19750 Kawagama Big Trout Island

About This Property

Extraordinary turn-key island sanctuary on Kawagama Lake that epitomizes the quintessential adventurer's retreat. Considered one of the premier lots on the lake, this exceptional property is set in a rare location just steps from the water-close enough to enjoy the shoreline, yet elevated to remain dry. Spanning over an acre with more than 400' of stunning frontage, the relatively level point of land features two west-facing docks for all-day sun and unforgettable sunsets, along with a south-facing private bay highlighted by a dramatic granite entry slope. Constructed in 2011 with high-quality craftsmanship throughout, the property showcases durable ICF foundations in both the main cottage and the impressive 520 sq ft bunkie, affectionately known as the "Boathouse." Thoughtfully designed as the ultimate family compound, this package offers exceptional privacy, comfort and endless adventure. The two-level cottage features a highly functional open-concept living space with a spacious kitchen, all of which are oriented to capture breathtaking lake views. Four multi-level screened porches extend the living space outdoors, providing a sheltered environment to relax and entertain in any weather-free from insects. The shoreline is beautifully diverse, with deep water on one side ideal for swimming and boating, while the other offers a gentle rock entry into a private bay. A huge fire pit creates the perfect gathering place under the stars. Additional features include a fully equipped workshop for hobbyists, a recently upgraded water system, and a backup generator for peace of mind. The property is also equipped with both electric and wood heating systems extending usability into the cooler months. Accessible within just 15 min by boat from the marina or a quick 3-min ride from the public launch. With replacement cost alone exceeding the list price, this is not just a cottage-it's a rare and thoughtfully curated island experience.
