MLS# 7057688 - 2799 East Island (No 27th Street Birchwood, WI 54817

Created with

Arrive by ferry and leave the ordinary on shore. The offering of this East Island homesite is a rare opportunity to establish a private residence within the storied island setting of the National Register-listed Stout's Island Lodge on prestigious Red Cedar Lake in Northwest Wisconsin. Comprising approximately 3.3 acres and encompassing the northern half of the East Island, the site offers an exceptional sense of privacy and scale, with panoramic lake views in all directions and a direct sightline to the estate’s iconic boathouse to the west. Access is provided via a steel bridge connecting to the Main Island, an architectural feature with its own history, originally gifted to the estate by Andrew Carnegie. What sets this offering apart is not simply its size or setting, but its provenance. Originally established as the private retreat of Chicago lumber baron Frank Deming Stout, the estate is recognized for its architecturally sophisticated Rustic Style design and its legacy as one of the only Adirondack-inspired Great Lodge properties outside of Upstate New York. Ownership here feels less like acquisition and more like stewardship. Days unfold in a setting of shoreline paths, boating culture, lake activities, open lawns, and evenings by the bonfire, an environment that remains remarkably unchanged over time, yet offers the rare ability to create a fully private island residence. This is a generational opportunity to create a legacy estate on a private island setting within one of the region’s most evocative properties, located approximately two hours from the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area and roughly six hours from Chicago.
