5 Michigan Waterfront and Acreage Retreats with Custom Luxury

Along the water’s edge on Wixom Lake, this custom-built 2017 ranch pairs timeless craftsmanship with the easy rhythm of an all-sports setting—and sunsets that steal the scene. With 118 feet of sandy, shallow frontage, a steel seawall, dock, and a level professionally landscaped lawn, days naturally spill outdoors among colorful, low-maintenance perennials. Inside, an open plan glows with natural light through Andersen 400 Series windows and doors framing panoramic lake views. Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, crown molding, and designer lighting set a refined tone, while the gourmet kitchen delivers custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, Viking appliances, a new Samsung Smart refrigerator, an oversized island, and a butler’s pantry. A gas fireplace with granite surround anchors the living room, opening to a covered lakeside patio, with a second concrete patio just beyond the dining area. Normal lake levels are expected to return in 2028.
