This extraordinary offering on remote Bird Lake presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own both an island and mainland property in one of the most secluded corners of the region. With only two other private holdings on the lake, this retreat is enveloped by mature white pines and untouched natural beauty, creating a sanctuary where silence and wilderness reign. Bird Lake is celebrated for its pristine waters, excellent smallmouth bass fishing, and breathtaking scenery, making this property a rare escape from the modern world.
The Property
At the heart of the island stands a striking original log-constructed lodge, designed for gatherings and relaxation. Its spacious great room is anchored by a natural stone fireplace, complemented by a built-in bar and billiard table. A large kitchen with breakfast area flows into a distinctive hexagon-shaped dining room, offering panoramic views across the lake. Additional island structures include a dry boathouse and a traditional sauna building, enhancing the rustic yet refined character of the estate.
Land and Water
The island is connected to the mainland by a charming walkway, where four rustic log cabins provide additional guest accommodations. The surrounding landscape is defined by towering pines, tranquil shorelines, and clear waters that invite exploration. Bird Lake’s reputation as a premier fishing destination adds to the property’s allure, with abundant opportunities for anglers to enjoy smallmouth bass and other native species.
Access and Utility
Despite its remoteness, the property is accessible by floatplane or rugged SUV via a logging road that reaches the northern end of the lake. Off-grid convenience is ensured with an ice house and generator, allowing for extended stays without sacrificing essential comforts. The combination of island and mainland facilities makes this retreat both versatile and self-sufficient.
The Lifestyle
Whether enjoyed as a private fishing haven, a nature lover’s escape, or a gathering place for family and friends, it offers unmatched privacy and connection to the wilderness. With its blend of rustic charm, natural beauty, and exclusivity, this is a destination where one can truly disconnect, recharge, and embrace the timeless rhythm of lakefront living.
