About This Home

As of April 2026

There are places you visit, and then there are places that quietly convince you to stay. This property is the latter - a stunning lake home nestled into the heart of the Wisconsin Northwoods that delivers the kind of peace and everyday beauty most people only experience on vacation. From the moment you drive onto the property, you'll sense that something special awaits you. This is more than a house. This is the life you've been imagining. Set in one of the most desirable area of Washburn County, this four-bedroom, three-bath home offers a rare combination of refined interior living and breathtaking natural surroundings. Sit on the large lakeside deck to enjoy your coffee in the mornings or cocktails in the evenings. The beautiful, custom kitchen is ready for family gatherings or get-togethers with friends. Sit by the wood fireplace to stay cozy in the winter. Whether you're searching for a year-round family residence, a legacy lake property for generations to come, or a weekend escape that feels worlds away from the demands of daily life, this home rises to meet every expectation - and then quietly exceeds them.
