Property Description
Discover an extraordinary opportunity to own The Townie Cottages Collection--an exclusive lake town retreat thoughtfully envisioned by Kate Marker Interiors, whose work has been featured in Architectural Digest and Luxe Interiors + Design. Ideally located just steps to Townline Public Beach and Gordon Association Beach. This one-of-a-kind offering captures the essence of Harbor Country living and is just a short walk to downtown Union Pier, as well as the bike and walking path connecting neighboring communities. The prime location allows owners and guests to stroll to local cafés, markets, and boutiques while enjoying the vibrant charm of this sought-after lakeside community. Collectively, the four cottages provide 7 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, and accommodations for up to 22 guests--offering exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living, shared ownership among friends, or premium short-term rental income when not reserved for personal use. Outdoors, experience the relaxed luxury that defines The Townie Cottages Collection, with thoughtfully designed gathering spaces, serene natural surroundings, and immediate access to two of Union Pier's most cherished beaches. Enjoy a resort style pool, inviting outdoor dining areas, chaise loungers, and a sprawling lawn ideal for games, gatherings, and leisurely afternoons in the sun. Each impeccably designed cottage seamlessly blends exceptional livability with understated sophistication. Thoughtful craftsmanship, warm and inviting interiors, and a cohesive coastal aesthetic create a refined yet comfortable retreat. Private features include designer white oak kitchens with state-of-the-art appliances, cozy fireplaces / potbelly stove, dedicated dining spaces, hot tubs, and outdoor showers--ideal for unwinding after a day at the beach.
