Property Description
Tucked away on more than 11 wooded acres along the scenic Paw Paw River Water Trail, this furnished cedar-log retreat offers the perfect mix of seclusion and convenience. Nearly 300 feet of private river frontage invites you to launch a kayak, reel in walleye and steelhead, or simply watch deer and an abundance of wildlife the river has to offer! This river frontage is part of the maintained water trail which means it's cleared every year for easy kayaking and water sports. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings frame a floor-to-ceiling fieldstone fireplace, while warm oak hardwoods and rich cedar finishes create a timeless lodge atmosphere. The gourmet kitchen features stainless appliances, generous prep space, and bar seating—ideal for gatherings large or small. Four spacious bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths include a serene primary suite on its own level, and the walk-out lower level is ready for game nights or future expansion. Recent upgrades such as the 2022 standing-seam metal

A separate two-story guest cottage, built in 2022, adds flexibility with one bedroom, one bath, its own well and septic, mini-split HVAC, and a cozy wood stove. If desired, installing garage doors would easily transform this structure into a pole barn. The attached heated garage at the main home parks four cars or safely stores all your outdoor toys.
Morning coffee tastes better on the covered front porch, summer barbecues shine on the expansive back deck, and sunset gatherings around the riverside patio become unforgettable moments. Hiking trails weave through mature hardwoods for year-round nature walks, snowshoeing, or ATV adventures right on your property.
Although it feels a world away, you're just 14 miles from the Lake Michigan shorelines of St. Joseph and South Haven, 10 minutes from Four Winds Casino, 20 minutes from Kalamazoo, and an easy drive to Grand Rapids with its vibrant dining, arts, and brewery scenes.
If turnkey riverfront sanctuary that feels like it belongs in a magazine in the heart of Southwest Michigan is on your wish list, this private oasis awaits schedule your tour and experience it for yourself.
