    What's special

    Step off the beaten path and walk into your private riverfront property at the Deadstream Wilderness Lodge. Sitting on over 2000 ft on a peninsula of private river frontage and over 5 acres of land this property is the definition of peace and serenity.With over 4500 sq ft of living space, 8 bedrooms and 10 baths this is the perfect set up for a large family retreat, Bed &breakfast, or rehab facility, the opportunities are endless! Also on the property sits 2 old school houses that are able to be transformed into extra living quarters. For all your property maintenance equipment there are two pole barns as well. The lodge itself has even more to offer! The main level has a large open four season room with beautiful views of the river and the hunting lands behind it. Off the living room is what we call the waterfall room with a bar and fully functional landscaped waterfall! Just down the hall is the converted garage that is now a man cave with a pool table and more. Almost all the room shave their own full bath or a full bath very close which makes it the perfect set up for a bed and breakfast. There is beautiful wood flooring through out most of the home and a couple of the rooms have private balcony's with outstanding views of the river. Connected to the house is a possible rental apartment that holds another full kitchen/living room with 2 beds and 2 full baths. Step outside and you'll find two built in brick paved fire pits, a gazebo on the river, and a landscaped stream and pond.There's two docks to fish off of, a fish cleaning station, and if you'd rather hunt deer the property backs up to Deadstream swamp which is a hunter's paradise and covers over 500,000 acres of wilderness! Not all the bedrooms and baths are fully finished. All plumbing is in place. With a little more work and your own added touch this could be your private wilderness lodge or amazing rental income property. Call today to schedule your private tour of this one of a kind oasis! ** ATTENTIO
