Rarely does a property offer this combination of premier lake frontage, acreage, living space, and storage. Set on 6.5 private wooded acres with approximately 270 feet of crystal-clear, sand-bottom shoreline, this exceptional Middle Eau Claire Lake retreat captures stunning western sunset views and the privacy that defines Northwoods living. The four-bedroom, three-bath home spans three levels and is designed to take full advantage of its beautiful lake setting. A dramatic prow-front wall of glass fills the great room with natural light and showcases views of the lake. The adjacent kitchen and dining area feature windows on three sides overlooking the flagstone patio, water feature, and lakeside firepit. The upper-level owner’s retreat is a private haven with a gas fireplace, walk-in closet, and sitting area that easily functions as a home office. A loft overlooking the great room and lake provides additional sleeping space with two Murphy beds for guests. The main level also includes a guest bedroom and full bath with laundry. The walkout lower level offers a spacious family room with fireplace and Murphy bed, wine cellar, two additional guest bedrooms, and a third full bath. A gently sloping path with stone steps leads to the shoreline through towering evergreens, creating a natural and inviting approach to the lake. Equally impressive is the garage and storage capacity. In addition to the heated attached two-car garage, the property includes a detached two-car garage and a separate three-stall garage ideal for boats, recreational vehicles, and lake equipment. An asphalt driveway connects the home to a quiet town road for easy year-round access. A true legacy property on one of Wisconsin’s most desirable lakes, offering exceptional privacy, outstanding frontage, and room for family and friends to enjoy for generations.
