About This Home
Lake life rejuvenates the soul and this year round compound on 10+ acres on Bass Lake southeast of Gwinn capitalizes the combined restorative powers of woods & water. Since 1996, when the land was first cleared, the Seller has been designing and artfully customizing this property--with everything from Treehouse to Tipis--to become Honalee Retreat. Enter the 3 bedroom/3 bath log and stone chalet from the wide lake-facing deck and you'll know right from the north woods murals and artwork circling this first sitting room that you are in a one-of-a-kind dwelling.The open dining, kitchen and family rooms are adorned with more art and filled with light and views of the lake through wide windows. The corner wood stove surrounded by Lake Superior stone, is the perfect perch for a dreary day. Down the hall is a full bath, sauna, and laundry. A home library/office links this wing of the house to another tranquil 900 square feet of primary suite, complete with a Superior Stone fireplace in the living room, walk in closet and spa-like bath with custom shower and soaking tub. Stairs up to the loft lead to 2 more bedrooms and half bath. Branches from the "Tree of Life," anchored to the main floor spread up to create the railing for the loft balcony. Honalee offers a host of gathering spaces, inside and out. Next to the chalet is the 9x13 Bunkie with sleeping loft. Tucked under the hemlocks closer to the lake is the Treehouse, with another sleeping loft. Catch sunset or watch for the nesting pair of eagles from the Gazebo. Share stories around the fire pit--there are 2--and guests can sleep in the Tipi, or pull up their RV on the separate driveway and park with power outlet. Plenty of extra room for toys and tools in the 60x30 pole barn with a 22x30 loft. The private sandy beach is ideal for swimming and the dock makes it easy to launch a boat for waterskiing or fishing on the 273 acre all sports lake. Snowmobile and ATV trails lace the area making it an ideal base camp for all-season recreation. And best of all, Marquette County's Regional airport is less than 15 minutes away. Bring the gang to Honalee, where every hour is happy hour.
