Originally built in 1939 by the Ford Motor Company as an entertainment venue for its executives and their families, this Japanese-style “Pagoda House” is a party host’s paradise. While not all of it is modern, the 10,000-square-foot waterfront estate masterpiece sits on the Detroit River in a location in Grosse Ile known for its tranquility and picturesque views.
It offers ample space for gatherings, with a large living room and dining room, along with a wrap-around deck.
Inside, you’ll also find elegant interiors featuring gold leaf koi and dragon motifs, vaulted ceilings that create an open atmosphere, a mahogany-paneled library with a natural fireplace, and unique paint colors and tiling.
The property also includes an on-site horse barn and two indoor boat wells providing easy access to boats for any enthusiasts of fishing and water activities.
The Ford waterfront estate holds historical significance as a part of American automotive history. It was sold for $174,000 in 2006 and restored by the new owners before being listed this past June for $989,900. It was relisted at a lower price on Sept. 23.
