The bluff overlooking the lake is an ideal spot for practicing yoga, Tai Chi, or simply reading a book. The sunsets here are breathtaking, leaving you yearning to return long after you've left.
The large windows allow the stunning blues and greens of the lake to fill the house with natural beauty. In the evening, the sunset casts warm colors through the windows, creating an almost existential moment as you stand and let the dying rays wash over you. For the ultimate in relaxation and tranquility, try sitting in the hot tub while watching the sun set and the stars emerge in the night sky.

Whether you're retreating to the privacy of a master suite or sharing a room with family, the thoughtful design and plush bedding promise a rejuvenating sleep experience for all.
The lower level of this house is designed for activity and family time, delicately contrasting with the quiet charm of the upper level. The Ping Pong Table is a great spot for Gen X’ers to teach their children, nieces, and nephews the art of table tennis.

You'll also find a selection of family games in the TV room area downstairs. If you're looking for new games, South Haven offers great options like Harbor Toy Company and Hideaway Gaming.
For the Gen X’ers (and their children and grandchildren too), Rocket Arcade is a must-visit. It features all your favorite arcade games from the '80s and an impressive assortment of pinball machines.
