About This Home

Opportunity meets Northwoods charm on Little Manitowish Lake! This unique carriage house features a main-level garage with comfortable living quarters above, offering flexibility for year-round living, a vacation getaway, or future expansion. Originally designed as a temporary residence while a larger home was planned, the property now presents endless possibilities to customize and grow. The upper-level living space includes a primary bedroom with an adjoining office currently used for additional sleeping space with bunk beds. On the main level, the heated single-stall garage has also doubled as a bunk/rec room and includes its own bathroom shared with the laundry and mechanical room, creating even more room for guests. Set on an incredible 614’ of frontage on Little Manitowish Lake, just a few miles from Manitowish Waters, this property is perfectly positioned to enjoy everything the Manitowish Waters Chain has to offer. The peninsula-style lot delivers unreal sunset views and offers the rare ability to enjoy water views looking north, west, and south all from one property. Excellent fishing, boating, swimming, and recreation are right outside your door. The 3-car garage setup includes a spacious 2-car portion measuring 29’ deep, ideal for storing vehicles, boats, and outdoor gear. Seller improvements include a newer conventional 4-bedroom septic system and an in-ground sprinkler system, providing a strong foundation for future plans. Whether you envision expanding the existing footprint, creating the ultimate lake retreat, or enjoying it just as it is, this waterfront property offers exceptional potential in a prime Chain location.
