This rare 82-acre property—fully surrounded by the Hiawatha National Forest—offers unmatched privacy, beauty, and usability, with a one-of-a-kind layout showcased in the site plan within the associated documents. A year-round maintained road leads into a network of improved interior trails, thoughtfully placed clearings, ponds, mature hardwoods, and private access to the Rock River, creating a landscape that feels like your own nature preserve. Just four miles south of Lake Superior and minutes from Au Train, you’ll enjoy immediate access to miles of snowmobile and ORV trails, abundant wildlife, excellent trout fishing, and endless opportunities for camping, hunting, hiking, or building an off-grid cabin. Two cement pads and (2) 8x20 storage containers make it easy to set up camp and store gear, making this a truly exceptional recreational retreat you’ll be tempted to keep all to yourself.
