Now taking 2025 reservations!

PIER 382, located in the center of Syracuse Lake's prestigious North Shore, is a magnificent custom home that takes full advantage of the property's hilltop location providing breathtaking panoramic views of the lake from all three levels.
Essentially a two-story home with a walk-out lower level. As you enter the foyer on the main level, to the right is the laundry/pantry and rec room, straight ahead is a large bedroom, and to the left is the enormous gourmet kitchen, large dining area, turret-sun room, spectacular great room that overlooks and opens onto the main level balcony. Up the wide staircase there are 4 bedrooms upstairs including the Master and the "dormer-room" with it's 8 twin beds.
From the great room, down the equally wide stairs to the lower level, you'll find the family room, a second full kitchen and two bedrooms, including one with the "turrett" designed panoramic views.
Built in 2004, this custom lake home has an inviting open floorplan so often lacking in older lake homes. Over 6,000 sq ft of living space, 7 sleeping areas (6 Large Bedrooms plus the huge Dormer room with 8 twin beds), 4 Full Baths, 3 Full Kitchens.
The main floor kitchen is enormous and very well appointed with virtually every appliance and accessory imaginable. It's not an over statement to call it "gourmet."
Pier 382 is the perfect destination for large family gatherings. The enormous great room w/cathedral ceiling and fireplace is often the center point for the day or evenings activities. The wall of lake side windows offer spectacular views of the lake, and the dining area is set up for large groups and is great for meals or games. Spacious main level balcony creates the perfect place to catch all the action.
Lower / mezzanine level could easily serve as a 2 Bedroom apartment, w/ Full Bath and full kit w/ breakfast bar, family room and private balcony. This area creates that "someplace else" to read, nap or just get away for a bit. Just outside this area is the Lower level Balcony, which has a 6 person bar w/ LP Fire Ring which overlooks the lakeside patio.
Lakeside patio has a new upholstered seating area, Adirondack chairs, lounge chairs and bar w/ stools and refrigerator. We just added a 2nd propane "fire ring" for lake side patio, perfect for those cool evenings. Plenty of room to sit, lounge or sun by the lake.
Syracuse Lake and the surrounding area is perfect for, swimming, boating, fishing, sailing, golfing or just relaxing. The lake is beautiful, the water so clean and clear you can see the sandy lake bottom and even fish swimming by from the balcony above. The lake bottom around our pier in particular is very sandy and shallow out to about the 4th or 5th section which provides a wonderful shallow swimming area for kids and grown-ups a like. Past the 4 section of pier it starts dropping off to about 6-7 feet at the end of the pier. Our pier is a bit longer than most and guests are welcome bring their own boat or rent from local marinas, a few of which will drop off and pick up at the pier.
Syracuse Lake is connected to Lake Wawasee via a channel that goes under the rather low rail bridge on the south side of the lake. NOTE: Guests wishing to boat between the lakes should inquire first, as some boats will not fit under the rail bridge. Both of our speed boats fit under most of the year, but pontoon boats typically will not.
Syracuse lake is an all sports lake with lots of water skiing and tubing. Growing up we lived on Wawasee but preferred skiing on Syracuse because its smaller size.
The North shore of Syracuse Lake is known for its meticulously maintained properties, many of which overlook the lake from a hill. (We like to think of it as the "better part" of the lakes....but we might be biased :) ...or... we might be right!
The town of Syracuse and the surrounding area are quite charming and offer a multitude of activities and attractions.
Pier 382 is not primarily a rental property, this is our family lake home, and we take pride in maintaining it at that level for both ourselves and our guests. All the bedrooms have new (fall '22) beds and mattresses with quality linens. We have a great team of housekeepers that understand and maintain the level of cleanliness we and our guests expect.
We are committed to making your stay fantastic and will go the extra mile to make that happen. Let us know what we can do to make your stay even better. We greet all guests personally to ensure they are familiar with the location and operation of all the amenities the home offers.
