This is the Southwesternmost House in the State of Michigan – and it’s For Sale
You're looking at the southwesternmost home in the state of Michigan. It's right on the beach of Lake Michigan at the Michigan - Indiana state line. And if you want it and have a few million dollars to spare, it could be your home.
The house has a New Buffalo address and is in Michiana, an extremely secluded village between US 12 and the lake. The home is listed for $3.75 million via Berkshire Hathaway. It is 5 bedrooms, 3 baths and 5100 square feet.
Is this home really the southwesternmost home in the state of Michigan? Check out the screen shot below from Google Maps Street View. The home is on the right. Notice how the pavement changes on Lakeshore Drive? That's the state line with Michigan in the foreground and Indiana in the background.
Here's another view of the home. This one is from Indiana. The road on the left-hand side of the picture is Michiana Drive and runs along the state line. It meets Lakeshore Drive at an angle, so the drawn red line is my amateur cartography of the state line in position of the home.
Finally, here's a satellite view showing the stateline and the lake.
Here's how the listing agent describes the property:
Discover the pinnacle of luxury beachfront living with this exceptional, one-of-a-kind property in the Village of Michiana, now available for the first time! From the moment you step through the front door, you're greeted by breathtaking, panoramic views of Lake Michigan, with uninterrupted vistas of the shoreline stretching north and southno neighboring homes to obstruct your view.

As the New Buffalo area is within an hour of Chicago, the area is a favored getaway destination for the monied population of Chicagoland. So it's likely the home will be snatched up by a Chicagoan who will use it as a weekend getaway or 'summer place.'
