6365 Waters Edge Lane

Overview

It's easy to see why people keep coming back to this slice of the good life. As a very successful Silver Lake short-term rental with 60 feet of water frontage, this property has become a place where weekends turn into traditions. Now it's ready for its next owner. Set on over 3 wooded acres just minutes from vibrant downtown Saugatuck and West Michigan's award-winning beaches, this home was taken down to the studs and extensively renovated, giving you the character of the original home with essentially everything inside updated. And it's not just one standout feature that sets the home apart; it's the combination that makes it memorable. A detached carriage house that becomes everyone's favorite hangout spot. A barrel sauna and outdoor shower after a day on the lake. A kitchen where the oversized island fills with snacks before everyone heads outside for a day of kayaking.

Property details

What to ask about this one

Three questions worth putting to the listing side before you write anything. They are specific to this property, not a checklist.

1. 01

   Confirm the bottomland ownership and what the dock permit allows

2. 02

   Check the lake board's rules on watercraft and no-wake hours

3. 03

   Budget for a pre-1978 inspection — lead paint, knob-and-tube, and the roof

4. 04

   Ask what the taxable value uncaps to after the sale, not what the seller pays now
