The shoreline here runs along Lake Michigan's eastern edge, with dunes and sandy beaches defining the immediate landscape. Inland, the terrain shifts to rolling woodlots and open acreage—ten, twenty, even fifty acres per parcel—dotted with farmhouses, pole barns, and the occasional lakefront cottage. The road network is quiet and rural, lined with trees and long sight lines. This is the kind of place where you can see the weather coming across the water and hear it in the pines before it arrives.
