About Hill House

Autumn ViewIt is rare to come across a beautiful home on this much secluded wooded property in the lower peninsula of Michigan with spectacular panoramic views of two lakes (Lake Michigan and Portage Lake). In fact, this is the last parcel of land of this size in Onekama that has this high a view of both lakes. When you’re up on this hill, the rest of the world seems to disappear—peace of mind can settle in. The sunsets are never the same and envelop you in a sublime state of wonder. Flower gardens and forest surround the home—no need to mow ever again.

This 31-year-old, 3-story home (3,600 sq. ft. on 20.5 acres) is perched on a very high hill in Onekama, Michigan, overlooking acres and acres of rolling forest leading down to Portage Lake and Lake Michigan. Newly renovated inside and out, this safe haven and its natural environment offer a quiet refuge for individuals seeking beauty and nurture for soul and spirit. Privacy abounds, beginning with the gated driveway that winds through the woods. There are no close neighbors. The home cannot be seen from the street. Sounds of wind and songs of birds fill the air.

The first level can be used as separate living quarters. Rooms include an entry/sitting room, kitchen/laundry, large bedroom, living/dining room, exercise room (or office) with deck, and a full bath. This can be a great private living space for visitors, parents, and/or teenagers.

West FacadeThe second level consists of a large 2-story living room with huge stone fireplace and window/sliding-glass-door-wall facing the lakes, a large kitchen (kitchen and living room access 47‘ long deck on front of home), dining room with big 5 panel bay-window and a wall of built-in book cases, a large bedroom (or office, or family room that opens onto a deck on back of home) with a vestibule leading to a half-bath.

The third level consists of a large master bedroom with balcony-deck and a brick fireplace, a large walk-in closet and master bath with oversized jet tub, a loft overlooking the living room, a large guest bedroom, and another full bath.
