Set on 2.68 wooded acres with 200 feet of frontage on beautiful Alva Lake, this Harshaw retreat offers rare privacy and easy access to both Minocqua and Rhinelander—two hubs of year-round recreation. From the lake-facing sunroom and primary suite, step onto a spacious deck overlooking the water, perfect for coffee at sunrise or gathering under the stars. The home offers main-floor living, warm wood interiors, and an additional room that could serve as a third bedroom or office. A dry boathouse and oversized garage provide plenty of space for boats, tools, and toys, with nearby snowmobile and ATV trails just minutes away. A solid, classic Northwoods lake property ready for its next chapter. Fires in the fireplaces are added digitally to the photo.
