A rare opportunity to own an extraordinary Northwoods retreat where luxury, privacy, and endless possibilities converge.

Quartzite flagstone flows from the welcoming front porch into the home, while the gourmet kitchen features premium appliances, a walk-in pantry, and dedicated workspace. A stunning see-through fireplace connects the great room and primary suite, and the luxurious primary bath includes a soaking tub. 2 screened porches that open to a spacious deck, offer expansive views of the lake and property.
