Your goal is to be self-sustainable. Here's your Homesteader Starter Kit. Everything you need in one affordable package: Log home, off-the-grid systems (solar & propane generator), drilled well (82 feet with 6" casing), septic, 8 acres, fenced garden, 576 square foot Pole Barn with cement floor, 30x72 NRCS certified Zimmerman Hoop house, fruit trees, established berries, and even a root cellar complete with all the proper ventilation. Best of all, it's located in the heart of Alger County's local food revolution. From the tree-lined drive into this private setting you'll know before you even set foot on the porch that this is a house you can make into a homestead. The open kitchen, living & dining stays cozy with the Waterford wood cook stove, but you also have the luxury of propane refrigerator, running water, flush toilet and even an LG direct drive washing machine. Main floor bedroom and bath along with laundry area completes the first floor. Upstairs two spacious bedrooms filled with daylight from the large east and west facing windows. The root cellar, solar battery storage and pressure tanks (2) are all conveniently housed below grade. Still need internet for your job? No problem. High-speed DSL via the TDS landline. Approximately 9 face cords of wood in covered storage. The pole barn was built in 2007 and can easily be converted to horses. Property backs up to CFR (State & UPPCO) land providing an easy walk to the Au Train Storage Basin and a migratory bird sanctuary. Truly this is a dream-come-true property, ready for you to launch your next chapter. Don't wait. You'll want to get your plants started in the hoop house before school ends.
