A truly special Northwoods retreat! This approximately 20-acre riverfront property offers exceptional privacy, beautiful wooded acreage and a tremendous setting for hunting, recreation or a secluded getaway, all just about three miles from town. Perched at the top of the hill overlooking the river is a 2025-built 12' x 24' cabin providing approximately 288 square feet of space and a beautiful elevated view of the water below. The cabin is currently uninsulated and awaiting the finishing touches needed to turn it into a fantastic off-grid escape, hunting camp or weekend retreat. The property features established access, a maintained opening around the cabin and a peaceful river setting with a spectacular upstream view. The surrounding acreage provides excellent wildlife habitat and plenty of room to explore, hunt and enjoy the outdoors. With the cabin already in place, this property offers a great head start for someone looking to create a simple and private Northwoods base camp without being far from the conveniences of town. Whether your goal is hunting, fishing, paddling, recreation or simply having a quiet place to unplug, the combination of acreage, river frontage, elevated views, a nearly new cabin and close proximity to town makes this a very unique opportunity. Off of an unnamed road off our County 519/Chaney Lake Rd. Buyer to verify access, acreage and dimensions.
