Nestled on 6.5 pine studded acres with 369+/- feet of pristine Mitchell Lake shoreline, this stunning new log home offers a rare blend of craftsmanship, comfort, and Northwoods beauty. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by the impressive scale of the Minnesota red pine logs and the meticulous attention to detail throughout this year round home or retreat. The open concept main level seamlessly connects the living room, dining area, and kitchen; ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A striking Virginia slate, wood-burning fireplace anchors the space, rivaled only by the breathtaking north facing panoramic lake views.
