Property Description

Nestled on the shores of Big Marine Lake, Heartwood Bluffs is so many things at once: private sanctuary, lakefront getaway, working horse farm, wildlife refuge, and timber lodge retreat. The thoughtful design, exquisite craftsmanship, and top-line materials all come together in this luxurious and comfortable light-filled home. The vaulted beamed ceilings give a feeling of soaring spaciousness while the soft-lit valences bring a glow and warmth. The inviting living space is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling St Croix stone fireplace and large windows framing serene views. The vaulted screen porch tucked in the woods is a great place to split off and enjoy the quiet summer breezes. The wood-fired sauna is close enough to the 442 feet of lake frontage that you can warm up after an early spring dip in the clean water. The 1,800-acre fully recreational Big Marine Lake is an angler and water-lover's dream, yours to explore by pontoon, canoe, kayak, and paddle board. Wildlife abounds throughout the 26-acre estate: deer, fox, wild turkey, Canadian geese, sandhill cranes, great blue herons, owls, and a variety of colorful songbirds are all common sightings. The tiled floors and entire lower level of the home have comfortable hydroponic in-floor heat, as does the garage and the main floor of the timber frame barn. The original barn was restored in 2000 and given a new foundation. It has a tack room, 5 horse stalls, and a chicken coop. The timber frame barn has storage for 4 vehicles and large spaces for a woodworking shop, a clay studio, and the occasional barn dance. This legacy property can be your quiet escape from our busy world for generations to come.
