Description
Welcome to your exclusive equestrian retreat. Just minutes from downtown New Buffalo and less than 15 minutes from Lake Michigan, this country estate spans over 42 acres of pristine pasture and wooded trails. Enter through the stately gate to a private wooded drive and sweeping views of professionally landscaped grounds, a two-car detached garage, barn, and newly built equestrian facility that boasts extra tall 18’ ceilings, adding flexibility to the space to house farm equipment, watercraft, or even a small airplane. Inside, the foyer boasts 10-foot ceilings with exposed beams, Brazilian cherry flooring, a den/office, and a stone facade wood-burning fireplace in the open concept living room. The chef’s kitchen features Traulsen and Dacor appliances and a large butcher block island. Adjacent to the kitchen, a screened sunroom offers a perfect retreat. The second level houses a magnificent primary suite with sweeping views, double walk-in closets, and an en-suite with separate vanities, a soaking tub, and a subway-tiled walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms with en-suites, a sitting area, and a conveniently placed laundry room complete this floor. The third level includes an expansive fourth bedroom or bonus room. Downstairs, find a finished cabin-like family room with a wood-burning fireplace. The 2022 equestrian facility includes an eight-stall barn, tack room with radiant floor heating, new wash stall featuring hot water, and a full indoor riding arena, also suitable for large equipment or as a hangar for a small plane. Enjoy the in-ground pool and patio during warm months, and rely on the whole-house generator during inclement weather. Conveniently located less than 1.5 hours from downtown Chicago and less than 45 minutes from Notre Dame, with easy access to the beach, breweries, wineries, and shopping.
