MAGICAL BROWN COUNTY RETREAT WITH LAKE, HOBBIT TREEHOUSE & TOURIST RENTAL APPROVAL *** Tucked into 5 pristine, wooded acres in one of the most sought-after areas of Brown County, this beautifully maintained log chalet is more than just a cabin - it's an experience. With a track-record of performance as a short-term rental, full STR zoning approval, and a captivating mix of natural beauty and curated charm, this property offers immediate lifestyle and investment appeal. *** A serene private lake with a dock and seating area welcomes you with tranquil views, while Edison bulb string lights line trails and winding walkways lead guests through enchanting outdoor living spaces, past a campfire area, hot tub, and into moments of total peace and privacy. *** The main home exudes rustic elegance with hand-hewn timber beams, but the magic continues across the property - with six additional outbuildings, including garages with potential studio apartments, and the show-stopping Hobbit-like treehouse tucked into the trees. Every corner of the property is thoughtfully designed for relaxation, exploration, and connection. *** With a gated entrance, remote-yet-accessible location, and grounds that could easily host intimate weddings, retreats, or events, this property is turn-key and truly one-of-a-kind.
