Continue the Story of a Village of Michiana Classic. Completed around 1935 and held by the same family for generations, this original Michiana log home offers a rare opportunity to become part of the story of one of Harbor Country's most distinctive lake communities. Set among the trees and dunes just three minute walk to Lake Michigan at Stop 40, the home reflects the rustic character that has long defined Michiana. Inside, a vaulted ceiling and fieldstone fireplace create an inviting central gathering space, while a large three-season porch extends the living area into the surrounding woodland. An upper-level sun deck provides another peaceful place to enjoy the lake air and the natural setting.Michiana's early log homes were created as relaxed woodland retreats for families escaping the city, and examples of these historic cabins can still be found tucked throughout the community today. This property offers the next owner an opportunity to thoughtfully restore and reimagine the existing cabin, make improvements that respect its original character, or explore the possibilities for a newly conceived home on this exceptional site, subject to applicable approvals. Whether envisioned as a revived vintage retreat or the beginning of a new architectural chapter, the property's outstanding location near Lake Michigan provides the foundation for something truly special. The property will be sold AS IS. Inspiration photos are digitally redesigned.
