Twisting, scenic, country roads and hidden lakes set the stage for a great lifestyle at this secluded, Island Lake home featuring a walkout basement directly to 176 feet of shoreline. Privacy is at a premium with lots of trees separating the neighbors and creating plenty of shade with sun rays beaming in. Don't pass the opportunity to swim and kayak in in the turquoise water of Island Lake, which boasts plenty of loons, turtles, two sandbars for swimming and a majestic island of towering pines. The lake was stocked with walleye in 2022, according to the owner. Furthermore, Ponto Lake is visible directly across the road, and the brook that connects both lakes runs through the yard. Go for lazy, Sunday drives in this area that's a pleasant compilation of small lakes, ma-and-pa resorts, towering pines and old farms. Enjoy the benefit of rural, quiet living that retains the convenience of blazing-fast Internet. (*3rd room in lower level being utilized as a bedroom, needs egress window.)
