Property Description
A rare opportunity to own 5.2 private acres with 80 feet of Lake Michigan frontage on desirable Donegal Bay in the St. James area of Beaver Island. Surrounded by mature pines, birch, and adjoining conservancy land, this furnished 3 bedroom, 2 bath home offers exceptional privacy with no visible neighbors, spectacular sunset views, and your own walking trail leading through the dunes to your own private beach. Designed for effortless island living, the home offers more than 1,400 square feet with a comfortable floor plan that includes a main-floor bedroom, two additional bedrooms upstairs, and a cozy loft that's perfect for reading or relaxing. The primary suite opens onto a private balcony overlooking Lake Michigan (and views of High Island in the distance). The beautifully renovated kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring Brazilian riverbed granite, abundant cabinetry, and all appliances included. Updates include the kitchen, roof, and bathrooms. Both bathrooms feature bidets, and the main floor bath includes a luxurious six-foot soaking tub. Rich wood flooring flows throughout the living areas, complemented by tile flooring in the bathrooms. Dual sliding glass doors lead to a sprawling main-level deck with a covered seating area designed for entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Beautiful landscaping, including a butterfly garden, enhances the natural setting. Thanks to Beaver Island's refreshing lake breezes, air conditioning is rarely needed, while zoned electric baseboard heat provides efficient comfort throughout the seasons. Whether you're looking for a year-round residence, a turnkey second home, or a private island retreat, this property is ready to enjoy from day one. Starlink high-speed internet keeps you connected when needed, and the quiet beauty of Beaver Island invites you to disconnect whenever you choose. (This listing includes a total of eight tax IDs.)
