Back over the hills, inland from Superior, secluded and quiet, lies Pike Lake, running about 3 miles east to west. Mostly surrounded by public land, it is pure and cool! And properties just don’t become available very often. Here on the very east end is a lake home in a locale that is just about perfect! Sweeping views down the entire lake shift and twinkle below the boreal skies, each evening aglow with the western sun. Don’t just take my word on location - an otter will tell you the small creek that is the border of this property is an ideal place to hunt year-round over the sandy bottom. Yes, sand! Great for humans to swim and otters like a creek for a bit of open water well into winter. Kingfishers chatter happily in this area, taking crayfish and demonstrating their unique “deshelling” out on the dock posts. The home is nestled among 4.75 acres of the cast you’d expect: birch, cedar, spruce, mountain ash – lots of room here! Two bedrooms, including the main with ample space. Living room, kitchen and dining are good friends hanging together in the Northwoods. Woodstove in the living room unharnesses stored sun in the depth of winter. The kitchen is custom cabinets-o-plenty and can support chanterelle mushroom souffle, juneberry muffins, walleye cakes, all the northern delights. Pantry can handle a Costco run! Dining area is a big ol’ table of fun, food and family. Windows! So many windows, inviting the moods of the forest - cracked open they allow in lake sounds and tree-top susurrations to smooth the dreaming mind. Upstairs is an area to make your own: all glass, overlooking the lake, spilling onto an upper deck – is it your office, meditation room, crafts, overflow for visiting family and friends? Make it your own: a place for reading, practicing the instrument, studying maps for the next adventure… Below is a roomy deck for outdoor living and just around the corner a wood-fired hot-tub! She-shed awaits, wood storage structure, too, and a spanking new garage all bolster a Northwoods’ life. Current owner has lovingly maintained, so new owner can start fresh! Utility, laundry and storage room is sensibly sized and handy. Location, right!? Eagle knows it, likes the long vantage over the entire lake. Raven enjoys the little creek, too, picks scraps from the otters. Two families of loons this year on Pike! Mergansers keep their broods by this type of frontage. Northern Enlightenment, that’s the practice here, not theory. It’s happening now.
