Welcome to The Lodge — A Once-in-a-Lifetime Riverfront Estate in Southwest Michigan. Over 7,400 sq ft of total living space with 11 bedrooms and tucked away at the end of a scenic half-mile drive, this extraordinary property along the St. Joseph River may be one of the most unique and secluded settings in all of Southwest Michigan. Spanning approximately 45 acres—with an additional 45 acres available for purchase—this is a rare opportunity to own up to 90 acres and nearly 3,000 feet of river frontage, offering unmatched privacy, natural beauty, and lifestyle flexibility. At the heart of the property sits The Main Lodge, a thoughtfully designed riverfront retreat with breathtaking views from nearly every window. The soaring great room, with its large stone fireplace, serves as a stunning centerpiece. While five spacious en-suite bedrooms and two additional half baths provide comfort for family and guests. The entertainer's kitchen features views of the river and a charming breakfast nook. Gather in the expansive dining room or relax in the light-filled sunroom. A lower-level walkout apartment with its own full kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom offers flexible space for extended stays, and an unfinished loft presents the opportunity for even more living space. Step outside to patios and decks that invite peaceful mornings and unforgettable evenings by the river. Briar Patch, located just 200 feet east of the main lodge, adds even more accommodations with two private suiteseach with a full bathroomand one with a kitchenette and extra room. Ideal as a guesthouse or rental space, Briar Patch also includes a connected 3-car garage for convenience and storage. Beehive, on the western edge of the Lodge provides a cozy 1-bedroom suite with a full bath, perfect for a private guest escape or a quiet weekend retreat nestled just off the expansive riverfront patio. As you enter the property, you'll first pass the Caretaker's Homea charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath residence complete with a spacious living area, full eat-in kitchen, laundry, and a covered front porch overlooking the sprawling lawn. Whether for a property manager, guest overflow, or short-term rental income, this home offers versatility and comfort. The grounds are a dream for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking true tranquility. Over 1,800 feet of direct river frontage frames the estate, with options to expand to almost 3,000' of river frontage. Miles of scenic trails wind through creeks, towering ravines, and rolling meadowsideal for hiking, ATVs, or horseback riding. Wildlife is abundant, from deer and turkey to bald eagles and seasonal salmon runs. Original outbuildings, a tennis court, and a croquet court add a sense of rustic charm and nostalgia.
