La Maison des Deux Fleurs - - Magnificent Estate Residence

The grounds are lovely and well-tended with informal indigenous plantings; very much in keeping with the rugged Lake Michigan landscape.  The crushed granite driveway and granite capped foundations of the home play off the stone outcroppings of the Niagara Escarpment and towering cedars envelop and stand watch over the spectacular residence.  All of the home's mechanicals are routed under the driveway so there is no venting or other penetration on the hand-split cedar roof.  

For the naturalist, this home is one of just 32 home sites located within the very private and gated community of Marshall's Point.  Each home site boasts at least 10 acres and the owners share a private natural preserve totaling over 500 acres with walking trails, a tennis court, a horse stable, and a three acre inland pond.  Sharing this Eden are a wide variety of birds, many small mammals and a host of woodland wildflowers.

The exterior elevation of cedar and cypress is reminiscent of the stately Michiana coastal homes.  As striking as the home is, it blends seamlessly with the awesome natural waterfront and woodland parcel of land.  With 21 acres of pristine woodlands and nearly 700 feet of rocky shoreline on North Bay, the majesty of the residence is complemented by its setting.
