This BRAND NEW custom built house will be finished in a couple of weeks. Details and up to date photos will be added to our listing weekly (some of the photos were taken during construction, some features not shown...trim, deck, etc.).   This house is priced to sell. This is a For Sale By Owner price. We will list this home with a realtor at the end of May...then, the price will have to go up $10,000. Call for an appointment or for further details.   This Hook Lake home features energy efficiency to help your wallet and the environment. It has sprayed-in insulation and a pellet stove (as well as an energy efficient forced air gas furnace). This home has two levels; both are finished.   The upper level has two bedrooms, a full bath (with a claw foot tub and a separate large walk-in tiled shower), a large pantry, kitchen, dining area, and living room (with vaulted ceiling). The decorative and functional pellet stove is in the living room.   The lower level is a walk-out basement with a bedroom, office, full bath, laundry room, large family room, and an unfinished utility/furnace room. There are many closets in this house, and all of them are walk-ins. Most of the upper level has red oak floors (the red oak that we cleared from the land to build the house). Most of the lower level will be carpeted, with tile in the bathroom and laundry room.   The exterior features a 2+ car garage, a deck overlooking the lake, and a front porch. There are two beautiful boulder retaining walls as well as cultured stone on the exposed lower level foundation. The house and garage feature warranteed factory painted engineered wood siding (LP Smart Siding). The landscape surrounding this custom home is rolling hills with hardwood trees with a few pines mixed in along the lake shore. The 5.76-acre lot is on a private 20+ acre lake. The property is private and gorgeous every season of the year. The setting is exquisite.   This home is only minutes from Rhinelander (~5 miles). It is also close to Hazelhurst and the Minocqua/Woodruff area and only ~20 minutes from the interstate. Hiking, biking, camping, cross country skiing, swimming, horseback riding, golfing, fishing, and hunting opportunities are all within 10 miles of this home.   My husband and I built this unique home ourselves. It is not your typical home. It  is  reminiscent of an early 20th century cottage, but with all the modern features. The views of the lake and surrounding woods are breathtaking. Please call us for more information or for a tour. We look forward to showing you this fine home.   Again, more photos will be coming soon...the plumbing fixtures will be installed this week (wk of March 30) and the interior trim will be done. Please Email us if you need them sooner. :o) We are willing to negotiate, especially if you purchase this home before we complete it and before we sign with a realtor.
