Property Description
In 1903, a wealthy Minneapolis wheat broker & sportsman hired Norwegian carpenter John Mangseth to construct a rustic lodge as his summer residence. Using white pine harvested on site, Mangseth built this hand-hewn log building, tied at the corners with saddle notches. Porches along 2 sides feature rustic balustrades formed from branches in a crisscross pattern. Inside, logs and knotty pine wainscotting form the walls and staircase, and a large cobblestone fireplace anchored the huge living room. Beyond the wooden water tower and lodge house stands a substantial caretaker's house, built between 1913 & 1919. The property is in the heart of Wisconsin's best cross-country ski areas, and about 1.5 hours from Minneapolis near the small town of Lewis. Fish the free-running stream all winter, hike, swim, and enjoy the outdoors! Abundant wildlife can be seen along the 15 miles of trails. This enchanting property is awaiting the perfect buyer to restore it to its bygone era beauty!
