The Reserve at Crystal Lake is a 160-acre exclusive luxury community built around a private 40-acre lake, available for use only by the people who live here.
That means no strangers at your beach. No public launch crowds your view on a summer Saturday. Just your neighbors, your kayak, and the lake.
The community has 203 premium home sites. Many sit directly on the water. Others are set back with a view of the lake through beautiful landscaping. Every homeowner gets the same access to the private beach, beach house, boat launch, and kayak and canoe storage, regardless of where the home sits.
Not every waterfront buyer is the same. Here is who tends to thrive at The Reserve.
Existing waterfront homes in Commerce Township have charm, mature landscaping, and sometimes a good price per square foot on paper. What they also have is hidden wear. Aging mechanics. Seawalls that need work. Roof lines that predate modern energy codes. Plenty of buyers find out about those costs only after closing.
Buying new removes most of that guesswork. You pick the floor plan, the exposure to the lake, and the finishes. The home is delivered with a builder's warranty, the latest and greatest insulation, and a full stack of premium inclusions out of the box.
Every plan at The Reserve is designed for lake living, not just to sit on a lot. Rear elevations, great rooms, and expansive windows are oriented to pull in water views. Here is a quick look at the four current plans.
2025 Blue Ribbon Award winner from the Home Builders Association of Southeastern Michigan. 2,995 square feet, three bedrooms, two and a half baths, two and a half car garage. Luxurious and spacious first-floor owner’s suite. The rear elevation is built for lake views with an open great room and tall windows.
2024 Blue Ribbon Award winner and the largest plan at roughly 3,100 square feet. Four bedrooms, two and a half baths, three-car garage. A good match for families who host weekends by the water.
2,820 square feet, four bedrooms, and the flexibility to add a third full bathroom upstairs creating an en suite bedroom, an optional first floor in-laws suite, or a spacious second floor loft. Works well for multigenerational living or a dedicated guest wing.
Craftsman-inspired, with flex room options that are ideal for a lakeside home office, a hobby room, or a morning yoga space overlooking the water.
Every plan can be personalized. Covered patios, loft conversions, in-law suites, and flex rooms are common upgrades.
The lake is the headline. The rest of the community is what makes daily life here easy.
Private beach, beach house, and restrooms for residents.
Private boat launch is reserved for homeowners, not the public.
Think of it this way. You get a private lake for swimming and paddling, plus a state recreation area for hiking and fishing, without getting in the car.
VA construction loans are a specific product. Not every lender handles them well. Our preferred lender does. That matters when the appraisal and inspections need to line up with the build schedule.
