About this property

The Shire - "There's some good in the world." Winery/Brewery tours available

Nestled on five secluded, tree-lined acres, with a pond, waterfall, fire pit, tree swing, basketball court and walking trails, The Shire feels a million miles away from it all - but isn't! We are only minutes away from wineries, breweries, amazing beaches, restaurants and shopping. (Notre Dame is an easy 30 minute drive).

Southwest Michigan is a beautiful place to live!

We'd LOVE to share it with you.

This is a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom 1,100 apartment located on the backside of the outbuilding on our property - completely out of the sight lines to our home which is about 50 yards away.

We have a pond with a waterfall and a deck to enjoy both. Enjoy the fire pit and tree swing, walking trails and 2 acre open field. There is a 1/2 court basketball, beach supplies in the front closet.

Quaint, Quiet, Quality
We visited The Shire for a mother-daughter weekend to celebrate our mom's 70th birthday. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect location and would love to come back sometime. The Shire is remarkably clean, the beds are very comfortable, and the space in general is very nice. Due to weather we weren't able to enjoy the outdoor activities, but the property is the precise definition of beautiful country living. This home is in close proximity to all of the shopping, dining, and recreation you could want. The hosts sent us a personal message prior to our arrival and made themselves available should we need any assistance. Thank you for opening your beautiful home to us. It was just perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Mike and Lisa

Host profile image
Mike is a retired high school teacher and the lead teacher at our church. Lisa is a former professional beach volleyball player and now coaches. We have just become empty-nesters and are so excited to share our beautiful property with you.

Why they chose this property

The sign was in the yard less than a day when we bought this property - we knew it was just for us! We have hosted Young Life in the barn for years (a Christian youth organization), coached basketball and volleyball and wanted a place for our kids to be able to run and play and fish and ride their bikes away from busy streets. Yet we are only 2 miles from the heart of Stevensville!

What makes this property unique

Southwest Michigan offers so much! The Shire is located less than 5 miles from Lake Michigan, 10 miles from St. Joe, 30 miles from Notre Dame and 90 miles from Chicago. We have dozens of incredible beaches, breweries and wineries as well world class golf courses, amazing shopping and numerous cultural events within 15 minutes!

If you like to walk or bike, our property is surrounded by open roads through hundreds of acres of grapes, and walking and riding trails. We have a 2 acre field great for kicking a soccer ball, playing catch with a frisbee, football or baseball.

There is furnished private deck off of the apartment, and another on the bank of the pond. We also have a grill for the apartment.
