Property Description

Welcome to effortless lake living on the quiet shores of Caribou Lake’s Sawmill Bay—where a winding drive through mature sugar maples opens to an intimate Northwoods retreat designed for both relaxation and connection. This inviting four-bedroom, two-bath home offers low-maintenance peace of mind with a newer roof, while inside, warm hardwoods, tile floors, and expansive lakeside windows flood the living space with natural light and the soothing soundtrack of loons. A cozy woodstove anchors the home, and the spacious, updated kitchen—with charming glass-front cabinetry—sets the stage for gathering, whether it’s fresh-caught walleye dinners or maple-infused treats from your own backyard harvest. Thoughtfully designed across three levels, the home offers flexibility for hosting, creative pursuits, or quiet retreat, including a lower-level family room and upper-level bedrooms perfect for restful mornings or late-night stargazing. Step into the hallway that leads to a three-season timber-framed gazebo ideal for slow mornings, lively conversations, or simply taking in the surrounding beauty. The setting is rich with detail—towering spruce, whispering cedars, spring ephemerals, and raspberry patches—creating a landscape that feels both grounded and alive. A lakeside firepit invites evenings of storytelling and connection, while crystal-clear waters offer refreshing swims just steps from your door. With a two-car garage, optional furnishings, and kayaks on this property is ready for immediate enjoyment. Tucked along a quiet dead-end road, this is a place where time slows, nature leads, and every day feels like a getaway.
