From the outside, one can only imagine what storybook magic lies in the Charlevoix Mushroom Homes. The four homes are all "touched" by Earl Young, the famous eccentric builder/architect known for his mushroom house, hobbit style home. The main house, known as The Thatch House, rose from the original stone walls set by Earl Young. The new owner, Michael Seitz, reimagined the home with a drawing on a napkin and took nearly two years to redesign and finalize it, specifically the specialized timber work and the trademark thatch roof, shaped like the head of a mushroom. The beautifully flowing roof is crafted from the finest natural thatch hand-reaped in Europe and shipped to the US. Inside, the home features six bedrooms, five and a half baths, as well as a media room and cozy sitting area on the upper level. Other amenities include a washer and dryer, under-floor heating, a large gourmet kitchen with full bar seating and an outdoor grill. The home also hosts family retreats, wedding parties and events of all kinds, always leaving visitors and guests with an enchanting experience.
