Property Description
Near the end of a quiet year-round maintained road, nestled along the shore of a lake that curves like a hidden bay, stands a handcrafted Koski log home—a rare example of craftsmanship that's becoming increasingly hard to find. Skilled log home builders are few and far between these days, which makes this place not just a home, but a piece of artistry. Built with tight joinery and precision, the home rises with a 21-foot vaulted ceiling that frames Lake Superior. From most windows, you're drawn to the expansive views—Rabbit Island off in the distance, the Huron Mountains beyond, and the broad sweep of Lake Superior at your feet. This home was designed for both beauty and function. The pebble shoreline (sandy sometimes) stretches into a long beach made for quiet walks. A durable metal roof tops the structure, and the detached garage, built around 2012, features 10-foot walls and an upstairs storage loft. The kitchen is plumbed in for a dishwasher. A spacious seasonal room was added beneath the deck, and the exterior decking itself has been replaced. Inside, a high-end Heatilator wood fireplace with a blower fan serves as the heart of the living space, supported by three heating options: propane forced air and electric baseboards, and a heat pump mini-split (also serves as AC). Throughout the home, you'll find high quality finishes—maple floors underfoot, mahogany doors at the entry, and custom-built log stairways that tie it all together. The main-floor bedroom is currently set up as an office, while a loft workspace above provides sweeping lake views and a quiet place to work or reflect. Downstairs, the walk-out basement is well thought out, with a den perfect for movie nights, a home gym, and a bath with sauna. Outdoors, a nearby bush roads lead out, opening up miles of terrain for snowmobiling and ATV adventures. Built on about 200 loads of fill, the home has excellent drainage, and drain tile has been installed around the basement—another sign of the thoughtful planning that went into its construction. Much of the furniture and décor, along with practical items like a generator, snowblower, and lawnmower, are included. Winterization is simply if needed, about a 10 minute process.This isn't just a property—it's a retreat. Solid, secluded, and built to last.
