Step outside the La Maison de Deux Fleurs estate in Marshall's Point, Wisconsin and all you'll hear is the wind in the trees, the waves lapping on the shore of Lake Michigan and the calls of wildlife. No traffic, no hum of civilization.

That sense of serenity -- and supreme privacy -- is what beckons people to Marshall's Point, a private, gated community of 32 homesites near the northeastern tip of the fabled Door County peninsula. Each waterfront property contains a minimum of 10 acres -- La Maison de Deux Fleu features 21 -- and the owners share nearly 600 acres of preserved wilderness in the community's interior, which also includes a winter skating rink, tennis court, horse stable and ample trails for hiking and cross-country skiing.

The elegant 10,000-square-foot home is carved into a sumptuous cloak of cedar forest. Nearby is the property's 740 feet of rustic shoreline. "The house was designed to fit into the landscape, not to stand out as an ostentatious mega-house," says Tricia Cramer of Premier Door County Properties, who is co-brokering the sale with Marilyn Hoffman of Hoffman International Properties. "It's fairly elongated, designed to mostly face out to the water."

Renowned architect Richard Bos designed the home to reflect the owner's love of yachting. "The interior is reminiscent of a hull of a ship," Tricia says, "with steel framing and open-beam ceilings." It's also asymmetrical, with lots of graceful curves and geometric shapes (the library is octagonal). "In some homes you walk into dead-ends, whereas this house flows from one space to another," Tricia explains.

Two corridors flank the stunning rotunda, one leading to the lavish master suite, the other to a lovely guest suite. All of the home's mechanicals are routed underground, adding to its uncluttered, pristine air.

While privacy is paramount on Marshall's Point, the home is not far from amenities: country clubs, restaurants, stores and the Door Peninsula's rich arts tradition in quaint towns like Fish Creek, Sister Bay and Ephraim. "We prize our wilderness in Door County," Tricia says, "but we have a full cultural life here as well."
