I have to admit when ever I hold an open house that is located on the Thornapple river, I am always wishing I was the one on the pontoon boat that is passing by; instead of the one watching it!  It just looks like so much fun and a great way to spend the day.

I love when the weather is turning, as a storm is rolling in and the waves get big, the trees sway from side to side…..it gets a little spooky, but I like it!

I also enjoy the warm sunny days, when you can ride on your pontoon boat or have a ton of fun on Jet Ski’s!  The river seems to go on for ever so you never want to come back in side.

Now I am not really your out doors type of gal…………but I do enjoy water sports.  However the fishing I hear is great!  Many people who own properties on the Thornapple can fish right out their back door.

All shape and sizes (and price points) can be found on the River.  My husband and I toured many areas of the Thornapple and found that where ever you are, what ever the price point, a sense of community is to be found.  I liked that even thou you may have a home on 5 acres – the neighbors all still know each other and visit.

What is the most amazing to me is the country side that surrounds most of these properties.  The wild life that can be view from your front window is priceless.  I have to think people who home school have no problem finding subjects for science and biology as it is right out side.

I am a city girl, so yes these things amaze me as if I am seeing them as a child would for the 1^st time.  Wild turkey……….YEP you may find wild turkey.  I thought they just came frozen from the D&W!  I had one cross my path and it scared me………….I laugh about it now.  The deer is so much fun to watch………..better then a fish tank………..and every great while you may find an eagle flying over head.

What a great place to live………….Michigan offers so much and such a variety of choices.  If you are moving to this area, you may want to check out homes near the Thornapple – as it is like no other.
