Set on 3.52 private acres with 381 feet of frontage on all-sports Lake Chapin, this beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath lakefront retreat offers a combination of acreage, privacy, recreation, and waterfront usability rarely found in Southwest Michigan. A winding artesian stream with waterfalls and footbridges flows through the property, while mature trees, expansive lawn, and a gentle walkout approach to the water create a setting that feels more like a private resort than a traditional lake home. With no stairs to the lake, exceptional frontage, and breathtaking views in every direction, the property was designed to be enjoyed as much for the land as for the water itself. Completely renovated in 2016, the home blends warmth and character with modern comfort. Walls of windows showcase the spectacular lake views throughout. Vaulted ceilings, wide plank wood flooring, heated bathroom floors, updated electrical, mini-split heating and cooling systems are just a few of the many updates. The spacious kitchen features a large island, pantry, and original stone fireplace, while the primary suite includes a beautifully updated bath with tiled shower. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A custom stone patio and firepit overlook the lake, creating the perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying unforgettable sunsets. The new dock system includes two boat slips with lifts, two jet ski lifts, and a permitted option for a third lift, making this an exceptional property for boating, fishing, and enjoying all-sports Lake Chapin. Adding even more distinction is the custom lighted sports court designed for pickleball, basketball, and volleyball, an amenity rarely found on a private waterfront property. Whether hosting family gatherings, entertaining guests, or enjoying active lakefront living, this property offers recreation opportunities that few homes can match. The grounds are complemented by a 40x36 pole barn, detached two-car garage, dockside storage shed, new stone seawall, irrigation to the garage, updated well equipment, septic improvements, and ample space for boats, lake toys, and recreational vehicles. There may also be potential for future expansion or construction of an additional residence, offering flexibility rarely available on waterfront property of this size. Located approximately 90 minutes from Chicago, 25 minutes from South Bend International Airport, and just minutes from St. Joseph, Lake Michigan beaches, wineries, orchards, golf courses, and restaurants, this remarkable property offers the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility. Properties offering this combination of acreage, frontage, natural beauty, recreation, and easy walkout lake access rarely become available. 4435 Lake Chapin Road is a truly one-of-a-kind Southwest Michigan waterfront retreat.
