      <description>2678 28th Street,  Birchwood, WI  54817&lt;br /&gt;Looking to relax and simplify your life?  How about a completely furnished &amp; decorated lakefront estate?  This home is located on the shore of Red Cedar Lake in Barron County, WI, approximately 2 hours from Minneapolis/St. Paul and 1 hour north of Eau Claire, WI.  Red Cedar Lake is 1841 acres, with a maximum depth of 53 feet.  It is home to Walleye, Northern Pike, Pan Fish and plenty of Bass.  Lakes Hemlock and Balsam are also accessible by boat from Red Cedar Lake.  

Cross country skiing, ice fishing and snowmobiling are favorite winter past times of these lucky residents.  Listen to the lake moan as it freezes while you are soaking in the steamy hot tub with stars above and favorite beverage in hand.

Summertime offers many local events like the Bluegill Festival in Birchwood.  Enjoy lunch on nearby Stout Island and take the boat to your tee time at Tagalong Golf Course.  It is the Northwoods' only lakeside-access golf course.

This 3000 square ft estate was built in 1992 on 2 1/2 lake lots on the site of an old cabin.  One part that was salvaged from the original cabin is the stone fireplace, that can be seen in the informal dining area.  This home has had 2 owners since constructed and both have used it as a retreat only.  That is why it shows little wear and tear.

Inside the home, the huge log trusses and pine finishes, give the feel of a true log cabin, without the maintenance of a log structure.

The decor and motif fits perfectly into the surroundings. Plenty of antiques and collectibles add to the nostalgia and romance of a beautiful retreat.  You can not forget you are at the lake.  Sit back, relax and enjoy.  There is nothing left to do but have fun.

There are 3 fireplaces (2 wood burning, 1 gas) and the home has a Steffes heat recover system. To learn more about that, click on the link provided.

In addition to the furnishings; a dock, 2006 Premier Castaway 231 pontoon boat with a Honda, 4 stroke, 60 HP outboard motor, 1995 Rinker Runabout speed boat with a V8 inboard motor, and a 1995 Yamaha jet ski are all included.  Want more?  How about 2 more lots across the street, each almost an acre.

The 3 car garage has an unfinished bonus area above that could be used as a studio, workshop or bunk house for more sleeping area.  The garage has it's own furnace and septic system.
