Unique west-facing lakeshore opportunity on Barnum Lake; a quiet and clean lake tucked into the wooded hills of the Chippewa National Forest. Barnum Lake has no public access, and no access from other lakes, giving it a quiet and private experience its residents enjoy and advocate for by limiting outside boat traffic to protect its water quality. The fishing is fantastic, and the nearby Goose Lake trail system within the forest offers convenient access to cross-country skiing, hiking, and hunting, with an abundance of wildlife and unsurpassed natural beauty. Hundreds of acres of public land across the road further enables the habits of the outdoor enthusiast. Enjoy sunsets over the forest, the whistling wind through the towering pines, and an easy stroll down the gently sloping terrain to sandy, hardbottom lakeshore. Future owners benefit from the privacy of having just one direct neighbor and a 16,000 sq. ft. building area within setbacks to imagine your dream lake home build!
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
