Across Michigan, a quintet of properties frames water as both backdrop and way of life, from all-sports Silver Lake to the vast north shore of Lake Michigan. Each setting favors time outdoors, whether that means docks and boating, beach walks near Bay Harbor’s marina and arts, or Mackinac Island days spent steps from the waterfront and downtown. Scale and rarity run throughout, from an expansive lakefront estate and a legacy compound with extensive frontage to 206 acres in Marshall with mineral valuation and multi-parcel potential.
