Welcome to 5872 Musky Bay Drive, a peaceful Northwoods retreat offering privacy, wooded views, and a stunning overlook of a quiet pond. This 3BR/1.5BA split-level home sits just minutes from Rhinelander yet feels worlds away. Step inside to a split-entry design—up to the main level with vaulted ceilings, oak hardwood floors, and a bright living room opening to a spacious deck, or down to the lower level with a large family room, brick-surround gas fireplace, and walk-out access. The kitchen includes a gas stove, dishwasher, and refrigerator. Two bedrooms and a full bath are upstairs; the lower level features a third bedroom and half bath with potential to expand. Major updates provide peace of mind with a metal roof, freshly stained cedar siding, boiler (2017), water heater (2019–21), mini-split A/C, and owned water system. With scenic pond views, mature trees, and total privacy, this property is move-in ready and full of potential. Natural gas and high-speed internet available here.
