About this home

Tucked away on the tranquil shores of "Magic Lake" in Star Prairie, just minutes north of New Richmond, Wisconsin, this authentic log home retreat offers a rare blend of rustic charm and refined comfort. Surrounded by serene natural beauty and thoughtfully designed landscaping, the property invites you to slow down and savor lakefront living at its finest. Crafted with timeless character, the home features 3 spacious bedrooms and 3 well-appointed bathrooms, providing ample room for both relaxation and entertaining. Warm wood tones, natural textures and inviting living spaces create an atmosphere that feels both cozy and elevated. Just off the kitchen, a bright and inviting four-season sunroom offers the perfect space to enjoy panoramic views year-round. Whether just taking in the stillness over breakfast or experiencing all that 270 degrees of natural light offers, the versatile space seamlessly brings the outdoors in while providing comfort in every season. A standout feature of the property is the expansive wraparound front porch -- ­perfect for morning coffee, evening sunsets or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings. From here, enjoy uninterrupted views of the lake, where graceful swans and abundant wildlife create a picturesque, ever-changing backdrop. The property also includes a detached outbuilding offering versatile space for a garage, workshop or additional storage -- ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and hobbyists alike. With 388 feet of private lake frontage, (don't miss out on the Shoreline walk!) you'll have direct access to the water's edge, making it easy to enjoy kayaking, fishing or quiet reflection by the shore. Whether you're looking for a year-round residence or a weekend escape, this one-of-a-kind log home delivers a lifestyle defined by nature, privacy and timeless beauty. Experience the magic of lakeside living -- if having a beautiful log home on 3.64 acres in the country is what you are looking for, this could be it, and only 45 minutes from downtown St. Paul.

How SODL buyer credits work

When you buy with SODL, the brokerage charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. The remaining buyer-side commission (typically 3% of the purchase price) is credited directly back to you at closing, reducing the cash you bring to the table.

  • Tour homes with SODL’s flexible showing network
  • Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
  • Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing

A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
