Property Description
A rare opportunity to own a true Northwoods legacy property on the pristine shores of Stone Lake! Set on 4 beautifully wooded acres, this exceptional property offers 391’ of ftg on Stone Lake creating a waterfront setting w/outstanding privacy & natural beauty. The main log home was built in 1900 by Chicago railroad man Randall Burns as a caretaker’s home. Later additions saw its transformation into the Springstead post office, and then to a small Northwoods resort. Now it is a 3BR, 1BA home filled w/rustic charm that features a welcoming sun porch, 3BR is open loft for overnight guests, antique wood stoves & warm wood interiors that capture the timeless character of Northwoods living - all updated w/new windows, ductless HVAC, roof, hardscapes appliances & on-demand hot water. In addition to the main home, a full-log guest cabin was built in 1912 & features 1BR, brand-new bath & kitchen suitable for guest accommodations or STR income. A 3rd full-log cabin - also outfitted w/brand new windows - was originally built as the first garage in southern Iron County & later served as the 2nd Springstead post office & its general store - now used as an office. Completing the property is an impressive 1,050-square-foot barn, originally built as a livery for the resort, which offers abundant ground floor space for storage, hobbies, or recreational equipment as well as a spotless barn loft space. Whether you're fishing, boating, kayaking, or simply enjoying the resident loons & the peaceful sunsets over the lake, this property is designed for making memories that will last for generations! The property is one of only six in all of Iron County that’s listed in The National Register of Historic Places and is among the most significant collections of folks structures in the Northwoods! Conveniently located near Mercer & the area's renowned ATV/UTV and snowmobile trails, this waterfront retreat is perfect as a year-round residence, family compound, or cherished legacy property!
