A 900-foot driveway winds through a six-acre forest to this impressive chalet-styled home on high demand Red Cedar Lake. The site offers rare privacy and seclusion, with 250 feet of natural landscape lakefront, plus a lagoon to the west which provides an additional 600 feet of waterfront. Of special interest to a buyer is the site's level access to the lake and expansive view of the water, including several islands. The architect-designed, custom home was built in 1993 to take maximum advantage of the water views. The current owners renovated the home in 2018, including adding a 2.5 car detached garage. More recent improvements include a new roof in 2021 and the addition of two pergolas, a hot tub, and redesigned deck and patio area on the lake side. Lake views dominate every room, from the 28x24 vaulted great room with wood-burning stone fireplace, to the kitchen, and large master bedroom with private bathroom. A screened porch overlooks both the lake and the lagoon. The 60+ foot deck/patio can be accessed from the porch, great room and master bedroom. Throughout the home cedar walls, pine ceilings, solid wood six-panel doors and log accents provide a warm, rustic environment from which to view the water and surrounding woods. On the second floor, a loft provides space for an office, children's television area, or relaxation with a different perspective on the lake. A hallway leads to three bedrooms with distinctive cross-gable rooflines. Excellent placement of large windows introduces natural light. A convenient, 3/4 bath is located adjacent to the loft. This unique lake home is immediately north of Rice Lake where excellent medical services are offered as well as other amenities a year-round resident might appreciate. Rice Lake also has a significant airport that can accommodate small jet aircraft. For those who fly, easy and quick access is achieved from any of the major areas such as Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison and Minneapolis – St. Paul.
