Discover unparalleled tranquility at this stunning waterfront retreat in Charlevoix, boasting 150 feet of pristine frontage on Lake Marion. As a fully private, 119-acre no-wake lake with no public access and fewer than fifty parcels gracing its shoreline, this exclusive setting offers the ultimate haven for peaceful living. Mature hardwoods gently shade the property, creating a secluded lakeside oasis where neighbors practically disappear. Located within the Marion Hills subdivision, the home sits tucked away at the end of the private road. Spanning 2,700 total finished square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, the home underwent a comprehensive 2014 renovation introducing a new roof, siding, windows, doors, and a luxurious primary ensuite, alongside a whole-house water treatment system, reverse osmosis drinking water, and a modern heat pump for efficient central heating and air conditioning. Inside the upper levels, you will find soaring cathedral ceilings, two main-floor bedrooms, and living spaces anchored by a custom kitchen and a magnificent fireplace showcasing handmade Motawi tilework. Rich character flows throughout, elevated by historic, detailed woodworking beautifully repurposed from a church. An airy loft sits above, open on both sides to the living areas, while the main-level dining room extends out onto a spacious back deck overlooking the tranquil waters. The finished walkout basement offers an inviting family room that steps out to a second lake-facing deck. This lower level is completed by the home's third bedroom, a full bath, a laundry area, and a dedicated workshop. For the hobbyist, the property provides incredible utility with a one-car attached garage, an adjoining greenhouse room surrounded by extensive perennial gardens, and a massive four-plus-car pole barn with an RV door for all your Up North toys. This rare Charlevoix sanctuary perfectly balances modern luxury, bespoke architectural details, and breathtaking natural beauty.
