A true Northwoods retreat, this century-old log home blends historic character, thoughtful updates and exceptional privacy on 40 wooded acres surrounded by national forest on three sides. The original log home features a charming living room with a wood-burning stone fireplace, an enclosed porch and a spacious modern kitchen. Later expansions added a generous dining room with wood stove, three bedrooms, two baths and a walkout lower level with family room and additional bath. A more recent sunroom addition opens to an outdoor deck overlooking the yard, woods and quiet forest setting beyond. The former farmstead includes a collection of useful and character-filled outbuildings, including a rustic guest cabin, detached four-car garage, small horse barn and large metal storage building. The acreage offers room for private trails, hunting, wildlife watching and year-round outdoor enjoyment. Public trails for cross-country skiing, mountain biking, snowmobiling and ATV riding are nearby, along with convenient access to boat landings on Diamond Lake, Crystal Lake and Lake Namekagon. A distinctive property offering space, privacy, recreation and classic Northwoods appeal.
