About this home
OSWEGO LAKE COTTAGE: Year 'round cottage charmer with the warmth of golden knotty pine walls and a split fieldstone fireplace! Wood floors, two porches (one has heat) and a seasonal guest cabin with kitchenette and 1/2 bath, all located on a 66 acre quiet silent-sports lake north of Boulder Junction, Wisconsin's "friendliest small town", known for excellent fishing, snowmobiling, miles of bike trails, thousands of acres of state forest lands. Lots of wildlife will visit you, including albino deer strolling through your wooded yard of almost 3 acres. Excellent privacy! The home and garage are approximately 90 years old, and they bring the vibe and feel of a bygone era to your vacation getaway. The buildings will require repairs and upgrades, and this is reflected in the price. Being sold "AS-IS". Seller will include and convey furnishings and most household items to new owners. An affordable up North retreat that can be used all 4 seasons in a fantastic location!
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
