Escape the hustle and enjoy the north woods as it is meant to be--with pristine, unspoiled vistas, peace, and quiet. We are located on a peninsula on the 200 acre Wind Pudding Lake with 450 feet of frontage and water on three sides. Our house is situated just 50 feet for the shore and commands panoramic 180 degree views.
You will see no neighbors and and have this virtually undeveloped lake for yourself! This lake has limited public access, no resorts, so you can enjoy the serenity. The lake is a beautiful combination of open water with 34 foot depths and areas of lily pads and sedge grasses that attracts a variety of birds and fish. The lake front is very beautiful, unspoiled, very quiet, and teeming with wildlife. One can enjoy geese, sandhill cranes, bald eagles, loons, flocks of ducks, and a beaver from our deck overlooking the lake. The lake is home to small mouth bass, northern pike, crappie, bluegill, bullhead and walleye.
However, the north woods has been experiencing a five year drought and lake levels throughout the region, including ours, are down by 2 feet or so. Last summer the larger part of our 200 acre lake was inaccessible by boat from our pier. There is a beautiful usable part of the lake directly in front of our house, but it is small, maybe 10 acres. So if you are looking to water ski, use jet skis, motor boat, our lake is not where you would want to vacation. If, however, you wish to have peaceful, relaxing vacation with complete privacy (there are no neighbors in sight), where you can swim, enjoy the eagles nesting on the nearby island, do a little canoeing, fish for something other than trophy fish, we can't be beat.
From our deck watch the bald eagles nesting on the island near our home, listen to the call of the loons, enjoy the sand hill cranes, geese, pintail ducks, and other water fowl. Or study our closest neighbors, the beavers, as they go about their daily rounds. Hike in the 220,000 acre Northern Highland State Forest that abuts our property, fish, hunt, bike. Or take the short leisurely drive to nearby Minocqua to enjoy their restaurants, shop, golf, or take in a ski show.
Autumn provides spectacular colors; winter offers great snowmobiling and cross country skiing in the area.
This new home, just completed in June of 2007, lets your enjoy the unspoiled wilderness outside and modern luxuries inside. This home has a prow front with deck, spacious living room, dining room, complete kitchen with all the amenities and a great view of the lake, hickory floors, vaulted master bedroom with private bath, two additional bedrooms with a double bed in one and a bunk bed in the other. We provide you a barbecue for your cookouts, a secluded pier for sunning, a 12 foot row boat, and a canoe.
