Property Description
Set at the top of the dune in the Forest Beach neighborhood, it offers a rare vantage point with sweeping views across the wooded valley, along with glimpses of both Lake Michigan and Lake Macatawa. It's the kind of setting that feels special the moment you arrive.
Forest Beach spans 49 acres of preserved woods and dunes with over 1,000 feet of shared Lake Michigan frontage. This property includes three deeded beach access points spanning multiple neighboring beachfront areas, offering a level of flexibility not commonly found along this stretch of shoreline.
It is also one of only three properties with a parking easement at the 'Chicago Addition,' allowing you to park just steps from the beach. Backing directly to Sanctuary Woods, a protected 40-acre natural area with established trails, the property offers exceptional privacy with no homes behind you; just woods, quiet, and the ability to step outside your door and walk the trails whenever you choose.
This is a place that truly captures the best of West Michigan: private beach access, miles of shoreline, wooded trails, and a peaceful setting that feels removed yet connected to everything around it.
A foundation from prior plans remains on site, along with concepts for both a 4,000+ square foot home and a smaller footprint design.
Buildable lots with private beach access along this stretch of Lake Michigan are limited, and opportunities like this rarely come along. Many homes in this area have been held for generations, passed down over time. It's the kind of place people find and never want to leave.

REVIEWS
- Nick did an awesome job in helping us find and purchase our condo. He listened to our wants and identified options and in the end we found a good fit for our needs for a vacation home Since we are far from Holland Nick set up a couple video tours to reduce travel. Thanks Nick for all the hard work and insight. We are very excited about our new home!Gordon L
- Nick was awesome to work with! I just went through the process of purchasing my first home and Nick couldn’t have made it any easier. He is super knowledgeable about the industry and the area. He answered all my questions and made sure to point out things I may not be thinking of since it was my first time going through the process. He was attentive, super responsive, easy to talk to, and truly cares about finding his clients a home they’ll love! I’m looking forward to working with him again in the future and would definitely recommend him as an agent!Emily Rzeszutko
- Nick was amazing to work with! This was my first time buying a house. Nick was very patient and took the time to walk me through everything and address all my questions. He was always quick to respond. He was clearly knowledgeable about the area and was great at pointing out and educating me on issues to watch for as we walked through houses. I absolutely recommend Nick to anyone buying or selling a home, and look forward to working with him again in the future!Kayla Kocal
