Michigan’s Lakeshore Jewel: Bespoke Waterfront Estate Asks $6.4 Million
Set behind the private gates of NorthShore—Saugatuck’s most exclusive waterfront community—6736 Saugatuck Beach Rd is an estate that redefines coastal elegance. Priced at $6.4 million and nestled on 1.5 acres of gently rolling land, this Hamptons-inspired retreat is framed by 160 feet of private river frontage and access to 400 feet of NorthShore’s secluded Lake Michigan beach. The residence merges elevated design with extraordinary natural beauty, offering a one-of-a-kind opportunity in Saugatuck real estate.
Completed in 2021, the estate spans 5,822 square feet across two stories, balancing timeless craftsmanship with sophisticated modern amenities. The architecture nods to classic Cape Cod sensibilities, with cedar-style siding and a crisp white palette. Inside, expansive Pella windows capture the light and ever-changing lake views, while white oak flooring, 12-foot beamed ceilings, and Restoration Hardware lighting create an atmosphere of curated comfort.

Refined Living with Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Flow
Every detail of the home has been meticulously chosen to enhance both aesthetics and function. The gourmet kitchen is a showpiece, appointed with Sub-Zero and Thermador appliances, Carrera quartz countertops, dual islands, double ovens, a butler’s pantry, and even warming and cooling drawers. Open to the main living area and adjacent to a screened terrace, the kitchen becomes a natural center for entertaining, flowing effortlessly toward the water’s edge.
Outside, the setting is equally compelling. A plunge pool, fire pit, and covered grilling porch invite relaxation and social connection. An automated louvered pergola offers shelter during midday sun, while the surrounding terrace allows for barefoot strolls and golden-hour cocktails. “It’s a home built for long weekends that turn into whole summers,” says Chad Van Horn, listing agent with Beacon Sotheby’s International Realty. “There’s an ease here that you rarely find, even in high-end lakefront properties.”

Private Quarters That Offer Peace and Perspective
The main-level primary suite brings a spa-like experience to everyday life. With private access to the pool, a glowing fireplace, dual walk-in closets, and a bath outfitted with heated marble floors and a soaking tub overlooking the water, the space delivers unmatched comfort and tranquility. Upstairs, the recreation lounge opens to a private balcony and includes a wet bar, fitness nook, and flexible living space for game nights or yoga mornings.
Additional features such as three fireplaces, dual laundry stations, a whole-home Sonos audio system, and a heated epoxy-finished three-car garage speak to the estate’s level of thoughtful detail. The home also includes a 24/7 fire suppression system and high-speed internet access, proving that luxury can coexist with everyday practicality.
“This is the kind of property where every corner feels intentional,” notes Megan Mallory, co-listing agent. “From the lighting choices to the way the windows frame the views, everything has been curated to enhance your experience of the lake.”

A Community That Embodies Lakeside Lifestyle
The estate’s location within NorthShore places it in the heart of one of Michigan’s most prized real estate enclaves. Just a few minutes from downtown Saugatuck, residents enjoy easy access to award-winning restaurants, boutique galleries, and a vibrant cultural scene centered around the Saugatuck Center for the Arts. Outdoor activities are abundant, with nearby hiking trails, marina access, and seasonal festivals that bring the community to life year-round.
The development itself emphasizes conservation and exclusivity, preserving natural dune landscapes while offering residents privacy and serenity. “It’s incredibly rare to find this blend of river frontage, private beach access, and new construction,” Van Horn told Luxury Houses Magazine. “This home offers a lifestyle that’s both elevated and deeply connected to nature.”
