About this home

A truly rare opportunity to own Van Reed Island, a three-acre private island featuring a charming summer home on prestigious Red Cedar Lake in Northwest Wisconsin. Located just east of historic Stout’s Island Lodge and approximately two hours from Minneapolis-Saint Paul, this remarkable property offers exceptional privacy, extensive natural beauty with stunning rolling terrain, and endless opportunities for recreation on one of Northwest Wisconsin's premier lakes. Accessible by boat, with a mainland parking space and boat slip at the Stout’s Island Lodge parking lot included in the sale via a perpetual easement, the centerpiece of Van Reed Island is an approximately 2,200 square foot four-bedroom summer home with living and dining rooms, a kitchen, a light-drenched sunroom, 1.25 bathrooms, and expansive wraparound decks overlooking Red Cedar Lake with panoramic views. An adjoining A-frame structure provides additional potential for guest accommodations, recreational space, or another use. The wooded island features approximately 1,350 feet of shoreline, docks, swimming areas, and a significant amount of open outdoor space for gatherings. Enjoy boating, fishing, swimming, kayaking, and everything else that the Red Cedar Lake chain has to offer. Red Cedar Lake connects with Hemlock and Balsam Lakes, providing over 2,300 acres of navigable water and exceptional recreational opportunities. Access to the amenities at Stout's Island Lodge is negotiable. Whether envisioned as a private family legacy estate or a potential vacation rental, Van Reed Island presents a truly remarkable and irreplaceable opportunity to own an entire private island on Red Cedar Lake. The owners of Stout’s Island Lodge are open to discussing potential rental management and other collaborative arrangements with the purchaser.

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.
