This rare offering encompasses both a private island and a mainland property on Bird Lake, a remote water body with only two other private holdings. The estate is a secluded sanctuary defined by mature white pines and untouched wilderness. It features a primary log lodge on the island and additional guest accommodations on the mainland, serving as a versatile retreat for fishing or private gatherings.
Property Details
The island is anchored by an original log-constructed lodge. The interior centers on a spacious great room featuring a natural stone fireplace, a built-in bar, and a billiard table. A key architectural element is the hexagon-shaped dining room, which connects to a large kitchen with a breakfast area. Auxiliary island structures include a traditional sauna building and a dry boathouse. The mainland portion hosts four rustic log cabins, providing significant guest capacity.
Land and Water
The estate is characterized by a "charming walkway" physically connecting the island to the mainland property. The landscape is dominated by towering pines and tranquil shorelines. Bird Lake is a recognized fishery, specifically noted for smallmouth bass and other native species.
Access and Utilities
The property is located in a remote sector accessible via floatplane or a rugged SUV using a logging road that reaches the northern end of the lake. Infrastructure is fully off-grid, utilizing a generator for power and an ice house for cold storage, ensuring self-sufficiency for extended stays.
Lifestyle and Value
This asset offers a high degree of privacy and exclusivity, ideal for a dedicated fishing haven or family compound. The combination of island seclusion with mainland accessibility and guest capacity creates a unique "camp" atmosphere in a pristine, low-density region.
