Lakefront Home in Butternut, Wisconsin for Sale

Opportunities like this on sought-after Butternut Lake do not come along often. Built in 2018, this impressive Northwoods waterfront home combines the space to gather, the privacy buyers crave, and the kind of level, sandy lake frontage that is increasingly difficult to find.

Situated on 1.74 acres with approximately 124 feet of sandy frontage, the property offers a wonderfully level approach from the home to the shoreline—ideal for swimming, entertaining, launching kayaks, or simply enjoying the lake without navigating a steep slope. Even better, State land borders one side of the property, creating an added buffer of privacy and enhancing the peaceful Northwoods setting.

With approximately 4,200 square feet of finished living space, this home was designed with family, friends, and extended stays in mind. There are 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, two additional 12' x 12' flex rooms, and a spacious 14' x 28' bonus room above the attached garage. Whether those extra spaces become bunk rooms, home offices, hobby rooms, a game room, fitness area, or additional guest accommodations, the possibilities are exceptional.

The home offers inviting gathering spaces on every level. A main-level gas fireplace creates a warm focal point for evenings at the lake, while the finished walkout lower level features an electric fireplace and easy access to the backyard and waterfront. A spacious mudroom and convenient first-floor laundry make lake living practical, while a greenhouse incorporated directly into the home adds a unique feature for gardening enthusiasts and year-round plant lovers.

The primary suite provides a private retreat with a Jacuzzi tub, walk-in shower, dual sinks, and generous space to unwind after a day on the water.

Outdoor living is every bit as impressive. A covered deck overlooking the backyard and lake offers a comfortable place for morning coffee, outdoor dining, and sunrise views in almost any weather. Below, a stamped-concrete patio, decorative water fountain, and expansive level lawn create additional space for entertaining, yard games, campfires, and family gatherings—all leading naturally toward the sandy shoreline.

The included FLOE aluminum dock means you can begin enjoying the lake from day one.

And when it comes to storage, this property truly delivers. The heated attached 28' x 28' garage provides convenient everyday parking and storage, while the substantial 30' x 48' detached garage is built for serious Northwoods recreation. Featuring in-floor heat, floor drains, workshop space, and abundant room for boats, snowmobiles, ATVs, trailers, and lake toys, it is an outstanding complement to the home.

Of course, the centerpiece is 983-acre Butternut Lake, one of the area's most desirable full-recreation lakes. Spend summer days boating, waterskiing, tubing, kayaking, swimming, or cruising to one of the lake's two boat-accessible sandbars. When you want to grab a meal without leaving the water, enjoy the convenience of two restaurants located on the lake.

Anglers will appreciate the diverse fishery, with opportunities for musky, walleye, northern pike, panfish, largemouth bass, and smallmouth bass throughout the seasons.

This property checks the boxes that waterfront buyers search for but rarely find together: quality newer construction, substantial living space, room for guests, exceptional garage and toy storage, a level lot, sandy frontage, privacy from adjoining State land, and direct access to one of the Northwoods' premier recreational lakes.

Whether envisioned as a year-round residence, family gathering place, or generational retreat, this is more than simply a home on the water. It is the kind of Northwoods legacy property where weekends become traditions, summers become memories, and family and friends will want to return year after year.
