Experience Fox Woods! This lovely custom home is perched on a hill overlooking one of Antrim County's jewels...Green Lake.

Rugged stone and warm natural wood grace Fox Woods from the inside out. The interior and exterior feature the warm cozy feeling of wood, it has expansive views from the deck allowing breathtaking pastoral views of the surrounding lake. The tastefully decorated interior and great room area is inviting complimenting a majestic two-story floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, you will feel right at home. The interior look is completed with a custom log stairway and cedar railings. A favorite place for family portraits.

With beautiful furnishings and attention to detail, this home provides the perfect retreat for you and your family!

Located on the northwest side of the state about 30 min NE of Traverse City. We have hosted families from California, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin...Canada and every one of them have found it worth every minute it took to get to this perfect destination.  In 2004 while exploring the area, Patrick and I happened across this little lake.  We dumped in our little zodiac and went on a 'cruise'. We fell in love. We came back a second and third time and met one of the folks who own a home in the 3 Lakes Club community and started asking questions. There was a lot for sale...

 We decided that this is the area we want to retire to...so we took the leap bought that lot. In 2007 we started to build our 'dream home'. Like a lot of folks these days our retirement plans have been bumped into the future a few years. In the meantime, we enjoy sharing our home with family and friends and those who have the same respect and appreciation for Northwest Michigan as we do.

The area is well wooded and gated, so it is safe. It is brimming with wildlife.  Deer, Fox, Turkey...even Eagles snagging fish from the lake are a common sight.

In the summer there is kayaking, paddle boating, fishing and hiking or my favorite...just enjoying the peace and quiet with a good book on the deck.

In the winter downhill skiing is less than 10 minutes away, cross country skiing & snowshoeing right outside the door. There are snowmobile trails all over and Antrim County, which also allows travel by machines on all shoulders of the roads to get to  those miles and miles of groomed trails. Of course, at the end of the day there is nothing better than enjoying the perfect snow and warmth in front of a fire with family and friends.

One of our guests described it as "idyllic"...and we can't seem to find a better word.

Our guests enjoy spectacular views from every room whether it is the reflection of trees on its glassy surface or frozen and snow covered in the winter. You will find Fox Woods is breathtaking at all times.

It was the main reason we chose this spot.

We always encourage exploration in the area and hope that you find the time visit Torch Lake, Clam Lake, Lake Bellaire, Intermediate Lake, Grand Traverse Bay, Petoskey and the East Jordan River Valley, all which offer beautiful clear water and the 'excitement' of larger lakes. The Grass River area is gorgeous Natural protective area and connects Bellaire Lake to the Clam Lake and leads to Torch Lake...in fact, all of the lakes lead to the Grand Traverse Bay. This area is well known as the "Chain of Lakes"

We visit often and spend time on Green Lake as well as the other beautiful lakes in the area. In fact, we keep our Zodiac close at hand for exploring the region. In the many years we have been in this area, we have not run out of new places to explore. There are plenty of activities to enjoy all year round.

However you spend your time here. You will fall in love with Michigan and Fox Woods.

...thank you for visiting.

Patrick & Gina Fox

Green Lake enjoys protective covenants how it looks now, is how it will always appear, we and the other residents and property owners take great pride in its crystal clear water and naturally pristine shorelines.

We ask that you respect the lake, the property and our neighbors should you spend time at our home.
