Welcome to the good life. Set on nearly 1.5 acres along the shores of Lake Macatawa, this distinguished waterfront estate offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a piece of local history. Previously owned by Chris Smith of Chris-Craft, the property reflects a time when lakefront living was defined by elegance, craftsmanship, and entertaining on a grand scale. One of its most remarkable features is the rare boathouse, a nod to a bygone era and one of the few remaining on Lake Macatawa. Built to accommodate two Chris-Craft boats and even a Cessna 180 converted to a seaplane, the structure speaks to the property's extraordinary heritage. Inside, the formal living and dining rooms provide generous space for gatherings, while a dedicated bar area makes entertaining a part of daily life. The family room opens to the kitchen and is highlighted by soaring ceilings and French doors that invite in the sights and sounds of lake life. Step outside to enjoy dinner on the patio or simply take in the view. Tucked away for privacy, the main-floor primary suite features two walk-in closets, a beautifully appointed bath with a steam shower, a nearby exercise room, and a sitting area that opens onto the expansive veranda overlooking the lake--this retreat has stunning panoramic views. Here, a morning coffee while the lake wakes up is a soothing way to greet the day. A library with built-ins, laundry room, and powder room complete the main level. Upstairs, you'll find four additional bedrooms, three of which enjoy stunning Lake Macatawa views. Two bedrooms feature built-in sleeping lofts, while the oversized guest suite includes its own bath and a hidden door leading to a bonus room. Another full bathroom completes the upper level. With sweeping views, main-floor living, expansive water frontage, an oversized lot, and boathouse, this exceptional estate captures the character and history of Lake Macatawa in a way few properties can.
