Lake Michigan home with private beach access listed for $3.9 million

COLOMA, MI — Imagine Lake Michigan was in your backyard and you could feel the summer breeze coming off the water. 

That reality isn’t too far away — it’s actually available in a stunning lakehouse just off Blue Star Highway, halfway between South Haven and St. Joseph. 

Built nearly 20 years ago, the Lake Michigan home near Coloma has all the assets for the perfect get away with family and friends.

It has 5 acres of land and 150 feet of low-bluff private lake frontage. A boat launch is included with the property.

“We love this place,” said homeowner Ron Oldenkamp, “We’re just ready to do some traveling and settle down.”

Ron and Kathy Oldenkamp had the house built by contractors who created a rustic, log cabin feel to the home. One beloved feature is the ceiling, which is curved to resemble the bottom of a boat.

The three-story home has eight bedrooms, eight full baths and two half baths. It is listed for $3,890,000. 

With the enormous space, Kathy Oldenkamp said they can comfortably fit 22 people inside the home for vacations, reunions or holidays.

“We have fit 50 people here before,” Kathy Oldenkamp said. “When people rent it out, we only look for families because we didn’t want the house to be used for bachelor parties and stuff like that, it’s a family home.”

The house also has an attached garage to the home and a detached garage just a few feet away. The detached garage has six spaces and can fit boats, tractors, four-wheelers and other vehicles.
