Michigan Blue Magazine: Fall 2012

It's hard to believe, but fall is around the corner.  It is the final few days of August, the air each morning now has a crispness to it and trees have a hint of color change on the horizon.  Michigan Blue Magazine has captured the essence of the season in their fall issue.  From a pictorial tour traveling up US Heritage Route 23, to waterfront rustic cabins, it's an entire issue filled with autumn places to visit across the state.  Don't miss our Lakestyle Cottage called the Miramar as well as our back cover ad.  As our "Vision" cover suggests, visit our website gallery for a pictorial tour of the Highfield, the perfect party pad for any season.

Highfield

The Highfield is a luxurious waterfront design, with all the quaintness of a gabled, shingle-style home. The exterior combines shakes and stone, resulting in a warm, authentic aesthetic. The home is positioned around three wings, each ending in a set of balconies, which take full advantage of lake views.

The main floor features an expansive master bedroom with a private deck, dual walk-in closets, and full bath. The wide-open living, kitchen, and dining spaces make the home ideal for entertaining, especially in conjunction with the lower level’s billiards, bar, family, and guest rooms. A two-bedroom guest apartment over the garage completes this year-round vacation residence.
