Realtor Comments
Beautiful 5-acre, wooded parcel with cabin that borders 1, 000+ acres of county land filled with wildlife, adjacent to Deer Trail Creek, ATV/Snowmobile trails. It also has access to the Flambeau River State Forest which includes popular activities such as Camping, Fishing, Canoes and Kayaks, etc. The Northwoods of Wisconsin are a vacation hotspot but with 5-acres of land, there is plenty of room for privacy. Inside you’ll find an open concept kitchen, dining and living area along with a stand-alone wood stove and large sleeping area with room for multiple beds, etc. The cabin can use some TLC and is move in ready. There is power to the property with circuit breaker. The refrigerator is gas. The property is being sold as is, where is. There is an outhouse located on the property that has been there since before the owner purchased and is unlicensed. There is also a well on the property that was there before the owner purchased and is unclear whether it is drilledâ‰
