Formerly “The Hawk’s Nest” bar, this 2 BD, 1.5 BA has had a huge overhaul of updates and is awaiting your finishing touches. Outside you will find everything to be in incredible shape including the beautiful landscaping, the expansive covered porch, and the two car detached garage. Inside you will see the beginning stages of a full remodel with room to add your own unique style and creative touches. A large living room and a partial bath complete the main level with 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, and a full bath being found on the upper level. All situated atop an unfinished basement perfect for adding additional living space when you’re ready. Did we mention that it’s just a short walk to your very own 20’ of frontage (where a pier can be easily added) on Water Power Lake, a no wake lake perfect for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing. Water Power Lake also connects to Greater Bass Lake for additional water exploration fun. Close to many area lakes and trails for added adventures.

For sale is a piece of local history and at a very desirable price. The former Hawk's Nest Bar and Grill is available but more than likely will never be a drinking and eating establishment ever again. The older portion of the original bar and restaurant area has seen better days and actually should be razed and removed from the existing newer living quarters. The living area is actually quite large and still in fair to average condition. Over 1700 sqaure feet of living space, 3ample sized bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Frontage on Waterpower Lake, and just a mile or two away is the beautiful 18 Hole Bass Lake Golf Course and Country Club. Now here is the best part of all. You can own this lake frontage piece of Langlade County history for what you would have paid back in the 60's, so the sellers decided to list in the 60's also. You can own this for $65,000.00, and maybe for even less. USE CAUTION WHEN In BAR AREA. Property recently reassessed, Taxes To be determined LOWER than 2011
