Wildhaus Retreat | Hot Tub • Private Walking Trail
Summary:
Tucked into 10 private wooded acres just minutes from downtown South Haven, Wildhaus is a design-forward 2,500+ sq. ft. retreat with natural walking trails surrounding the property, soaring ceilings, a gorgeous island & chef’s kitchen, game garage, spacious fenced-in yard, and serene views throughout. Enjoy direct Kal-Haven Trail access, space to relax or work remotely, and high-speed 2GB fiber optic internet perfect for streaming, gaming, or Zoom calls.
The Space:
Ideal for families, creatives, and nature lovers alike, Wildhaus sits at the top of a private shaded drive nestled among the trees. Secluded and serene, you'll feel safe from the hustle-and-bustle while only being minutes from South Haven’s beaches, shops, and top restaurants.
Wildhaus welcomes guests with its soaring ceilings, dramatic walls of windows, warm wood finishes, and panoramic forest views throughout the home. The open-concept Great Room centers around a beautiful stone fireplace, flowing into a fully equipped chef's kitchen featuring granite countertops, high-end appliances, a walk-in pantry with a second refrigerator, and everything needed for preparing memorable meals together. The design-forward master suite features its own double-sided fireplace shared with the spa-inspired ensuite bathroom, creating the perfect retreat after a day of exploring. Dedicated workspace and fast WiFi make it easy to work remotely while enjoying the calm setting.
Outside, you'll find ten private wooded acres to explore, including a quarter-mile walking trail where deer and wild turkeys are frequent visitors. The fully fenced backyard offers plenty of space for kids and dogs to play, while the patio is perfect for al fresco dining beneath the trees. After a day at the beach or exploring South Haven, unwind in the hot tub or head to the game room for pool, ping pong, foosball, darts, and hours of family fun.
