Set on 2.15 private acres with 202 feet of coveted Lake Superior Big Bay shoreline, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 3-bath custom log home captures the essence of North Shore living. Surrounded by mature trees and breathtaking lake views, the property offers a rare combination of privacy, comfort, and connection to the natural beauty of Lake Superior. Authentic log walls, solid oak doors and trim, wood flooring, and in-floor heat create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. Designed to maximize its spectacular setting, nearly every room enjoys a view of Lake Superior. The open-concept main level features a dramatic great room with a massive stone fireplace and soaring two-story windows overlooking the water. The kitchen is both functional and elegant, offering rich pecan cabinetry, granite countertops, a warming drawer, bar seating, and seamless flow into the dining area for easy entertaining. The main-floor primary suite provides a private lakeside retreat with a walk-in closet, jetted tub, and spacious bath. A half bath is conveniently located off the foyer, while the laundry room and pantry create an efficient connection between the kitchen and the attached two-car garage with workshop space. A bright four-season porch opens to an expansive Ironwood deck that stretches along the lakeside of the home. Watch spectacular sunrises, passing freighters, and the ever-changing moods of Lake Superior from one of the property's most exceptional gathering spaces. Upstairs, a versatile loft overlooks the great room below and offers the perfect space for a home office, reading nook, or additional gathering area. Two generously sized bedrooms and a beautifully tiled full bath complete the upper level. The shoreline is equally inviting, with a staircase leading to a beautifully landscaped lakeside setting featuring walking trails, a firepit, and a swing overlooking the water. Nearby Horseshoe Bay provides convenient boat access, while area hiking trails offer endless opportunities to explore the surrounding North Shore landscape. Whether you're seeking a year-round residence, a private getaway, a short-term rental opportunity, or a property to enjoy for generations, this remarkable Big Bay offering captures the very best of life on Lake Superior.
