1614 croftville rd

We are pleased to present “The Hobbit Hut,” one of the iconic properties on charming Croftville Road. Visitors and residents alike have enjoyed the eclectic atmosphere of Croftville Road for decades. This well insulated, year round home was designed and built by one of the early “giants” of the Grand Marais Art Colony and his flair and imagination are everywhere present. It has stayed in the same family and has been lovingly cared for and tended to since construction. From the awesome beams to the whitewashed ash walls, to the openness of the home to the Big Lake, this home is a delight to the eye. There is one bedroom on the upper floor but those agile and adventurous enough will give the stairs to the loft a go for additional sleeping. The kitchen and dining area look over the lakeshore but step though the door on to the deck to feel as if you are standing right above the lake. If there is a better spot in Cook County for your morning coffee or your evening adult beverage, I haven’t found it. The lower level is an empty canvas where possibilities abound. Step out through the walkout and find easy access to the walkable ledgerock lakeshore. S'mores anyone? And all in a quaint little cove for enough shelter to launch your kayak or canoe. This property must truly be seen to be appreciated but a word of warning…once here you will never want to leave. Call for a showing today.
