ONE HUNDRED FEET OF LAKE FRONTAGE ON ONE ACRE -- Upon entering Big Bay turn right into a secluded park-like setting, with a view of Lake Independence. Your first glimpse will be a log home with a large, finished garage, a protected walkway to the house and a hint of the log sauna beyond. As you walk around the corner of the oversized garage, you will catch sight of the lake with its loons, eagles and an occasional otter. At the back of the house you will see the large deck, great windows, sauna and woods all around. Colorful sugar maples, blue spruce, vibrant oaks provide privacy and beauty. Upon entering the front door, you will find a place for outdoor wraps and shoes. In front of you will be the open concept living space. Efficient kitchen, dining room, and living room looking onto the large deck with a lake view will welcome you and your guests. The loft is a splendid place to rest and enjoy the rising sun over the water or the northern lights. A bedroom, bath and laundry are on the main floor. The lower level is open to a covered patio, a large versatile room with its own wood stove, wet bar, full bath and storage. Walk from the front porch, through the enclosed breezeway to the garage which gives entry to the guest suite with a full bath, small kitchenette, wood stove and its own stunning lake view. Outside, visit the two room sauna and take a walk down to the sand beach and dock with its 200 feet of frontage. Enjoy the clear, clean water in the protected cove. Return home by walking up the wooded lane. Lake Superior is a short walk away with its own broad beach and harbor. Seeing the house at night is an experience and waking early may allow you a glimpse of a doe and her fawn crossing the yard. A full rainbow over the lake, or a rising full moon will catch one's breath. Experience all four seasons in this magnificent setting -- Spring in all its splendor; Summer with fishing, boating, hiking trails or a quiet meal on the deck watching the wildlife; Autumn brings the glory of the sugar maples with a vivid array of color and nearby hunting for the sports enthusiast; Winter snows cover the landscape in beauty and provides a new opportunity for a variety of activities -- ice fishing off the beach, cross country skiing or sitting by the warm fire gives you a rich experience to enjoy on this unique and secluded property. Pictures can only give you a snapshot of its value. See for yourself by scheduling an appointment today!
