This is so much more than a lakefront home. It's an incredibly crafted, thoughtfully designed and artful place in the wilderness on a magical and picturesque lake. You'll love the unique layout with a bedroom/bath/living room on the upper level and an open studio-like design on the main level. You'll love the custom made murphy bed with privacy curtains, the concrete floors, wood burning stove, sturdy and beautiful timbers, a wall of windows to see the gardens and lake at all times and the incredible kitchen you'll be sure to appreciate. The guest cabin is attached to the two car heated garage/laundry. It includes a sleeping loft with a king size bed & space to relax and a main floor open living space, complete with a 3/4 bath and a kitchen. The garage is where you'll find plenty of space to park and the laundry is in the space as well. To top it off, there's a timber frame wood burning sauna with a cozy napping porch attached along w/ sleeping space in the loft of the sauna! There have been many updates and improvements to the property from the boiler to the appliances to the gardens, furnishings and more. Nice to know that the septic system is compliant and the well water is amazing! (Please note that the listing agent is the owner of this absolutely wonderful property.)
