Property Description
Rare opportunity to own one of Lake Chapin's most extraordinary waterfront properties. Set on 3.52 private acres with 381 feet of frontage on all-sports Lake Chapin, this beautifully renovated 3 bedroom, 2 bath walkout lakefront home offers an exceptionally rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, recreation, and usability that is nearly impossible to replicate in Southwest Michigan.

The setting is what makes this property unforgettable. Surrounded by mature trees and expansive open lawn, the property feels private, serene, and worlds away from the pace of everyday life. From the gentle sound of the flowing artesian stream to the sweeping lake views and beautifully landscaped grounds,

Supplements
every part of this property has been crafted to create a sense of calm, space, and escape. It is rare to find a waterfront property that offers this much frontage, this much land, and this much privacy, all in one setting.
Completely gutted and remodeled in 2016, the home blends warmth, character, and comfort with stunning lake views from nearly every angle. Inside, you'll find vaulted ceilings, large plank wood floors, heated bathroom floors, updated electrical, mini splits with heat/AC throughout, a beautiful kitchen with a large island and pantry, and a spacious living room addition with a wall of windows overlooking the lake. The primary bedroom features an attached bath with tiled shower, while the original stone fireplace in the kitchen adds timeless character and charm. Though the home itself is inviting and beautifully finished, the true luxury of this property is how seamlessly it connects to the extraordinary setting around it.
Outdoor living here is every bit as special as the home itself. A large custom stone patio and firepit area at the water's edge create the perfect place to relax, entertain, and take in the peaceful lakefront surroundings. The new dock and boat lift system includes 2 boat slips with lifts, 2 jet ski lifts, and a permitted option for a 3rd lift, making this an exceptional property for boating, fishing, and enjoying all-sports Lake Chapin to the fullest.
Adding even more distinction is the rare custom sports court with pickleball, volleyball, basketball, and stadium lighting, an amenity almost never found in a private lakefront setting like this. It creates an entirely different layer of recreation and entertaining value, making the property just as well suited for gatherings and family fun as it is for quiet mornings and peaceful evenings by the water.
The property also includes a 40x36 pole barn, separate 2-car garage, and dockside shed, providing exceptional storage for boats, vehicles, recreational equipment, and lake toys. Additional improvements include irrigation run to the garage, new well bladder tank, septic ejector pump, and 2 propane tanks. For buyers seeking even more potential, there may be room to expand the current home or build an additional home, offering flexibility and long-term value that is rarely available in a waterfront property of this caliber.
Located approximately 90 minutes from Chicago, 25 minutes to South Bend airport and just 12 miles from St. Joseph and Lake Michigan, this one-of-a-kind property offers easy access to Southwest Michigan's beaches, wineries, orchards, restaurants, shopping, and charming lake towns. For buyers seeking a truly private waterfront retreat with acreage, natural beauty, recreation, and rare custom amenities, this is a Lake Chapin offering that stands in a class of its own.
