15344 Lakeside Road Lakeside, MI 49116

A rare canvas and exceptional investment opportunity in the heart of Harbor Country
in Lakeside, where quiet roads wind past fairways and forest, an uncommon opportunity awaits directly across from the storied Chikaming Country Club. Positioned on one of the area's most desirable and supply-constrained corridors, this nearly 3,000-square-foot residence sits on nearly three-quarters of an acre and is embraced by 15 acres of protected preserve - a setting that offers both enduring privacy and strong long-term value.
Fully taken to the studs, the home stands ready for reinvention. The existing tri-level footprint supports a four-bedroom, three-bath layout with an attached two-car garage, offering a versatile framework for a bespoke retreat, luxury spec build, or thoughtfully curated resale project.
The property presents a true redevelopment opportunity, with improvements typical of a comprehensive renovation or new-build caliber project anticipated, including utilities, waterproofing, windows, roof, electrical, plumbing, insulation, and complete kitchen and bath installations. For the right buyer, this creates the freedom to design and execute a home to today's standards and aesthetic expectations. Outside, the landscape unfolds as a private sanctuary. Mature trees frame an open lawn with ample room for a future pool, guest house concept, garden terraces, or expansive outdoor living amenities increasingly sought by Harbor Country buyers. With protected land beyond, the natural backdrop remains serene and preserved. The lifestyle offering is equally compelling. Days begin with a ride along the new bike path, afternoons drift toward the sugar-sand shores of Pier Street's township beach, and evenings are spent enjoying the area's beloved dining, farm stands, and boutiques. Just over an hour from Chicago, yet a world away in pace, the location continues to see steady demand from both weekend and year-round buyers seeking refined escapes.
For those who value place, privacy, and potential, this is more than a renovation or redevelopment it is an opportunity to create a legacy home or a high-upside investment in one of Harbor Country's most coveted settings.
