A Picture Perfect Setting on pretty little Benson Lake (part of the Manitowish River system) is home to this large 4000 sq. ft. 4 bedroom / 4 bath custom built ranch home nestled among a grove of towering pines. Located just a little north of Manitowish Waters on the end of a town, this very private 2.66 acre site affords a very gentle slope to the water's edge, and 614' of southwestern facing frontage. Benson Lake is almost entirely state owned, so beautiful nature is in abundance, and the fishing is as good as it gets in northern Wisconsin. You can even boat 20 miles to the Flambeau Flowage. The large house includes a lovely fieldstone fireplace, knotty pine cathedral ceilings, 3 season porch, waterfront decks, walkout finished basement, spacious 2 + car attached garage, family rec room, main floor laundry, a large office, a new dock, and large bright windows to always see the bountiful wildlife, and shimmering waters. A great family legacy property perfect for entertaining.
