Property Description
Set on 6.95 acres of beautiful, private land, 16521 Van Buren St offers a rare combination of seclusion, natural beauty, and convenient access to Lake Michigan and nearby amenities. Tucked into a unique natural dune setting and surrounded by old-growth trees, the home sits comfortably above the road, creating a peaceful and private retreat with a distinctly rural feel while being just minutes from town. Inside, the home offers 5 bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a private nursery or office, along with inviting living spaces designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A living room fireplace provides a cozy gathering place in the cooler months, while the in-ground pool offers the perfect escape during the summer. The walkout lower level provides easy access to the pool and outdoor spaces, and an elevator connecting the main floor to the basement adds convenience and accessibility. The property has seen several recent improvements, including a new barn featuring efficient in-floor boiler heating, newer HVAC equipment that has been maintained annually, a newer natural gas pool heater, and new garage door openers on the main house and one of the barn doors. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the proximity to Lake Michigan, with multiple nearby beach access points, including Kouw Park County Park and the beach access at the end of Van Buren St. Pigeon Lake's boat launch is just a short drive away, making it easy to enjoy boating, swimming, sunsets, and all that the lakeshore has to offer. Adding even more value to this unique property, the home is currently and has historically been a high-income-producing weekly vacation rental, offering an established opportunity for those looking for a property with strong rental potential. Whether enjoyed as a private retreat, a vacation home, or an income-producing investment, the expansive acreage, pool, barn, unique natural setting, and proximity to Lake Michigan create a truly special opportunity. Enjoy the peace and quiet of your own private retreat while still being only about 5 minutes from town, surrounded by great neighbors and close to some of West Michigan's most beautiful beaches.
