Description

Lazy Days on the Manitowish Chain – A Rare Northwoods Legacy Property. Opportunities of this scale rarely become available on the Manitowish Chain. Welcome to Lazy Days, an exceptional waterfront retreat offering the flexibility of a private family compound, corporate retreat, boutique hospitality property, or established income-producing resort investment. Situated along the scenic Trout River between Alder Lake and Manitowish Lake, Lazy Days consists of four beautifully crafted luxury cottages, each featuring 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, open-concept living areas, fireplaces, screened porches, and quality finishes throughout. With a total of 16 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, and four private two-car garages, the property comfortably accommodates large family gatherings, multiple generations, special events, retreats, or continued rental operations. The Manitowish Chain is one of Wisconsin's premier recreational lake destinations, featuring more than 4,000 acres of interconnected waters, over 40 miles of shoreline, exceptional fishing, and endless opportunities for boating, kayaking, swimming, and waterfront dining. Spend the day exploring the chain's restaurants, marinas, and gathering spots before returning to your Northwoods retreat. The property offers 200 feet of frontage along the Trout River with multiple dock spaces, maintained grounds, outdoor gathering areas, and convenient access to the entire chain. Designed with an emphasis on quality craftsmanship, efficient operation, and reduced long-term maintenance, Lazy Days provides the comforts of luxury lakefront ownership without many of the challenges associated with older resort properties. Whether your vision is a multi-generational family legacy property, a boutique vacation destination, or combining personal enjoyment with investment income, Lazy Days presents a unique opportunity in one of Wisconsin's most sought-after waterfront markets. Properties of this size, quality, and versatility are impossible to find.
