Tucked at the end of a quiet private street in Caledonia Township, 6155 Oakmont Landing SE delivers something increasingly rare in West Michigan: 201 feet of private Thornapple River frontage on a wooded 2.5-acre sett. This is the kind of property that lets you disappear into the woods and water on a Tuesday evening, then be at the airport, downtown Grand Rapids, or the boutiques and restaurants of Ada in less time than it takes to finish your coffee. The aerial footage in the video gallery tells the story before you even step out of the car — this is a true riverfront estate, with a private dock, expansive water frontage, boathouse, and mature tree cover that frames the Thornapple River like a postcard. Whether it's morning kayaking, evening fishing, or simply watching the current roll by from your own private deck, the water frontage here is the centerpiece of daily life on Oakmont Landing. Step inside and the 3600+ square feet of finished living space is thoughtfully arranged across a contemporary, main-level-primary layout — ideal for buyers who want one-level living with room to host others. The main level features the primary suite, a second bedroom, 2 half baths, an open kitchen with a center island, pantry, main floor laundry, plus a living room anchored by a cozy fireplace. Floor-to-water sightlines and multiple living areas — living room, dining/kitchen sitting area, and a lower-level recreation room — give everyone room to spread out. A third bedroom with private ensuite, sits privately on the upper level, and a fourth bedroom and full bath, rec room, media/flex room and plenty of storage, occupy the walkout lower level, which opens directly onto the wooded, riverfront grounds. Outside is where this property truly separates itself from the pack. Starting with the oversized 35x30 extra garage/outbuilding, continuing with an inground 40 x 20 saltwater pool, outdoor entertaining and pool-side living, giving you the kind of resort-style yard that's almost impossible to find on a private river lot this size. Paired with the whole-yard fencing, gated entrance, a deck for morning coffee overlooking the water, this is a property built for both quiet river mornings and full-scale summer entertaining. And that commute is the quiet superpower of this address. In just minutes, homeowners here get the shopping, dining, and daily conveniences of one of Grand Rapids' most retail robust corridors without living on top of it. From here, it's a fast, direct shot to every major highway — I-96, M-6, and beyond — putting downtown Grand Rapids, Ada, East Grand Rapids, and the lakeshore communities of Grand Haven and Holland all within easy reach; making this an ideal base for frequent travelers, second-home owners, or anyone who values being close to the airport.
