Spectacular Manitowish Lake lot that includes 3700 sq. ft. of island accessed by a picturesque footbridge, so spectacular in fact, that you may not at first even notice the 2 BR 2 BA four season cottage with its large screened porch and (again) spectacular views. Southeast facing sand frontage on a level lot. This is a property that causes folks on the lake to slow down to take a closer look at it when they go by -- and wish it was theirs. The gorgeous open water view is enhanced by the Massive White Pine on the island. The LR features a vaulted ceiling, knotty pine paneling, and a wood burning FP. Large divided bedroom with 1/2 bath, plus a second bedroom with full bath across the hall. Detached 1+ car garage with laundry facilities, paved drive, and large woodshed. Includes 2 plus acres of land across the street that adjoins state land for a total of 4 acres. Great location -- it is literally in the "center of it all" of the recreational paradise that is Manitowish Waters.
