Within two (2) hours of Chicago, the community of Lake Chapin Shores flows along the lake and weaves among old-growth trees. It rises up in rolling hills and scenic bluffs, and runs down to the waterside. It shelters wildlife in protected conservation areas, and 21 fortunate human families. Every exceptional home on its own lakefront, lakeview and wooded sites has access to the lake, our pool, deck, private beach, and common areas on the waterfront. More than a summer home, more than a vacation home, your haven on Lake Chapin Shores is the place where all your best family memories are waiting to be born.

At Lake Chapin Shores, the water’s just a few steps away. Each of our 21 lakefront, lake view and wooded homesites has access to beautiful Lake Chapin and our private beach, with the option of a dock and boat slip. Common land along the waterfront offers plenty of room for casual entertaining. Beyond Lake Chapin, you can fish and boat on nine miles of St. Joe River, take a short ride west to Lake Michigan’s best beaches, and explore the woods, bluffs and dunes that make Southwest Michigan unique. Here in Wine Country, award-winning vineyards are making a play for world-class status. Many wineries offer tours and tastings, and some have fine restaurants where dinner/wine pairings are nothing less than inspired. Like our vintages, life here just gets better with every season.
