Family compound with two incredible structures sold turnkey fully furnished! Discover this exceptional Northwoods retreat featuring 109 feet of pristine frontage on beautiful Balsam Lake! Tucked among mature trees with outstanding privacy, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath cabin, along with a custom 36’ x 40’ guest/recreation cabin, offers breathtaking lake views and spectacular sunsets. The main cabin has undergone an extensive whole-home renovation, with much of the interior taken down to the studs and completely rebuilt, creating a like-new retreat with modern finishes and low-maintenance living for years to come. Improvements include new custom knotty alder cabinets with granite countertops, luxury vinyl plank flooring, fresh paint, fixtures, updated finishes, and much more. The guest/recreation cabin features a spacious family room with a custom bar, cozy pellet stove, additional sleeping accommodations, and a stunning bathroom with a tile shower and in-floor heat throughout. Step outside to the professionally designed patio with a firepit and expansive lakeside deck areas, creating the perfect setting for entertaining guests. The new dock is ideal for swimming, relaxing, or casting a line in one of the lake’s outstanding fishing areas. The huge detached 4-car garage and new lakeside storage shed provide ample room for vehicles, boats, and all your lake toys. Balsam Lake connects to Red Cedar Lake and Hemlock Lake, offering miles of boating, outstanding fishing, a waterfront golf course, a popular lakeside restaurant and bar, and endless recreational opportunities. With direct access to ATV and snowmobile trails from your front door, this property is an ideal year-round getaway with excellent rental potential. Most furnishings are included—see the attached list for details.
