World's largest log cabin boasting 50 rooms on Michigan's Lake Superior shoreline slashes $20.5million from the whopping $40million sale price tag
- Located on the shores of Lake Superior in Michigan, Granot Loma boasts 23 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms
- Built from Oregon Pine, owner Tom Baldwin cut the price and reduced the amount of acreage on offer
- The 26,000-square-foot estate was listed last year for $40 million and then included 5,000 acres of land
- Massive compound will still include the dairy barn, guest houses, maid's quarters, a pool and a hot tub
Roughly a year after being put on the market for sale in Michigan, the price for the world's largest log cabin has been dramatically slashed from $40million to $19.5million.
Owner Tom Baldwin significantly cut the price for the luxury log cabin, called Granot Loma, as only 415 acres of land will now come with it instead of the 5,000 acres he initially planned to sell with the higher price tag for the Lake Superior shoreline property.
The huge property will still include more than a mile of Lake Superior lakefront and a private island.
Granot Loma was built in 1923 from Oregon pine, and it boasts 23 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms.

The massive property, which boasts 23 bedrooms among the 50 rooms inside of it was built in 1923. Located on the Michigan shores of Lake Superior, it also features a stunning bar where visitors can drink and unwind
Granot Loma was built in 1923 from Oregon pine and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Pictured is one of the dozens of bedrooms that fill the sprawling estate
Baldwin, who is a Chicago bond trader, purchased the massive property 29 years ago and restored it completely to its original splendor. Above is one of the dozens of bedrooms inside the home
The massive property also boasts 13 bathrooms, as the one above features a vanity, bath and shower while having an animal skin rug and walls using a unique stone design
The 93-year-old estate, which has 50 rooms total, is on the National Register of Historic Places.
From 1919 to 1923, more than 400 Scandinavian builders worked to complete the estate, which cost around $5 million at the time.
The builders wrapped the logs around a steel super-structure that was embedded in a six-foot thick cement foundation to complete the home, which was built by Chicago financier Louis Graveraet Kaufman.
The estate's title, Granot Loma, is a random mix of letters from the names of Kaufman’s first three children and his wife’s name.
The lodge might be the largest log cabin lodge in the nation and was built in the tradition of the Great Adirondack lodges.
Kaufman employed 22 architects to design the building, with the pine logs shipped in from Oregon by train.

Incredibly, the log cabin also boats four miles of lakefront and its own marina (pictured), where guests can dock their boats
The log cabin's grand living room contains a dazzling array of stuffed animals that includes bears, deer, wolves and more
This sitting room contains fewer animal heads but retains its authentic interior design that uses Oregon Pine
One of the cabin's many beds is also constructed out of the pine wood used to build the sprawling complex
Stuffed bears and wild cats and dogs fill one of the cabin's sitting rooms, which also contains a stunning fireplace
In addition, the property's private marina allows for people to access the lake, where they can enjoy fishing for salmon and trout.
Numerous buildings on the compound include a farm house with a dairy barn, guest houses, maid's quarters as well as a hot tub, pool and tennis court.
The farm once allowed for 200 cows to be milked, as there still is an apple orchard and a wind turbine to produce power for the large compound.
The 26,000 square-foot pad also has a kitchen that was remodeled to replicate the White House.
Other impressive features include a 30-foot-long fireplace - which is one of 26 fireplaces in the home.

Lake Superior is the largest of the Great Lakes of North America, and is bordered by Canada, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota
