Carlin Lake Home

What you get for $849,000... Not Your Average Wisconsin Lake Home

This beautiful home is full of stylish amenities, and rests on crystal clear Carlin Lake, in the township of Presque Isle, Vilas County, Northern Wisconsin.

The Construction
This graceful full timber frame home was built by Butternut Creek with the future in mind. It's constructed to last for decades using a Timberpeg oak pegged frame of Eastern White Pine and Douglas Fir. The home has been featured in several Timperpeg nationwide open house events and the basic floor plan, named the "Presque Isle" is a feature design offered on their website. The massive frame throughout the interior is a beautiful accent to every room, from the towering 24 foot living room ceiling to the cozy 12 foot upper bath ceiling. Framing allows long expanses of windows which draw in magnificent full lake views along two complete sides of the open concept living room/dining room/kitchen.

Built for universal access, the interior home adjusts to your lifestyle needs with first floor master bedroom and a master bath that incorporates a fully tiled open shower and twin pedestal sinks.

A bath and laundry off the screen porch and dock side of the property easily accommodates swimmers and fisherman. The adjoining kitchen features solid surface counter tops, custom cabinetry and built in range and oven.

A cat walk graces the view as one ascends the stairs to the upper level, and bridges the two additional bedrooms and full bath.

Future generations will appreciate its small carbon footprint, including geothermal heat, high efficiency insulation, and green building materials.

The Lake and Land
A private lake with no public access, Carlin is a lake of 153 acres. It has a depth of 33 feet with a measured water clarity of 24 feet. NO invasive species make this lake truly special in northern Wisconsin. Enjoy great fishing right out your back door with 20" small and largemouth bass and 15" crappies and blue gills.

The two+ acres of nearly level land lot boasts 570" of shoreline along a point on the western shore of Carlin Lake. This property embraces landscaping by Mother Nature: wildflowers, breezy grasses, trees include oak, birch and the largest stand of white pines on Carlin Lake. Sell your lawnmower. You won't need it.

Wildlife abounds here. Secluded enough that deer put their fawns down and as they grow, feed them onsite. Flying squirrels, grey and red fox, bears, river otters, bobcat, pileated woodpeckers, loons, bald eagles, and nesting warblers are regular visitors to the serene property.
