Description

Nestled on the serene and sparkling shores of Torch Lake, this beautiful 5-bed, 2.5-bath home is a testament to creativity and dreams realized. The sellers have poured their hearts into the creation of this home as a masterpiece of architecture in harmony with nature. Designed with an artist's eye, the bark house was built with an old-fashioned commitment to quality in its structure, choice of materials, and finishing touches, from the native rock fireplace down to the doors, windows, flooring, and molding. Additionally, two spacious loft spaces occupy the upper level. Inside, the open concept layout allows for ample natural light and breathtaking views of the water, while the exterior of this house is made with the bark of tulip poplars sourced from North Carolina, providing an organic and harmonious appearance that blends seamlessly with the surrounding woods. A Jotul gas stove in the sunroom adds warmth and charm, creating a cozy retreat in cooler months. For tree enthusiasts, this house is a dream come true, as the home appears to hug the forest that encircles it. An oversized 3-car garage provides ample space for storage, and includes a 12x24 workshop. Additionally, a concrete slab offers parking for two more vehicles, and provides an opportunity for expansion. A historic stone pump house also provides the perfect storage spot for life jackets, paddles, and other lake house essentials. Imagine waking up to the tranquil views of Torch Lake, spending your summer days kayaking on its crystal-clear waters or resting on the private sandy beach, and winter evenings on the porch, watching the snow gently blanket the surrounding landscape. This home is not just a residence; it's a sanctuary where dreams are nurtured and memories are made. If you're seeking a truly unique, nature-integrated home, come and experience the magic of this extraordinary property—your lakeside haven awaits!
