Description
Arrive by ferry and leave the ordinary on shore. The offering of this homesite is a rare opportunity to establish a private residence within the storied island setting of the National Register-listed Stout's Island Lodge on prestigious Red Cedar Lake in Northwest Wisconsin. Comprising approximately one acre, the largely level site offers north-facing lake views and a highly usable building envelope, creating an ideal canvas for a thoughtfully designed island retreat. Access to the shoreline and the island’s extensive amenities is provided via easements, allowing owners to fully enjoy the unique, car-free setting and the lifestyle that defines the Island of Happy Days. What sets this offering apart is not simply its setting, but its provenance. Originally established as the private retreat of Chicago lumber baron Frank Deming Stout, the estate is recognized for its architecturally sophisticated Rustic Style design and its legacy as one of the only Adirondack-inspired Great Lodge properties outside of Upstate New York. Ownership here feels less like acquisition and more like stewardship. Days begin with a brief ferry crossing and unfold in a setting of shoreline paths, boating culture, lake activities, open lawns, and evenings by the bonfire, an environment that remains remarkably unchanged over time. Utilities including electricity, well, septic, and propane are available, along with island-wide Starlink access, supporting modern living within a historic setting. This is a rare opportunity to create a legacy residence within one of the region’s most evocative island estates, located approximately two hours from the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area and roughly six hours from Chicago.
