About this home
Perched at the highest vantage point on Lake Oakland, this 2020 custom built waterfront retreat was crafted without compromise by a master builder as his personal residence. The elevated setting commands panoramic, unobstructed water views that serve as the focal point from nearly every room. The main level showcases soaring vaulted ceilings accented with custom exposed beams, rich hardwood flooring, a chef’s kitchen with premium stainless steel appliances, and a private first floor primary suite. Upstairs, the thoughtfully designed second level features two spacious bedrooms, one boasting a private ensuite full bath and the other offering its own dedicated half bath. The finished 1,000 square foot walkout lower level functions as an entertainer’s paradise, complete with a wet bar, private sauna, and ample space to easily frame in a fourth bedroom. Mechanical highlights include a whole home reverse osmosis filtration system and an efficient tankless water heater. Step outside to multi tier lakeside Trex decking tailored for summer living, featuring a dedicated tiki bar and prime front row seating for the annual Fourth of July fireworks. Dock your boat with direct access to both Lake Oakland and all sports Woodhull Lake, all just minutes from downtown Clarkston with acclaimed and award winning Clarkston schools!

Michigan caps a homeowner's taxable value until the home sells, then it resets. That's about $2,413 a year more than this seller pays. The assessor's state equalized value (SEV) is $532,200. Your taxable value resets to the SEV the year after you buy, and assessors usually raise it to about half the sale price. Estimate uses Independence Township's 2025 homestead rate of 32.73 mills and assumes you claim the homestead exemption. See Independence Township's full tax breakdown or run the uncapping calculator.
