Nestled beneath a canopy of mature trees, this enchanting 3-bedroom, 2-bath Dutch Colonial-inspired stone and log-sided home offers a rare blend of timeless craftsmanship and Northwoods charm. Located in the heart of the lake country between Grindstone Lake and Lac Courte Oreilles, this cottage offers countless outdoor recreation opportunities and feels as though it was lifted straight from the pages of a storybook. Distinctive stonework, columns, arches, and inviting entryways create an exterior reminiscent of the Dutch countryside. Inside, you'll discover unique architectural details including French windows with deep sills and living spaces designed to stand the test of time. The main level includes an entryway, main floor laundry, full bathroom, kitchen, living and dining area. The upper level features two bedrooms with a sitting area in the middle. The dry lower level has been transformed into a spacious primary suite area, with a walk-in closet and a den/rec area. A separate one-bedroom, one-bathroom guest cabin (280 sqft) with a full kitchenette offers comfortable accommodations for family, friends, or visitors. Lovingly cared for by the same family for over 40 years, this home has been a place of shelter, celebration, and cherished memories. The grounds have been carefully nurtured over the years, transforming sandy soil into flourishing gardens that complement the natural beauty of the setting. The detached garage is an oversized 1-car (16x32) that has been insulated with spray foam and heatable. A 10x10 she-shed, doghouse, and storage shed rounds the many outbuildings on the property. Whether you're searching for a year-round residence, a Northwoods retreat, or a property filled with character and history, this stone cottage is a rare opportunity to own a truly unique and cozy home.
