Live where people vacation and run a business where the scenery does half the marketing for you. Chief Lake Lodge Bar & Grill is a fully reimagined, down-to-the-studs remodel that blends a turnkey restaurant with a stunning private residence overlooking Wisconsin’s largest wilderness lake, the legendary Chippewa Flowage.

The owner rebuilt everything and will be completing the remaining finishing touches. New windows, plumbing, electrical, siding, interior finishings. The whole works. The property shares about 330 feet of frontage with Chief Lake Lodge Condos, and includes three private docks plus half a dock by the gas pump. With the on-site bait shop and fuel service, this spot becomes a natural hub for boaters, anglers, snowmobilers, and anyone who prefers a bar stool with a lake view.

The lower level bar and grill spans roughly 1,749 square feet and comfortably seats about 82 guests inside, plus another 100 lakeside on the outdoor patio. The restaurant is fully equipped with a commercial kitchen, custom walk-in cooler, well-designed bar, gaming machines, pool table, dart board, and separate men’s and women’s restrooms. It’s built to handle busy weekends without breaking a sweat.

Upstairs, the private residence feels like a retreat. Vaulted ceilings and an open layout frame long, wide views of the Flowage. The kitchen includes an NXR range with custom hood, full-size refrigerator and freezer, dishwasher, sink, and a tucked-away pantry with bonus storage and appliances. The primary suite brings the spa to you with generous closet space, double tile shower with multiple jets, jetted tub, private commode, and dual sinks. The main floor also includes convenient laundry. Altogether there are four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a private entry. A two-car attached garage rounds things out.

Whether you want to operate a thriving lakeside bar and grill, live on the water, or finally combine the two, this property delivers a rare chance to work and play on the Chippewa Flowage. Original year built unknown.
