Out here in Sullivan Township, this small area sits tucked into the quieter reaches of Muskegon County—a place where acreage and wooded land define the character more than anything else. The homes that dot the landscape tend to sit back from the road, often on substantial parcels where privacy and trees come standard; you'll find ranch-style houses with open floor plans, decks that face the woods, and the kind of space that makes room to breathe feel like the whole point. Basements are finished, custom details matter, and the people who build here aren't cutting corners—2x6 construction, cathedral ceilings, and kitchens designed to actually live in. Wildlife is part of the view, and a summer morning here means coffee on a deck overlooking acres of it.
