About this home
Private pontoon boat tours are now being scheduled for pre-qualified buyers. Imagine leaving the mainland behind and taking a pontoon ride to your own private island cottage on the St. Joseph River. This fully furnished 2-bedroom retreat offers 100 feet of river frontage, a 60-foot private dock, an incredible screened porch overlooking the water, wood-burning fireplace, outdoor shower, rustic sauna, and multiple outbuildings for storage, workshop, and river-life essentials. Fish from the dock, cruise the river by pontoon, kayak, jet ski, or relax beneath mature shade trees while listening to the water instead of traffic. Located just minutes from Buchanan, Michigan -- named the 2020 Nicest Place in America by Reader's Digest -- this is more than a cottage. It is a completely different pace of life. Accessible only by boat. Memories included. Approximately 60 minutes from Kalamazoo, 90 minutes from downtown Chicago, and about 30 minutes from the Michigan Welcome Center, this private island getaway feels worlds away from everyday life while still being surprisingly accessible for spontaneous weekends and summer escapes. What makes this property special is not just the cottage itself -- it is the experience of arriving here. You leave the mainland behind, step onto the pontoon, and within minutes the pace of life begins to change. The noise fades. The trees surround you. The river slows everything down. The large screened porch quickly becomes the favorite gathering place. Morning coffee overlooking the water. Summer storms rolling across the river. Long dinners, card games, laughter, and conversations that somehow last later here than they do anywhere else. Outside, the dock becomes the launch point for fishing, kayaking, pontoon rides, swimming, jet skiing, and relaxing afternoons on the St. Joseph River. Even simple moments feel different here -- sitting beneath the mature shade trees, listening to the water instead of traffic, watching herons glide overhead, spotting deer along the shoreline, or ending the evening around the campfire under the stars. Inside, the cottage offers a warm and comfortable "up north" atmosphere with natural wood finishes, a wood-burning fireplace, 2 bedrooms, and 1 full bathroom. Outside, enjoy an outdoor shower, rustic sauna, and multiple outbuildings for storage, workshop space, and river-life essentials. This is the kind of place families hold onto for generations because it creates the kind of memories people never quite forget....
