A lifelong lakeshore enthusiast, Brian Bosgraaf has built his career around a passion for design, construction, and lakefront living. In 2000, he founded Cottage Home, a design-build firm known for its award-winning craftsmanship and commitment to sustainable building practices, including numerous LEED-certified custom homes along the Lake Michigan shoreline. His thoughtful, client-focused approach has helped hundreds of families create homes that reflect both their lifestyle and the natural beauty of the coast.
Recognizing the need for expert guidance in lakefront real estate, Brian launched Cottage Home Realty in 2012. Drawing on decades of design and building experience, he provides buyers and sellers with unique insight into the intricacies of shoreline property—from zoning and bluff restoration to build-versus-renovate decisions. Brian’s goal is simple: to help every client find or create a lakefront home where their family can build lasting memories for generations.
