Panoramic Views and Ten Acres of Privacy
From your lakeside deck, and from nearly every room in this home, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of Lake Superior. In the distance, out past the channel that runs along the north side of Madeline Island, you’ll see Basswood and Hermit islands. On a clear day, you may even be able to see as far as Oak and Stockton. All are uninhabited islands within the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.
A 10-acre lot affords the peace, tranquility, and privacy you crave. North Shore drive is a lightly traveled road that’s well off the path usually traveled by tourists. Plus, your winding, paved driveway is long enough so that what little traffic exists should remain well out of earshot.
Massive Crib Dock to Shelter Your Boat
From the edge of your front yard, a stairway leads to a sandy beachfront and a large, F-shaped crib dock that has room for a fairly large boat. The dock is oriented to shelter your boat from the prevailing winds.
(If, like the current owner, you’ll need an even larger berth for one of your other boats, it’s only a ten-mile drive to the Madeline Island Yacht Club.)
The lighted stairway to your dock is carefully designed to blend in with the landscape; each landing has a bench where you can pause to enjoy the view.
For maintenance purposes, or to carry luggage and provisions to and from your boat, you can also drive to the dock and beach area. While the trail could perhaps be improved, it’s currently passable by a pickup or other four-wheel drive vehicle. The trail curves through the woods along the east side of your property, and isn’t visible from above.
