Cabin Sweet Cabin! Here's the affordable opportunity that you've been waiting for in owning your little slice of Lake Life. This well built, seasonal, walkout cabin sits on one of the premier lakes of Douglas County, Chippewa, .... or as the Locals refer to it, 'Big Chip'! With its clear water, wonderful fishing and sandy hard-bottom shoreline, this lake checks all the boxes for whatever the water activity might be! The cabin is only minutes from the Brandon I-94 freeway exits and right before the end of the pavement on a lightly traveled dead-end road. The floorplan flows seamlessly through its open, main level floor plan. On this level you'll find towering vaults in the kitchen and family room spaces, accented by the floor-to-ceiling double-sided fireplace with blower. Additionally, there are 2 nice sized bedrooms, and a 3/4 bath. Enjoy the outdoors and the huge wrap-around deck on 3 sides, or maybe it's a book in the quaint 3-season porch backside. On the walkout lower-level you'll find 2 more bedrooms and the second, massive, 3/4 bath. The cute barn designed shed has great working space and a wood burning stove for those cooler days of spring or fall projects. If it's not the lake on certain days you can easily wander into Alexandria or maybe even grab the bike trail in Brandon for a long ride. A nice stroll to the neighborhood winery just a short mile away might be what the afternoon calls for? This lake home is in need of some crafty, dedicated hands to bring it back to its full potential or possibly even a yearly retreat! All the pieces are in place here including the list price which is very close to the assessed county values and below an appraised value that the Seller had completed a couple years ago. If it's sweat-equity and value on the water that you're searching for, make sure you prioritize a visit to this great seasonal home on Big Chip!!
