Lake Chapin Shores is a new community of 22 homesites located in Southwest Michigan’s Wine Country. The development combines lakeside living on a beautiful 600-acre lake with the cultural amenities that have grown up around the area’s award-winning vineyards. Conveniently located less than two hours drive from the Chicago Loop, the property is close enough for a spontaneous weekend trip, but worlds away from the hustle and bustle of big city life.
Homescape is licensing several of its Cottage Home plans to the developers of Lake Chapin Shores. Homescape is also designing new plans that take advantage of the unique, cliff-like terrain along the lakeside sites.
