ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPPORTUNITY. For over a century, this pristine stretch of the North Shore on Big Detroit Lake has been cherished by a single family. Now, for the first time in over 100 years, this legendary property is available to the public. In 2003, the homeowners collaborated closely with celebrated architect Jerry Schutz to replace the original family cottage with a custom masterpiece, thoughtfully engineered to pair timeless character with modern luxury. A study in intentional design, where high-end finishes meet effortless one-level living. The open-concept Great Room, with its soaring vaulted ceilings, draw your eyes to 86 feet of hard-bottom sandy shoreline. Outside, the rare flat lot offers a resort-style beach, multiple gardens and curated outdoor spaces, including a dedicated grilling patio off the kitchen with a natural gas hookup, private hot tub area and lakeside patio, perfect for entertaining during those warm summer nights. Inside, the entire home and garage stay cozy year-round with the comfort of in-floor radiant heat. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a double-sided gas fireplace and a massive walk-in closet with floor-to-ceiling built-ins. The gourmet kitchen boasts double ovens and expansive countertops, while the massive laundry and mudroom serves as a storage powerhouse with a full sink and second refrigerator. Fall in love with the second bedroom’s private patio access while the third bedroom serves as a warm, inviting study—perfect for quiet reflection. Whether you’re in the unique, production-focused office or enjoying the lake breeze, this Schutz-designed estate is a "Minnesota moment" a century in the making.
