A Piece of Clark Lake History. A Place to Create What Comes Next. An extraordinary opportunity to own approximately 116 feet of sandy frontage on Clark Lake, on land once part of the Steinem family's historic Ocean Beach property, where writer and women's rights leader Gloria Steinem spent formative summers of her childhood. Located on Ocean Beach Road, this approximately half-acre, west-facing homesite offers sweeping views across Clark Lake, spectacular sunsets and approximately 260 feet of depth, creating an exceptional setting for a custom lake home. The property's story dates to the 1920s, when Gloria's parents, Leo and Ruth Steinem, established their summer home and substantial landholdings at Ocean Beach. Leo Steinem later created the celebrated Ocean Beach Pier, an over-water dance pavilion that helped make this end of Clark Lake a regional summer destination during the Big Band era. Gloria Steinem later recalled the music, swimming and summers she experienced here as a child. Nearly a century later, the opportunity is to create something new on this remarkable stretch of Clark Lake shoreline. The level building site combines significant lake frontage with access to public sewer and available natural gas, electric and cable services. Its location on Clark Lake provides the lifestyle generations of families have treasured: boating, swimming, entertaining and evenings watching the sun set across the water. 116 feet of Clark Lake. A remarkable connection to its history. An opportunity to create its next chapter. The history is already written. The next chapter is yours.
