Inside, LVP flooring runs through a spacious great room anchored by a fireplace, creating an easy rhythm for everyday living and weekends with friends. The kitchen is richly detailed with granite counters, a copper sink, and a custom hood. In the primary suite, a marble bath and tiled shower add a refined finish. Outdoors, a covered patio and dock keep lake time close at hand, while a finished, heated garage and fully equipped pole barn add welcome flexibility for hobbies and storage, all framed by incredible lake views.

Along the shores of spring-fed Clear Lake, this double-lot retreat pairs everyday comfort with true four-season living on an all-sports, approximately 90-acre lake. The open-concept main floor keeps the focus on the water, with a kitchen and living area oriented for easy gathering, plus two bedrooms and a full bath for flexible hosting. Upstairs, a spacious private primary suite adds welcome separation, featuring an ensuite bath, a walk-in closet, and balcony views across the lake. Outdoors, the back deck and private dock set the rhythm of daily life—morning coffee by the water, afternoons on the boat, and winter days that can end with ice fishing. Practical touches include an oversized 2-stall garage and a storage shed, with no HOA fees and no public boat launch preserving the quieter setting.

On a corner lot in South Haven, 936 Superior St offers a lightfilled, thoughtfully designed 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath layout with many universal features.

Nearby, cheerful living and dining spaces flow easily from the kitchen into the living room, where a new direct vent gas fireplace adds a cozy focal point. The tile bathroom continues the considered approach with a curbless shower, bench seating, and a hand held shower head. Everyday routines feel simpler with main-floor laundry and new front-load washer and dryer, while a full basement provides added flexibility.

Beyond the cottage, the setting is all about recreation: trails, lakes, and a golf course, with a snowmobile trail less than a mile away. The clubhouse offers indoor activities, including a pool house and a place to gather with family or friends. Mostly turnkey (minus a few items), it’s ready for weekends that feel longer than they are.

Along the water’s edge on Mirror Lake, this south-facing lakefront walkout building site is designed for an easy, outdoors-first rhythm.

Ideal for a walkout basement design, the site also includes a 30-foot aluminum dock for afternoons on the water and unhurried evenings at the shoreline. A short walk down Westshore Drive brings you to the association park, where a sandy beach, picnic pavilions, and a playground create a relaxed sense of community in the heart of the Irish Hills.
