Welcome to Birch Isle rd, the perfect retreat where you can enjoy the cozy Northwoods winters to the bustling of friends and family on a hot summers weekend. This custom log home is a rare gem. As you arrive through the raw log entry gate down the winding road the home is situated on manicured grounds sprinkled with native mature trees, 420ft of Island Lake, and views to impress. As you enter you are charmed by the clever open floor plan with designated spaces. The kitchen has ample countertop & cabinetry. A tall stone fireplace draws your eyes up to the loft and stunning floor to ceiling wall of windows. Through the French doors is the master suite w/ private bath and a divine soaking tub. For the sunroom spend the morning sipping coffee and watching the neighborhood critters nibble just 100 ft away. The loft sleeps 4 and has a private bath plus unobstructed views of the lake. A main floor bath, owner's entrance, and laundry complete the main level. But that is not all! The understated 2 car garage holds the most impressive workshop and a dog shower! Climb the stairs, outside and open the door to a spectacular guest house that sleeps 8, has a 3/4 bath, game area too. Not your childhood summer camp quarters this is amazing! The sweet planting cottage, raised gardens, snowmobile trails, hiking, water sports, card games and the sunsets. This impeccably maintained property is truly a magical place, one were memories are created. Time for your new life style, you deserve it!
