From the Zillow listing:
Rare island property! 8-acre private Butterfield Island on the 5000-acre Nicatous Lake! With 21,000 acres & 34 miles of shoreline in conservation easement in the area, much of Nicatous Lake is not developed with the beauty protected & ”forever wild”. A legacy property, it is a perfect setting for a family compound, retreat/event center, short-term rental, or summer camp. The property begins on the deeded lot on the mainland with boat house, parking & private dock for the boats. The large, fully furnished, self-sufficient compound features 2 main lodges & 3 sleep cabins to accommodate a large group. Additional structures include a tool shed, generator shed, 2 docks, woodshed, and outhouse. The Great Lodge (c.2004) is open-concept with a modern kitchen, dining area, living area, sunporch bedroom & loft bedroom. Modern amenities include propane powered kitchen stove, refrigerator & water heater. The oversized deck encourages outdoor living and is a favorite for sunsets. The historic Butterfield Lodge (c. 1926), provides a multipurpose living area with a fieldstone fireplace, kitchenette, & bathing room (clawfoot tub, sink, and shower). Guests can snuggle in for the night in the loft. The large covered porch has timeless views of the common area & lake. The 3 sleeping cabins (c. 1930’s) feature wood stoves, newer beds, and privacy. Arranged in a semicircle, the buildings open onto the common area for gathering at the 8 picnic tables, oversized firepit & 30-foot event tent. On the practical side of island living, power is supplied by a newer diesel generator for all buildings’ lights, electrical outlets, & smaller kitchen appliances. Ready to install are a new battery system and solar panels with inverter ($15,000+ value). Propane tanks power the large kitchen appliances & hot wate.
