What's special
There is just not enough allowed space for all of the photos that we wanted to share and not enough space to share all there is to share about this unique and very special North Shore home/property. Make sure to read the list of improvements and you'll find that every space has been updated, sensible and well thought out space reinvented (new main floor bath, lower level laundry room space and a full bath, for instance). Finding 20 acres of land with a larger home, a huge pole barn/garage, a large wood shed/work shop, an old "sugar shack" from when a former owner tapped the abundant maples for syrup...not to mention the sweet & rustic bunkhouse/guest cabin that sits across the road. It has new floors, a new wood stove that's ready to be connected at the roof, an outhouse. The quietest place to ever spend a summer night from what I'm told. Walk the "Trail of the Cedars" (as lovingly named by the owners) from the bunkhouse to a pebble beach on Caribou Lake. Speaking of nearby Caribou Lake, that is what you see shining and shimmering from the back porch/deck, the living room, the upstairs bedroom!
