If you’ve been dreaming of privacy, nature, and comfort without sacrificing convenience, this one-of-a-kind Northwoods retreat delivers it all. Tucked away in complete seclusion—where you can’t see a single neighbor—yet less than five miles from Rhinelander’s grocery stores, restaurants, and services, this property offers the rare balance of peaceful living and everyday ease. Sunsets here are nothing short of spectacular, and the setting feels like your own private wildlife sanctuary. Loons and trumpeter swans glide along the water, eagles soar overhead, and regular visitors include deer, bear, turkey, blue heron, bobcat, river otters, and even the occasional bunny wandering through the yard. The connection to nature is constant and unforgettable. A grandfathered-in, built-up, dry, drivable road leads all the way down to the water and dock—an incredible feature no longer allowed for new construction, which would require boardwalk access. A new dock was added in 2023, and an additional riverside storage building provides the perfect spot for kayaks, life jackets, or an ATV. Potential snowmobile access may be available via nearby power lines, offering year-round recreation possibilities. Outdoor living is just as thoughtfully designed. A spacious deck with composite flooring is ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The fenced garden includes compost areas, four apple trees, raspberry and blackberry bushes, and established perennials such as crab apple trees, wild roses, lilacs, and hostas—creating beauty through every season. Motion spotlights, multiple exterior lights, and abundant electrical outlets throughout the property add both convenience and security. Garage space is exceptional: a heated 3-car garage with a full bath, plus a second 2-car garage. The main garage features 200-amp service and extensive electrical outlets inside and out. Thanks to a newer boiler, the vehicle parking area now stays around 45 degrees all winter, while the finished “man’s room” and main living areas are comfortably heated. WPS natural gas and electric service average just $218 per month (2025), even with multiple heated spaces kept warm year-round. Spectrum internet ensures reliable connectivity. Inside the home, warmth and quality craftsmanship shine. Large windows throughout bring in natural light and stunning views. Ash hardwood floors, hickory cabinetry in the kitchen and upstairs bath, recessed lighting in the kitchen and hallways, under-cabinet lighting, and lights in closets and showers reflect the attention to detail. The home offers 2+ bedrooms, a finished walk-out lower level, and in-floor zoned heating with six individual thermostats in the house and one in the finished garage space. Additional features include wide 36” interior doors, a spacious laundry room with built-in ironing board and extra cabinetry, generous storage in the utility room, and bonus storage under the stairs. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. Peaceful, private, efficient, and impeccably maintained, this property is a rare opportunity to own a true Northwoods escape that feels worlds away, yet remains close to everything you need.
