Overview

Description

One of the last large lots on Lake Michigan, with 158 Feet of Lakefront and Riparian Rights, at the end of a long winding drive through 2+ acres of gorgeous dunes. Just one hour from Downtown Chicago in beautiful Dune Acres. The existing home needs work, but has good bones and solid systems, with five bedrooms and three baths. There are two fireplaces and an indoor swimming pool. This is a magnificent site for your new home or a creative remodeling of the existing structure. Protected from development by the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, Dune Acres has over two miles of its own Town Beach and is served by the award-winning Duneland School System. Located just 1.25 miles from the Dune Park Metra Train Station, with frequent service to Hyde Park and the Loop, this unique lakefront community of only 167 homes is also convenient to the Sand Creek Country Club and the excellent shopping, restaurants and cultural offerings of the Chesterton/Valparaiso Region.
