A PLACE WHERE DREAMS COME TRUE

Slender windows and add a dramatic touch to this wall, positioned above the stairs.

Enjoy fishing from your private dock or canoe on the freshly-stocked lake.

The large kitchen is stationed under one of two skylights in the house.

The downstairs bathroom featured black and white chedkered tiles and a black toilet.

Get out those skates and sharpen the blades. You'll be able to use them when Old Man Winter pays a visit and freezes the pond. Maybe you're not a winter person. That's OK.

Just imagine the aroma of a pan full of fried fish caught right from your very own four-acre lake. Mushrooms will be peeking through the undergrowth in the spring, and there's sure to be some in the woods of this 16-acre country setting.

A cattle corral with its own water supply and additional fencing around the entire property make this executive home just south of Old Appleton one the outdoors family will love.

Aggregate sidewalks and a lower deck complement this two-level brick ranch. Even Fido was in the builder's plans. Instead of just leaving those extra bricks piled around, a custom brick doghouse is ready for occupancy.

Watch the fish jump and the squirrels play from the upper covered deck overlooking the lake. A ceiling fan provides extra comfort on those warm summer evenings.

When you finally tear yourself away from the beautiful outdoor setting, you'll wonder why you stayed out so long. Andersen windows with custom wood blinds and skylights in the kitchen and master bath offer inviting views of the great outdoors.

They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. If cooking is your cup of tea, prepare to be enchanted. The drop-in range and built-in oven and microwave are right at home in the 32-feet of custom cabinets. Whether you're serving dinner at the table or at the L-shaped eating counter, there's plenty of room for everyone.

Don't worry about all those kitchen towels you used while preparing that scrumptious meal. The laundry room is just down the hall, and a door to the upper deck will get you outside quickly if you'd like to air dry a few items. A half-bath is ready for quick cleanups.

Relax at the end of a long day in the large family/living area just off the kitchen. Two Casablanca fans extend from the vaulted ceiling. The massive floor to ceiling wood-burning fireplace is the focal point of the room.

You won't find any long hallways in this floor plan. Both bedrooms and a bath angle off a short hall just past the stained glass main entry.

Hand stenciled walls complement the guest bedroom. A full bath is easily accessible from the family area and guest bedroom.

Storage won't be a problem with all the room of the walk-in closet in the master bedroom. The master bath skylight opens up an already oversized room. Apply your makeup at the built-in vanity across from double sinks. Steam your cares away in the large corner shower or enjoy the bubbles while soaking in the double Jacuzzi.

Oak railings lead you safely from the living area into the completely finished lower level. Arrange the furniture to your heart's content without worrying about support poles. They aren't needed due to the suspension ceiling.

The entire house can be heated from the fireplace/furnace in the paneled family room. French doors open to the lower patio. Two sofas, a table and chairs and a pool table still don't use up all the room.

Entertain guests and keep the mess downstairs. Built-in cabinets in the complete kitchen make fixing all those snacks a breeze. There's plenty of room for seating at the bar/counter.

Dragging a vacuum cleaner up and down the stairs isn't fun for anyone. The central vacuum system makes cleanups a breeze on both levels.

All those necessities furnace, water heater, water softener and water storage tank stay well hidden. An exit to the back is also provided through this area.

Get away from it all in the secluded lower-level bedroom. Its view of the lake is an added plus. Black fixtures with black and white floor tile make up the decor of a striking corner bath.

Geo-thermo heat utilizes the water in the lake to keep the house heated and cooled, keeping utility costs down. Two dusk-to-dawn lights add security to the area.

Don't worry about the mosquitoes while fishing from the pier. Several martin houses are already in place to attract the insect-eating birds.

Additional acreage is available, which would bring the entire parcel to 70 acres.
