There are three fantastic foreclosure opportunities currently available in the Saugatuck area.
The first is a lot on the outskirts of "the hill" that is much larger than normal lots in Saugatuck. Usually lots are platted at 66' X 132' while this one is 124' X 132'.
This may even be possible to divide this property into two lots (have to check with the City to determine this) with the approval of the City of Saugatuck due to the fact that East Street is platted on the edge of the property but was never extended nor will it be as this is a dead end.
Lots in Saugatuck can go for up to $150,000 so this is really a great deal if you have decided that you just will not be happy unless you build your home and want to be in the City of Saugatuck. Nothing else is available "on the hill" and especially at this price - the asking price is currently $69,000!
The second current opportunity is in the Village of Douglas and just about a block from the Douglas Beach.
This fantastic home was listed a couple of years ago for $589,000. It is a 1978 ranch that was redone "to the nines" by an architect. It is at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and backs up to a golf course with a very secluded back yard. Asking price is - are you ready? - $327,000.
This is a great deal for the four bedrooms and three bath home with 2,268 SF. 
Sorry that the photo is dark but the front of the home faces North and the sun is low in the South in the winter months in Michigan. Although that makes for a dark photo it means that you will get sun in the entire home from the back of the house in the winter.
Couldn't be placed better if you built it yourself!
What an opportunity for someone who has always wanted to have a home in the Saugatuck/Douglas area near Lake Michigan!
Now I come to the best property of all. This home sold for $850,000 a couple of years ago. It is Arts and Crafts and was built in 2002 with 2,833 SF AND IT IS ON THE KALAMAZOO RIVER with 3.8 acres. Very secluded location with custom built-ins, natural stone countertops and tiled bathrooms. Constructed to afford panoramic view of the river. Three bedrooms, 3 baths, 2 fireplaces, cathedral ceilings with an asking price of $729,900.
Although the front shows one level the back - which is on the Kalamazoo River has two floors to make the most of the magnificent view.

I check the paper every week and am aware of several more opportunities that will be coming up as soon as the redemption period expires. I have helped quite a few clients purchase foreclosures. Now is the time to buy!
