The property consists of 7 parcels totaling 2.8 manicured acres, with great pole barn to store lawn equipment, boat, collector car, whatever toys you may need. The property has it's own boat launch ramp, so launching at a marina won't be needed. Included as well is an extensive pier system as well as two DNR approved no wake buoys. As mentioned the home was constructed by a Craftsman, so all materials and mechanicals were top notch, and maintained meticulously. The flooring on the main level includes granite entry and hardwood throughout the Livingroom, Kitchen, Breakfast room and the 3 bedrooms on the main level. All ceilings are custom trayed to add volume to each of the already specious rooms. To best experience or describe the rooms, see the pictures or schedule an appointment.

The lower walkout level includes the 4th bedroom, which could be a wonderful home office; a full bath; family room with a full wet bar and access to lakeside patio; a game room; a wheel chair accessible jacuzzi; elevator to main level. The home also has ample unfinished storage/workroom area in the walkout level, as well as a saferoom/storm shelter. There is a 4 car attached garage, full camera security system; intercom system and built in surround sound in the living room. The home has two forced air gas furnaces, two gas hot water heaters, and two 200 amp CB boxes. An early interest of the homeowners was to build a second lakefront home on the property for a relative, so preliminary surveys were prepared showing a potential split of the land, giving the second home approximately 1.3 acres and 62' of lake frontage- copy found in documents. With that, the sellers also brought in underground electric to the house, with ground based transformer that could serve our home and potentially a second home. Also note: There is a gas BBQ grill right off of the kitchen area, and the Barn has a smoker for those who love to cook.
