Some properties check boxes. Others create a feeling the moment you arrive. Set on 40 private acres with a trout stream winding through the landscape just steps from the home, this classic Craftsman-style country property is the kind of Northwoods retreat people spend years hoping to find. The stream meanders close to the home itself, crossed by charming footbridges and woven naturally into the setting, while two spring-fed ponds add to the peaceful, storybook feel of the property. Mature trees, open meadow areas, wooded trails, perennial gardens, split-rail fencing, and the timeless character of a former farmstead combine to create an unforgettable first impression. Inside, the home offers over 2,200 sq ft with 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, a large office, oversized bedrooms rarely found in newer homes, original hardwood floors, rich woodwork, and a warm wood-burning fireplace insert that perfectly suits the home’s character. The covered front porch, inviting outdoor spaces, and back deck with hot tub invite a slower pace of life — morning coffee overlooking the grounds, evenings under the stars, gardening, hobby farming, exploring the trails, or simply enjoying the quiet privacy of your own Northwoods escape. Properties that combine architectural character, flowing water, usable acreage, and this level of privacy and emotional appeal rarely come to market.
