A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a spectacular lakefront estate set on more than three beautifully landscaped acres, featuring over 400 feet of pristine sandy shoreline. This extraordinary residence, designed by world-renowned architect Gino Rossetti, offers privacy, luxury, and craftsmanship that must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated. Enhancing the waterfront lifestyle, the estate features a private dock and a lap pool, and includes four jet skis along with a wake-surfing boat, offering a turnkey recreational experience on the water. Professionally designed and decorated throughout, every detail of the home reflects exceptional quality, imported materials, and solid construction. The main level features a first-floor primary suite complete with expansive custom closets. Captivating architectural elements set this home apart, including a breathtaking conservatory with a striking water wall feature, a full-length fireguard wall safe, and a private underground tunnel that connects to the lower level. Convenience is enhanced with an elevator that services all levels of the home. The property is equipped with commercial-grade furnaces (both gas forced air and radiant heat) and mechanical systems to ensure efficiency and comfort. A Cummins whole-house generator provides added peace of mind. Rarely does a property of this caliber become available, offering an exceptional lifestyle in one of the area's most coveted waterfront settings.

West Bloomfield, located between Orchard Lake and Cass Lake, is a lakeside and residential Orchard Lake Village neighborhood with winding shoreline roads and wooded pockets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Orchard Lake Road and Maple Road corridor, where boutique plazas, independent eateries, and everyday errands share the same lake-country rhythm. Housing leans toward mid-century ranches, contemporary rebuilds, and larger lakefront homes set back behind mature trees. Orchard Lake’s public shoreline and nearby trailheads shape a routine built around water views and seasonal walks. The pace feels quiet between commercial nodes, with short drives linking marinas, parks, and golf greens.
