Lake Michigan Such an incredible body of water. For those who know it, it’s a treasure. Some call it “Big Blue”. For all intents and purposes, it’s a fresh water ocean. You can’t see to the other side, the waves and the beach are spectacular, and it’s loaded with recreational potential, like swimming, boating, beachcombing, sailing and soaking up limitless picturesque scenery. (Oh, and no sharks!) To own property on or near Lake Michigan is a privilege. You’re able to enjoy the full range of its beauty, from the calm, glassy waters, gently lapping on the shore, to the full fury of its whitecaps, as far as you can see on the horizon.

There are as many reasons to own a log home as there are different types of log homes. There’s the natural setting and the feeling of being close to nature. Or the look and the feel of wood, of endurance and permanence, of bringing the outdoors in. The look of the lodge. And Michigan is home to some outstanding log homes, some by the water, some in the woods, and some on large acreage, and some on all three, like the ones listed on these two pages. Each of the following properties is spectacular in its own right. Call us about these properties, as well as other Michigan log properties for sale.
