For a while, the owners of the still-visible house had a giant wheel loader that they were using to remove the onslaught of sand and sell it by the truckload until the township put a stop to the commercial use of the property; they weren't licensed to operate as a gravel pit, and there's no licensure process for the opposite of a pit. I believe there's an additional home to the northwest which is completely buried by sand, and can attest that in the 15 years I've been going with my wife's family that the climb up from the culdesac has gotten steeper, and the culdesac is slowly disappearing beneath the sand.
Meanwhile, the famous dunes at the Off-Road Vehicle area have gotten shorter, from 18th Ave south of the lake it used to be impossible to see Lake Michigan.
