Property Description

A story of one of the North’s “French Riviera” gems—this is a past and present treasure. As you meander down the long driveway, a sense of peace takes over. Towering pines and old-growth forest provide complete privacy. Once part of the French River’s famous Sand Beach Lodge, this property dates back to the 1930s as a private retreat for the Seagram family. It later became a celebrated luxury fishing resort before being divided into private parcels. Today, you can own a piece of that history. Set on approximately 3.3 acres along the most desirable stretch of the Lower French River, this offering features 275 feet of pristine sandy beach widely known as the best beach and fishing in the area. Whether a family compound or income-generating retreat, the possibilities are endless with five self-contained structures. The main lodge spans over 5,600 sq ft across two levels, blending rustic charm with modern updates. Wood beams, original stone fireplaces, multiple gathering spaces, a wet bar, coffee bar, and large windows showcase stunning water views. The renovated kitchen offers ample storage, informal dining, and outdoor access. The primary wing includes a study, screened cigar room, bedroom, ensuite, and laundry, while the upper level hosts two bedrooms and a bath. The two-story boathouse adds exceptional living space with three bedrooms, kitchen, games room, and screened-in views. Three turnkey cottages—The Chef’s Cabin, Chateau Goodnuf, and Wolves Den offer additional accommodations, each with its own charm. A tiki bar, fish cleaning hut, outbuildings, and expansive screened-in lanai complete the experience. This is waterfront utopia a rare, legacy property. You will be captivated... and never want to leave.
