magine waking up every day to the serene beauty of Lake Michigan's shoreline, surrounded by wooded nature and endless tranquility. This extraordinary property, located at 8282 W. Harrison Road in Mears, MI, offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of paradise. With two renovated houses, including a stunning farmhouse and a unique barn house, this estate is the perfect haven for those seeking seclusion and luxury.
The current owner, Karin Lefler, has lovingly maintained the property since her aunt, Helen Lefler, first purchased it in 1988. The farmhouse was originally built as a tiny home in the early 1900s and was later expanded with two large additions in 2012. Helen Lefler's attention to detail is evident throughout the property, with antique architectural pieces and custom-built features that make each room feel like a work of art.
The barn house, designed by Helen Lefler herself, boasts one-of-a-kind qualities such as a telescope-equipped silo for stargazing and an elevator shaft that runs from the garage to the living quarters. The entire property is surrounded by 687 feet of private beach frontage, with soft sand and crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming or simply enjoying the peaceful atmosphere.
With its unique blend of natural beauty and luxurious amenities, this estate is a true gem. Karin Lefler has meticulously maintained the property over the years, ensuring that every detail is in tip-top shape. The farmhouse features four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and 2,735 square feet of living space, while the barn house offers one bedroom, two bathrooms, and 2,297 square feet of living space.
As Karin Lefler puts it, "This property feels like a world away from everything else. It's quiet, peaceful, and full of natural beauty." With its proximity to Pentwater and the Gerald R. Ford International Airport, this estate is perfect for families who love the water or those seeking a tranquil retreat.
