Rare 222' of sandy frontage on Scattering Rice Lake on the renowned Eagle River Chain sets the stage for this extraordinary 4,555 sq ft cedar chalet — a trophy investment and exceptional private retreat. Offering 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and effortless flow from shoreline to sky, this home delivers panoramic lake living at its finest. Southern exposure fills the home with natural light and water views from nearly every room. The great room commands attention with soaring cathedral ceilings in tongue-and-groove pine, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a cozy fireplace — quintessential Northwoods architecture at a luxury scale. The hickory kitchen with granite countertops and an oversized island opens to generous dining space and an expansive sun deck with sweeping lake views. The primary suite opens to the private balcony and features a spa-inspired en-suite with jacuzzi tub and zen-style shower. A second upper-level bedroom sits adjacent to the loft nook overlooking the great room — a quiet retreat. Two additional bedrooms round out the main levels. The walk-out lower level is anchored by a full wet bar and a large open entertaining area well-suited for a TV lounge, game room, or both. A fifth bedroom and full bathroom create a self-contained wing ideal for families or larger groups, with direct access to the shoreline via stone steps and a paved path. Outside, 222 feet of private sandy frontage includes a boathouse with pier storage, an expansive dock, and a fire pit area above the water's edge. Two garages serve the property — a heated finished garage adjoining the house and a detached garage ideal for ATVs, snowmobiles, and gear. A 9-bedroom septic upgrade expands occupancy potential and future flexibility — a rare and significant improvement on the Chain. Whether acquired as a legacy family compound, an income-producing investment asset, or both, this is a rare opportunity to own one of the Eagle River Chain's most distinguished waterfront offerings.
