1940 Stone Building, Once a Restaurant, Trail Access Out Back — $99,900

The stone construction is what gets you first. Fieldstone walls on a building from 1940 carry a certain weight, literally and visually, and this one has held up. Before it was a house it was Irene's Lunch, a restaurant, and you can still feel the logic of the layout if you look for it. The pass-through window between the kitchen and dining area was not decorative.

At 1,368 square feet it fits two bedrooms, though the configuration is a little unconventional. Three rooms function as bedrooms, one of which is a walk-through to a bedroom addition that came later. That takes some willingness to work with, but it gives the place a wandering quality that fits the history.

The living room has pine walls and a wood-burning fireplace, and there is an additional sitting room off it. In winter that fireplace is the point. The dining area has a space heater. This is a seasonal area and the house reads like one, in ways that are appealing if that is what you want and worth knowing about if you are thinking year-round.

The lot is 0.55 acres. Trails run from the back door. Green Lake is close enough that you can walk to the boat launch, the park, and the swimming beach. The lake is 22 acres, which is small enough to feel personal. There is a public dock. For a lake property in Wisconsin at this price, the access is real.

Mountain, Wisconsin is in Oconto County, solidly north, and the property reflects that. Stone cabin, fireplace, water close by, trails off the back. It is not a complicated pitch. If you want a place to get out of wherever you are and be somewhere quiet with a boat in the water, this one has been doing that since before it stopped serving lunch.
