ACCESSED EXCLUSIVELY BY WATERCRAFT the run across Butterfield Lake slows everything down. The sound of the motor fades, as the shoreline comes into view, and the world left behind fades with only the sounds of loons and the water lapping on almost 2,800 feet of shoreline. There is no road leading here—only a huge body of water, and the quiet that comes with separation.
A soft, welcoming edge at the dock meets sections where rock meets water with cliffside views. The land rises gently from the water and stretches back through nearly 150 acres of woods, one of the lake's largest private holdings. Trails weave through maple, oak, hickory, and conifer with an expansive pond settled among the trees.
A rustic cabin sits close to the shoreline, where mornings start with a step outside with the lake close and clearly in view. Off-grid and solar-powered, with two bedrooms, a simple kitchen, and a living space warmed by wood heat. It offers comfort without asking for attention—a place to return to after a day spent on the water, walking the trails or among the timbered expanse in search of bears, turkey, deer or small game.
Out beyond the dock, the trophy fishery of Butterfield Lake opens wide. Over 1,000 acres of clear water that holds bass, pike, perch, and walleye through the seasons. Early casts in the stillness. Long summer evenings. The quiet of winter when the lake hardens and carries a different kind of silence and bring our those who opine for hard water-fishing.
This is the true retreat and a rare offering. Separation from the main land equals a slower pace on "lake time". The private boat slip and dock provide seamless access for leisurely cruises, thrilling water sports, exceptional fishing or simply relaxing by the water's edge to take in the sights and sounds of natures or one of the areas many spectacular sunsets. Lake life at its finest. Dive into the cool, refreshing waters or unwind on the dock with a cocktail or coffee in hand.
Access via a deeded slip at the Butterfield Lake Boat Owners Association. Serious inquiries only please. Proof of Pre-qualification are required to schedule a showing.
