Discover the serenity and timeless charm of The Beach Club, a private, gated lakefront retreat tucked along the pristine shores of Lake Erie in beautiful Vermilion, Ohio. This rare and remarkable offering features four thoughtfully designed units—an income-producing triplex (Units A, B, C) and a beautifully appointed owner’s retreat (Unit D), each blending classic beach cottage character with modern comforts. All units are fully furnished and turn-key. From the moment you arrive, the setting captivates: mature trees, a nearly 400-foot private sandy beach, and unobstructed Lake Erie views create an atmosphere that feels worlds away. Each residence showcases coastal-inspired finishes, vaulted ceilings, open-concept living spaces, and expansive porches designed for lake breezes, sunsets, and effortless relaxation. The owner’s retreat, Unit D, stands apart with high-end interior finishes, a two-car garage, private cabana, and a stunning upper-level gym with floor-to-ceiling windows framing panoramic lake views. This peaceful compound also offers a private fishing pier, 12 boat and jet ski docks, a large paved parking area, and generous green space, delivering a true private-resort experience on the lake. Beyond the four main residences, the property generates additional income through land leases from four beach cottages and the nearby Cask Villa townhomes, enhancing its long-term investment appeal. Each unit has been meticulously maintained, offering privacy while remaining part of a thoughtfully connected lakefront community. Ideally located just minutes from historic downtown Vermilion, known for its charming shops, marinas, and locally loved restaurants, this one-of-a-kind lakefront estate presents endless possibilities. Host generations of family, enjoy a peaceful personal retreat, or capitalize on a highly desirable short-term rental opportunity. Additional details, Matterport 3D tours, photo galleries, and walkthrough videos are available upon request.
