About This Home
A property this rare is more than a place to call home—it’s nearly 47 acres of Northwoods with over 1,700 feet of west-facing frontage on McAvity Lake, all adjoining state land. A tree-lined drive welcomes you into exceptional privacy, with trails winding throughout the property and gardens that harvest apple, grape, blueberry and asparagus. Inside, the home offers a spacious living room with fireplace, updated galley kitchen opening to the dining area, and a primary suite with walk-in closet and full bath. Two additional bedrooms, 0.75 bath, half bath, and main floor laundry complete the layout. The lower level features new epoxy flooring with utility and storage space, while the attached 2-stall garage is heated and insulated. You’ll enjoy taking in the gorgeous sunsets as you relax on the screen porch on those calm summer nights. A two-level outbuilding adds even more versatility, with garage-door access to the lower level for storage or workshop use and an unfinished upper level is a blank canvas for bringing your vision to life or to simply provide additional storage. Creating the gateway to nature, this one encompasses all the things that make living Up North such a treasure.
