Description
MOTIVATED SELLER! In 1903, Norwegian carpenter John Mangseth was hired to construct a rustic lodge. Using white pine harvested on site, property features include porches along 2 sides with rustic balustrades formed from branches in a crisscross pattern. Inside, logs and knotty pine wainscotting form the walls and staircase, and a large cobblestone fireplace anchored the huge living room. Beyond the wooden water tower and lodge house stands a substantial caretaker’s house, built between 1913 & 1919. The property is in the heart of Wisconsin’s best cross-country ski areas, and about 1.5 hours from Minneapolis near the small town of Lewis. Fish the free-running stream all winter, hike, swim, and enjoy the outdoors! Abundant wildlife can be seen along the 15 miles of trails. This enchanting property is awaiting the perfect buyer to restore it to its bygone era beauty!
