6027 Lady Slipper Rd, Egg Harbor — $3.195M
Bay Shore Drive runs nine miles along the western edge of the peninsula, and the Lady Slipper sits on the finest parcel ever carved from it — chosen in the late 1800s for the breadth of its water, the depth of its shoreline, and the unbroken arc of its westerly view. It takes its name from the wild orchid that grows in the cool shade of these woods, the kind of native bloom the Door County Land Trust now works to protect.
A once-in-a-generation offering: 3.56 acres, 354 feet of Green Bay frontage, and a 225-foot permanent pier. Two structures sit among the trees — the Cedar Shake Cottage, an updated three-bedroom vacation home, and the original Lakefront Summer Cottage, with its en suite bedroom, sleeping loft, and new outdoor summer kitchen beneath a wraparound covered porch. Renovate or rebuild to fully realize a combination of frontage, privacy, and acreage that rarely returns to the market.
3 Bed | Updated Vacation Home | 1,700 sqft
Step off the open lawn and into the cedars and the day changes temperature. The sun that pressed on the water a moment ago gives way to shade and a breeze off the bay, ten degrees cooler in the time it takes to cross the tree line. The Cedar Shake Guest Cottage sits in that pocket of cool — a deep screened porch that catches the through-breeze, and an open main floor holding the kitchen, living, and dining without crowding any of them. Upstairs, three bedrooms tuck under the gable with views into the canopy. It lives the way a Door County summer is meant to: unhurried, shaded, close enough to the water to hear it.
En Suite Bedroom | Sleeping Loft | Summer Kitchen
The original of the two, and the one that sits closest to the bay. An en suite bedroom and a sleeping loft handle the quiet hours; the new outdoor summer kitchen and wraparound covered porch handle everything else. This is where the day begins and ends — coffee before the water wakes up, dinner as the sun runs the full length of Green Bay. The bones are original and the view is the reason the parcel was chosen in the first place.
A permanent conservation easement held by the Door County Land Trust protects the setting and carries substantial federal and state tax advantages, with existing structures defining the general buildable areas. The dock has been restored with electricity and a 10,000-pound permanent boat lift; plumbing is available. The Lady Slipper returns now for the family who will carry it into the next.
