About the Owner
We are Mike and Julie Rothweiler. We live in the city of Chicago. We have a son in college and a daughter finishing her senior year of high school. We've always dreamed of having a lake house as a way to make life-long memories with our family and friends and hopefully keep our kids close as they become adults with their own families someday. This house was built starting in Jan 2018 and was completed and ready for occupancy in October 2020. What attracted us to this lake was its size at 900 acres, its proximity to the beaches of Lake Michigan (St. Joseph Silver Beach) and all the nearby wineries and breweries and fresh produce stands. The lake is spring fed and is an all water-sports lake. It's also a fishing lake with a variety of fish including Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Walleye and Yellow Perch. There is a Yacht Club (members only), a Golf Course and a couple restaurants/bars on the lake as well.
