80 acres of outstanding recreation land with a nice cabin located in Southern Dickinson County. This unique setting has that highly desirable combination of remote wilderness that is also easily accessible and fairly close to amenities. Lying adjacent to the thousands of acres of State Forest and a stones' throw from the Sturgeon River just north of US 2 and west of County Road 569 (Waucedah and Foster City Road), we have beautifully wooded parcel complete with an off grid cabin that has all the creature comforts of home. The dwelling is a 24x36 raised ranch with a walkout block basement that is partially finished. It is wired with generator, drilled well, septic, and full bath. The setting is superb surrounded by a mature red pine plantation which is scheduled to be thinned for bonus income. The majority of the acreage is gently rolling uplands that is varied with several forest types. Mature hardwoods and varied ages of aspen make up much of the forest outside of the planted pines. The acreage is surround on three sides by one of the largest State Forests in the area. The Sturgeon River is across the access road with easy water access for fishing, kayaking, and an abundance of wildlife utilizing the river corridor. The dwelling is solid, charming, and functional with two bedrooms, a bath and huge stone fireplace on the main level. The basement has finished space that could be used in multiple ways and includes a woodstove. The access is about 1 mile from the Paved County Road. There is only one other private owner in the section. This location has been known for quality hunting over the years. The State land has an extensive network of trail systems to explore as well. This has the potential to be used as an off-grid home and is perfectly suited for any season of outdoor enjoyment. As an added bonus, the acreage is enrolled in the Qualified Forest program providing an annual tax advantage while also capping the taxable value. The property has been in the same family for generations and awaits a new owner to appreciate and enjoy this great opportunity.
