room offers generous proportions and is designed to maximize the breathtaking sunrise views that peek through native cedars. The high ceiling “great room” seamlessly blends cooking, dining and seating where dramatic views of forest, sky and water compete with a magnificent fireplace that warms the room in all four seasons of ideal lake living. Five bedrooms and three baths provide plenty of sleeping space for family and friends. The 8 acre parcel features a large architect-designed storage building (not a pole barn) with a heated shop area and an additional full bath with its own well and septic system. The property has its own network of walking and skiing trails which connect with a mile long foot path maintained by Mowrey’s Oyster Bay Club. The path parallels Indian Trails Drive, the private entrance to the homes within the club. Access to the non-mortorized trail system that spans northwest Michigan lies at the head of Indian Trails Drive. The dunes of Mt. McSauba are a five minute drive or a 15 minute bike ride. With 250’ of frontage, there is room for two permanent moorings for your cruising yachts, where you are a 20 minute run away from Lake Michigan and the world. However, once you have savored the joys of Windwood, you may just decide to stay home and enjoy living in one of the finest spots on our planet. Welcome Home!
