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. Take the full video tour, browse the complete photo gallery, and explore the 3D walkthrough and floor plans at the listing site to experience the layout, the water frontage, and the beautiful pool— then schedule your private showing.

The finished lower level expands the home's entertaining capacity with a spacious recreation room and impressive wet bar. A new metal roof installed in 2025 adds lasting value and peace of mind, but the grounds are what truly separate this property. From the upper deck, the view unfolds across a peaceful pond set within the grassy meadow. Beyond it, a beautifully defined trail leads through the acreage toward the estate's crown jewel: the Thornapple River. A newly constructed wooden boardwalk and riverside viewing platform extend along the shoreline, creating a remarkable setting from which to enjoy the property's 208 feet of private frontage. Closer to the home, architectural stone steps cascade through natural boulder terracing and low-maintenance river-rock landscaping to a secluded patio beneath the mature forest canopy. This private outdoor sanctuary is anchored by a circular lounge with an integrated fire pit and custom curved brick retaining wall—an exceptional setting for quiet mornings, intimate conversations, or evenings gathered beneath the stars. The river invites kayaking, tubing, fishing, and pontoon excursions toward the dam, while the surrounding acreage provides space to explore, unwind, and experience every season. Nearby recreational opportunities include the Thornapple River corridor, Caledonia Lakeside Park, Cascade Peace Park, and Thornapple Pointe Golf Club. Shopping, dining, and services in Caledonia and Cascade are also within easy reach. Whether entertaining indoors, gathering around the fire, walking the private trail to the river, or launching from your own shoreline, this one-of-a-kind estate delivers the space, natural beauty, craftsmanship, and waterfront lifestyle that are increasingly difficult to find. Private, thoughtfully improved, and distinctly different—this is more than a home; it is a destination.
