Born in Detroit, Frank spent more than 45 years working in the automotive and manufacturing industries. After beginning his career with General Motors, Frank spent 30 years at Ford Motor Company. He then shifted from manufacturing to the components industry where as CEO of Continental Structural Plastics, he engineered a turnaround at the company from the brink of insolvency to a sale in 2017. A pillar of the community, Macher was an avid philanthropist to various causes including Munson Healthcare Charlevoix Hospital and Charlevoix Community Food Pantry.

Now this incredible property, with 3 acres on the sandy north shore of Lake Charlevoix’s coveted Raspberry Bay will be offered at auction beginning May 31st. The design of the home put great emphasis on creating livable outdoor spaces that could be enjoyed year-round, as well as impeccable landscaping that would complement the property’s pristine surroundings. Endless serenity is enjoyed from the outdoor stone fireplace and pavilion, overlooking a 600-foot stream with a series of tranquil waterfalls that flows directly into a private pond. The property also boasts a 230-foot permanent dock with 2 boat lifts and expansive sun deck.

Equally remarkable is the home’s interior, which was designed to maximize the water views throughout, as well as include all the comforts to make this home a favorite retreat. The 7 bedroom, 8 full and 2 half bathroom, home showcases three levels of master craftsmanship connected by a dazzling 30+ foot spiral staircase. The main level owner’s suite is a retreat all its own with a spa-like master bathroom, two fireplaces, spacious dual closets, and wide lake views. An open layout Chef’s kitchen with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances is a natural gathering spot, flowing seamlessly into an integrated family room, dining area and a sunroom with heated floors, pizza oven and Wolf grill. Extended guests will feel at home in the separate apartment or in-law suite above the 4.5-car garage, complete with a full kitchen and living area.

The lower walkout level of the home is a central hub for entertaining and is complete with a theater room, exercise room, 2,000-bottle wine cellar, and a recreation room with a Malaysian-imported bar. Generously equipped, the property also features state-of-the-art technology including Creston controls, a fully integrated security system, stereo/surround sound throughout, and a backup generator.
