Over 600 feet of private Lake Michigan frontage. More than 17 wooded acres. A landmark residence by architect Norman Carver Jr. Opportunities of this caliber are exceptionally rare. Originally built as the H.D. Mendel residence, this architectural estate showcases Japanese contemporary influences through soaring walls of glass, warm natural wood, and a design that seamlessly connects every living space to the surrounding landscape. The result is an extraordinary sense of privacy paired with panoramic Lake Michigan views. The 6,200+ square foot home offers seven bedrooms, seven-and-a-half baths, multiple indoor gathering spaces, and a main-level lakeside primary suite. Resort-style amenities include an in-ground pool, tennis court, attached guest quarters, double seawall, and a private tram providing effortless access to the beach below. Truly one of the Lake Michigan coast's most significant legacy estates, offering a lifestyle that is hard to replicate.
