Welcome to a rare private retreat on the Natural Lakes Chain, where nearly 4 acres, two adjoining buildable lots and an exceptional McCullough Lake setting create a true Northwoods compound. Offered for the first time by its original owner, this cedar-sided lake home is truly remarkable. Directly in front of the property is a view across the water to a small state-owned wildlife sanctuary island—a daily backdrop for loons, eagles, deer, otters and abundant Northwoods wildlife. Inside, expansive windows frame the lake and surrounding forest, complemented by Andersen windows throughout and two-zone heating. Step outside to excellent fishing right from the dock, and direct access to a remarkable four-lake chain known as the headwaters of the Presque Isle River. The Natural Lakes community is a private residential and recreational woodland preserve which encompasses approximately 3,600 acres with 26 miles of private roads and borders the Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest, offering extraordinary privacy and four-season recreation. The second adjoining waterfront lot is included—an increasingly rare opportunity within the community, providing additional privacy and future possibilities including building on, or adding another pier at the end of the gentle slope. Beyond the home is an oversized 4+ vehicle garage with one side heated and insulated, plus the recently built cabane à sucre—a one-of-a-kind sugar house and gathering retreat with sauna, loft, wood stove and maple-syrup evaporator that doubles as a wood-fired grill. Nearly four acres of woods and sugar maples, a huge outdoor fire pit and tremendous wildlife complete the setting. Fish at sunrise, explore the chain by boat or kayak, make maple syrup, gather around the fire, or simply watch the lake from the great room. This is more than a lake house—it is a private Natural Lakes retreat designed for experiencing the Northwoods in every season and brimming with generational potential.
