5 Bedroom House in Michiana, New Buffalo
Just a 3-minute walk from Stop 38 beach, The Ponchartrain is a 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath home with 4,400 sq ft of refined living space. An eclectic mix of art and antiques makes this quintessential Michigan retreat visually inspiring and welcoming. Thoughtfully designed for year-round stay, it features a vaulted great room with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, SubZero and Viking appliances, two laundry areas, a private gym, and a screened porch with a fireplace and serene wooded views.
THE SPACE
The main level opens into a soaring, sunlit great room centered around a dramatic stone fireplace and layered with plush seating and curated art. French doors lead to the screened porch, while the adjacent dining area flows seamlessly into a chef’s kitchen outfitted with SubZero refrigeration, a Viking range, two dishwashers, a wine fridge, and a generous walk-in pantry, perfect for entertaining in every season.
Head upstairs to find a private office that doubles as a charming children’s playroom, offering a quiet space for focused work or imaginative fun.
Each of the five bedrooms at The Ponchartrain offers its own unique personality, ranging from crisp and contemporary to cozy and whimsical while maintaining a calm, restful vibe throughout. With plush bedding, ample natural light, and charming design details like a hanging swing chair, vintage-style iron beds, playful wall art, and cozy reading nooks, every room is a serene escape.

The home’s bathrooms are thoughtfully designed, with details that range from a soaking tub framed by treetop views to sleek walk-in showers accented by bold, artistic finishes. Whether you’re taking a quick rinse or lingering in a warm bath, each space offers a peaceful retreat after time on the lake. A main-level powder room is conveniently located near the living areas, while two laundry areas - upstairs and down - offer added ease for sandy returns or extended stays.
The Ponchartrain offers a mix of outdoor spaces with distinct character. On the screened porch, a wood-burning fireplace pairs with cushioned seating and a vintage game table. Just outside, the dining deck is framed by trees with a grill and umbrella-covered table perfect for delightful meals shared in the open air. Gravel paths lead to a charming white-paneled potting shed, a sweet dedicated space for gardening and seasonal projects, set just beyond the trees.
Located in the Village of Michiana, The Ponchartrain sits just minutes from downtown New Buffalo and within easy reach of Union Pier, Sawyer, and Three Oaks. Spend your days exploring the Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail, browsing farmers markets and art galleries, or dining at favorites like Brewster’s, Timothy’s, and The Stray Dog. Hike the dunes, bike the shoreline roads, or head to the beach for a sunset swim. From summer escapes to cozy winter weekends, this home is well-suited to every season.
