Property Description
Absolutely stunning building site with about 400 feet of private frontage on 81 acre all-sports Shafer Lake. Majestic hardwoods, including walnut and maple, on rolling hills offer privacy from both the road and the neighbors in this quiet country setting. A driveway is already cut in. Perfect gentle slope to the water's edge, where you can contemplate the view and enjoy excellent fishing for rainbow trout, bluegill, largemouth bass, yellow perch, and more. This is the largest parcel on the west side of the lake. Easy access from I-94, Kalamazoo, St. Joe, South Haven, and Sister Lakes. Located in the heart of the Southwest Michigan fruit belt. Orchards, farms, trails, wineries, and microbreweries abound in the surrounding areas. Less than 2 hours from Chicago and you are in another world.
