Property Description
Escape to Your Private Island Estate on the Cisco Chain Welcome to a one-of-a-kind private island retreat nestled on the world-renowned Cisco Chain of Lakes—a legendary destination featuring 15 crystal-clear, interconnected lakes. Spanning over 16 pristine acres with more than 5,000 feet of private shoreline, this breathtaking legacy property offers unmatched luxury, seclusion, and year-round accessibility. Ideal for multi-generational families, executive retreats, or discerning buyers seeking an unforgettable four-season escape, this is a rare opportunity to own a true Northwoods masterpiece. At the heart of the estate stands a magnificent, hand-scribed log lodge, an architectural marvel that combines rustic elegance with grand scale and artisan craftsmanship. With 7 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, and accommodations for 22 guests, this home is both expansive and welcoming. Massive hand-hewn logs, custom carvings, and a stunning vaulted great room with a soaring fieldstone fireplace set the tone for lakeside luxury. A wall of windows brings the outdoors in, framing panoramic water views and infusing the interior with natural light. The chef’s kitchen is a culinary showpiece, complete with high-end appliances, a butler’s pantry, service bar, and even an in-home tap beer system—perfect for entertaining. A spacious dining area, generous recreation room, and a custom sauna offer comfort and convenience for every gathering. The primary suite includes its own fireplace and offers serene vistas, while four private guest suites and an additional caretaker or chef’s quarters provide unmatched flexibility and privacy. A fantastic bunk room and lower-level sleeping quarters ensure there’s space for everyone. Step outside and experience a recreational paradise. The grounds are professionally landscaped and include a stunning stone patio with custom gazebo, an outdoor fireplace on the point, and miles of walking trails. A fully equipped bait and fish-cleaning house caters to anglers, while the custom log boathouse and permanent piers make year-round boating effortless. The private harbor accommodates 7+ boats, and an 80,000 lb-rated bridge provides secure, gated access to the island. Additional exterior highlights include a grand portico entry, full log garage with slate roof, and a spacious 6-car log garage with loft—perfect for vehicles, lake toys, or workshop space. Modern comforts abound with a full auxiliary generator system, in-floor heating, forced air heat, central A/C, and extensive high-end utility systems for turnkey reliability. The home is fully furnished and decorated with high-end furnishings, gear, and taxidermy, making it truly move-in ready. Whether you're seeking a peaceful wilderness sanctuary or a one-of-a-kind venue for hosting and memory-making, this island estate delivers exceptional luxury in a spectacular natural setting. A true Northwoods icon—this is your chance to own a legacy.
