The main lodge is stunningly appointed, with its chef's kitchen complete with a walnut-topped island, marble counters, and Sub-Zero and Viking appliances.
A dramatic dining room features the work of blacksmith Dan Nauman, one of a number of artisans who contributed to the property. Nauman created a 3-tiered chandelier with iron rings and chains, supporting three sets of elk antlers, decorated with birch leaves.
The lower level provides space for entertaining, including a family room with fireplace and inglenook, a game room, a bunk room, a copper-topped bar, wine cellar, a gym and a lakeside changing room with marble showers and handcrafted lockers.
More from the listing:
"Across its expansive layout, the home offers multiple porches, a cascading stone staircase, cantilevered timber stairway, and custom oak bookcases hewn from a tree once rooted on the land.Private bedroom suites feature reclaimed wood floors, birch built-ins, forest views, and stone-accented en-suite baths. A luxurious home spa includes a sauna, steam shower, and soaking tub overlooking the woods."
If the majestic main lodge wasn't enough, the property also comes with a standalone guest house a short distance away along the lake.
