Description

Brutus - MLS# 478082
Set along 200 feet of sandy shoreline on Burt Lake’s most coveted stretch, this exceptional property captures everything that draws families north. Nearly two acres of manicured grounds, soft beaches, and open blue water come together in one unforgettable setting perfectly positioned on the western shore of Burt Lake, closest to Petoskey and Harbor Springs. A place where generations can gather, celebrate, and belong. Designed with intention, this custom-built five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath residence blends craftsmanship and comfort in perfect measure. Expansive windows frame the lake from nearly every room, filling the home with light and a sense of calm that’s hard to put into words. Inside, soaring ceilings, warm wood tones, and thoughtful architectural details make every space feel both grand and intimate. A rare and remarkable feature of this property is the attached guest quarters, complete with its own entrance, kitchen, and garage, providing ideal privacy for extended family or guests. Whether used as a separate retreat or seamlessly integrated into the main home, it’s a design element seldom found on Burt Lake and one that speaks to the thoughtfulness behind every inch of this estate. Outdoors, broad lakeside patios and decks invite endless summer gatherings, while the backdrop of 484 acres of protected conservancy land offers peace, privacy, and miles of trails to explore year-round. Part of Michigan’s famed Inland Waterway, Burt Lake connects you to miles of navigable rivers and lakes, yet it’s this specific setting on Colonial Point that truly sets it apart. This is more than a lake house; it’s a legacy property meant to be shared, cherished, and passed down through generations.
