Camp Butternut: something very special. As you make your way through the - wooded, manicured gravel road that leads to Camp Butternut, your mood lifts and your worries evaporate. Maybe it's the fresh air. Maybe it's the lush, dense woods. But it's something. It really is something. Upon approaching the circle drive, a magnificent, timeless log cabin reveals itself, clearly whispering "welcome home". And what do you hear when you get out of your car? Absolutely nothing. Possibly the wind as it tickles the top of the powering pines, lush maples and white cedar trees that are the long-term inhabitants of this 20+ acre property. The authentic log home features screened in front and back porches, along with a large deck, all expressly designed for you to enjoy the outdoors, regardless of season, regardless of weather. Picture yourself sitting on the front porch, reading your favorite book, or having a cup of coffee with your spouse as a doe and fawn emerge from the woods to greet you. Or imagine your entire family enjoying dinner outside on the deck with the picturesque Sturgeon River as your backdrop. Camp Butternut can be as private or as grand as you wish it to be. Majestic, yet comfortable. The theme of luxurious, casual comfort continues inside with an open floor plan featuring a family room, dining area and kitchen all sharing soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, a stone fireplace and tall windows that bring the beauty of the woods and the river into the home. The kitchen is a chef's delight with state-of-the-art appliances, stunning ample granite countertops, and beautiful shop-built cabinetry. The living space in this home is ideal for sharing and entertaining at it's best. Two large downstairs bedrooms offer ample closet space and share a fully appointed bath. The upstairs master suite is accessed by a loft which oversees the entire downstairs and functions as a home office. The master suite also boasts rich log walls, soaring angular wood-paneled ceiling, walk-in closet and an elegant, newly built master bath with double sinks and hand-set pebble backsplash and shower floor. The very large basement can hardly be called a basement. It is a world all its own with log walls, hardwood ceilings, custom light fixtures, lush carpeting, inset can lights, full wet bar with beautiful granite counters, wide-screen television, fully integrated sound system and a magnificent spa bath featuring a walk-in/walk-around shower with hand-set river pebble floors and ceiling. For entertainment or escape, the lower level of this home is a haven to behold. The home at Camp Butternut is unique, magnificently appointed, and perfectly complemented by the very grounds it sits on. The entire property is surrounded by a meticulously cleared and groomed trail, approximately .75 miles long, ideal for walking, jogging or even four-wheeling. During winter, this path is also perfect for snowshoeing or cross-country skiing. - Then there is the river: stairs provide access to a
