Bathrooms are on every level - Basement w/shower; main level - powder room and master bath; and upstairs bedrooms have a common bathroom with a very large soaking tub and shower. Master bath has an enormous whirlpool in it.There are three outdoor seating areas --- Stone patio in the front of the house; upstairs, second level deck that wraps around the entire house, excepting the (Westerly) facing porch, which is a three-season screened-in porch attached to the house - screen door to the deck, entry door to the house, and window to the kitchen. The front and side yards are grass - about 1.5 acres. The back/side yard is fenced (picket 4') and has a firepit with natural stone bolder seating. The property has a flat circular drive, will fit 6 cars easily in the summer; in the winter there is plenty of room for 3+ vehicles towing trailers - importantly - a FLAT, WIDE PARKING AREA - you will not find a single location like this in the area. Think about this - it matters.The lake access "outlot" is located about 500 yards west of the property. This is a .6 acre wooded lot with an access path to the private dock. The dock is 96' into the lake, 2.5'-3' depth at the end, horseshoe slip with tie-up lines. A large golf cart is provided as are two kayaks, 5-seat table at the dock. The house is situated on 10 acres of land. There are marked trails for hiking - some decently steep climbs up/down - a beautiful piece of land. Access to the trail system directly from the property via Sleds/ATVs/UTVs.There are a lot of animals that trek through the property on a regular basis -- Deer, Black Bear, Fox, Bobcat, Raccoons, etc. An amazing array of birds, including humming birds.The street is very, very quiet - hardly a sound in the evening. All adjacent properties are of a similar size - single family homes of a similar 'cabin in the woods style'. It's 2.3 miles to the town of St. Germain - you'll find the basics there - grocery, gas, coffee and restaurants, sporting goods stores, hardware store, bait and tackle and boat/ATV/snowmobile rentals. There are two excellent restaurants within a half mile/mile of the property.I think we’ve thought of everything (!). Key take-aways: Don’t under-estimate the value of 4 bathrooms; A heated 3-car garage is so nice; HeatTrak snow melt mats are a joy; In the Northwoods your property has to have backup power; The dock is amazing; the fenced-in backyard w/firepit is a must for summer evenings.
