::: 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.

Beautiful five acre property in Brown County with well maintained two level real log home surrounded by trees with finished basement, custom kitchen. The property includes three two car garages with finished upper levels, small pond, gazebo, potting shed, gated entry and a larger two level two room tree house.
