Property Description
Set along 300 feet of pristine shoreline on Upper Whitefish Lake, this extraordinary Northwoods estate encompasses 21.4 acres across two parcels, creating a rare combination of privacy, recreation, and legacy ownership on the Whitefish Chain. The primary homesite includes 3.73 acres on Upper Whitefish Lake, while an additional 17.67-acre parcel offers access to the Chain through Mud Lake. Surrounded by towering pines and protected Northwoods beauty, the property offers a sense of seclusion seldom found on one of Minnesota's premier lake chains. Expansive lakeside decking, a dramatic three-season porch, and walls of windows capture breathtaking water views and create seamless indoor-outdoor living. Designed for gathering, the home blends timeless lodge-inspired architecture with exceptional comfort. Warm wood finishes, soaring ceilings, multiple fireplaces, spacious living and family rooms, and a main-level primary suite with lake views create inviting spaces for both everyday living and entertaining. Guests and extended family will appreciate the seasonal guest cabin, while the attached garage, detached three-car garage, workshop, and additional storage spaces provide ample room for vehicles, watercraft, hobbies, and recreational equipment. Beyond its impressive acreage and shoreline, this estate offers something increasingly difficult to find: space, privacy, and permanence. Surrounded by towering pines and connected to the Whitefish Chain, it is a property designed to be treasured for generations.
