If you're well off and looking to purchase your dream home on Lake Michigan with plenty of acreage, it looks like you're in luck! The stunning, massive home at 13213 Lakeshore Drive in Grand Haven has been listed for a cool $17,100,000. The property was once home to the $7.5 million dollar home known as Stonegate, which was built by Robert Van Kampen. The massive structure was demolished in 2004 due to his estate's inability to sell the home and property. Where the home once stood there is now a lovely tennis court, one of many unique features of this property.

 

What does a home that runs for over $17 million offer the potential owner? Just about everything! The house itself is a sprawling 8,481 square feet with seven bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms. Built in 1994, this home has the charm of an established structure with all the modern amenities that are hard to find in older construction. Of course, the main home is not the only edifice on the property. There is also a three stall garage, a stand alone pool house and spa (that has an indoor golf simulator for those who can't wait until spring to hit the links), a caretaker's home, a maintenance building, and a stand alone guest house.

 

The house is nestled beautifully in a 129 acre estate that includes 2,400 feet of Lake Michigan lakefront property. That's nearly half a mile of private beach frontage! The massive windows in the main house overlooking that lovely private frontage and miles of water are made from insulated industrial glass. The house offers everything a person could desire in a home. There's a large, gourmet kitchen, recently remodeled with travertine flooring and Pyrolave countertops. You won't even miss out on the view of Lake Michigan while cooking; the range was specially installed to allow the home cook a gracious view of the massive body of water outside.

 

The main living room is large enough to host up to eighty people at a time, complete with a stone fireplace and 24 foot vaulted ceilings. There's even an elevator inside, for those unable to climb stairs to this main living space. Additionally, the home boasts a home theatre room with two massive screens, a carpeted indoor sports room referred to as “the stadium,”and several other bedrooms, all with access to private or Jack and Jill bathrooms. Outside the main house, there's an indoor saltwater pool and hot tub, along with changing stations and entertainment areas.

 

If, for some reason, you're interested in the main house but not the acreage, the house and pool house have been listed separately for $6.9 million. The property parcel, which includes 120 acres of prime land and both the four bedroom caretaker's house and five bedroom guest house, has been listed as well for a separate price of $10.2 million.
