::: STR-APPROVED BROWN COUNTY RETREAT ON 5 ACRES WITH PRIVATE LAKE ::: Set on five wooded acres in one of Brown County's most desirable areas, this well-maintained log chalet offers a rare and fully approved short-term rental zoning status, a distinction that has become increasingly difficult to secure under current county regulations. The property has a proven STR performance history and is fully functional for immediate use as a premium destination rental or private retreat. :: A serene private lake with dock and seating area anchors the grounds, complemented by winding paths, outdoor gathering spaces, a firepit area, and multiple thoughtfully placed structures that enhance privacy and the overall guest experience. The main residence is solid, inviting, and rentable today - allowing a new owner to step directly into operation or enjoyment. :: In addition to the primary home, the property includes several non-rental outbuildings that support flexibility of use over time - whether for storage, workshops, private amenities, or owner use. These structures contribute to the estate-like feel that sets this property apart from typical STR offerings. :: With a gated entrance, natural separation from neighboring properties, and zoning security that cannot easily be replicated, this is an opportunity to own a distinctive Brown County property where experience, privacy, and compliance drive long-term value.
