At the quiet end of Orchard Avenue, a tree-lined drive leads to a Mediterranean-inspired coastal residence with guest cottage set on 2.8 acres of private Lake Michigan backdune forest. Mature trees, landscaped gardens, and seasonal stream create a peaceful setting just minutes from Harbor Country's sandy beaches. The landscaped approach leads past a charming koi pond to the home's welcoming covered entry. Inside, woodland views unfold through soaring two-story windows in the dramatic living room, where handsome barley-twist columns, travertine floors, and a striking stone fireplace establish the home's distinctive architectural character. The 6,800 square foot main residence is equally suited to everyday comfort and memorable gatherings with family and friends. A chef's kitchen with two islands, a wood-burning pizza oven, and an adjoining butler's pantry complements the home's spacious dining area. Just beyond, a screened porch with its own fireplace overlooks the surrounding woodland, an inviting place to linger from morning coffee through evening conversation. Five bedrooms include primary suites on both the main and upper levels. A home office with walls of glass, loft sitting room, media room, and expansive recreation spaces offer places to work, unwind, and come together. Other amenities include generous laundry and project room, ample storage, and a three-car garage. Outside, stone patios, a hot tub, and woodland pathways extend the living experience into the surrounding landscape. The expansive grounds offer room for a future swimming pool and additional outdoor amenities. Set apart from the main residence, a charming one-bedroom guest cottage with its own fireplace provides family and friends with a welcoming private retreat. With exceptional privacy, space for generations to gather, and nearby public access to Lake Michigan, this distinctive property captures the relaxed spirit of life in Harbert.
