MINIMALIST'S DREAM: a beautifully secluded yet accessible island with a cozy, craftsman-built cabin on North Crab Lake, located in the heart of "Wisconsin's Last Wilderness," namely Presque Isle, Wisconsin (www.presqueisle.com). To enhance this island's accessibility and value, over a 100 feet of owner-owned shoreline with deeded access to nearby Town Dock Road is included in the purchase price, as a separate and essential land parcel. Instead of neighboring pontoon and speed boat noise, the islander would be surrounded by protective and shimmering blue waters, majestic trees, white billowing clouds, gentle migratory birds and star-filled nights providing the wondrous peace and solace of Nature's serenity. Wisconsin DNR's description of pristine North Crab Lake includes "a 59 acre lake located in Vilas County. It has a maximum depth of 35 feet. Fish include Musky, Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike and Walleye ... a Deep Lowland lake, this [water quality] is considered Excellent. Deep Lowland lakes stratify, or form separate layers of water, during the summer months and have watersheds greater than 4 square miles in area." The island cabin is nestled among majestic, towering pines. This intimate cedar cabin features a cathedral ceiling, two cozy lofts, Pella doors and windows, a ceramic wood burning stove, electrical wiring and outlets inside and out with an accommodating generator receptacle. The cabin is fully insulated and insured; definitely ready to be enhanced by the personal tastes and preferences of the new owner as a one-of-a-kind island getaway. To emphasize its privacy, North Crab Lake has no public boat landing. At times, Loons and other large migratory birds may visit and nest nearby in this serene, quiet area. A navigable (by canoe, kayak and small boat), picturesque stream joins one of the most beautiful lakes in Wisconsin's Last Wilderness, 946 acre Crab Lake, with its smaller sibling. Fishing, Nature watching and wondrous joys await! For existing Vilas County property owners, the island would serve as an exclusive holding to enhance any on-water or off-water private residence. Overall this rare opportunity is a very private getaway for an avid Nature-lover. In addition, the Seller also owns a rare, 6 acre peninsula property on adjoining Crab Lake with 1,000 feet of picturesque frontage, which could serve as the home base and perfect complement to this island property. The Crab Lake property, which is not listed, has a vacation home with full basement, detached 2-car garage, private boat landing, and beautiful view of Lynx Bay - the premier and deepest part of Crab Lake. The owner would consider an offer for a combined property purchase only by the most serious buyer. The Crab Lake property alone was appraised at $950,000 in 2007 but the severe 2008 recession has reduced the combined values of all three properties to $850,000. However, given the robust recovery, many lake property values are on the rise. Crab Lake's uniquely amazing topography is evidenced by this Wisconsin DNR Contour Map: (http://dnr.wi.gov/lakes/maps/DNR/2953500.pdf).
