Welcome to one of Northern Wisconsin’s most extraordinary private retreats. Located in scenic Ashland County, this property is 269 acres of rolling hardwood forest anchored by a breathtaking 10-acre private lake and an executive-quality lake home designed for both luxury living and premier recreation. -A winding gated driveway meanders through towering oak, maple, and pine, building anticipation as it leads to a stunning lakeside residence overlooking your own secluded body of water. The setting is nothing short of spectacular—panoramic views of the lake and surrounding forest, total privacy, and the kind of tranquility most people only dream about. -The land is exceptional. Expansive rolling topography creates incredible character and usability throughout. Mature timber, established trail systems, and strategically placed food plots provide outstanding habitat for trophy whitetails, turkey, bear, and waterfowl. Krause Creek, a designated trout stream, flows through the southern portion of the property, adding moving water and beauty. The property borders Copper Falls State Park on the south and east, ensuring lasting privacy and access to thousands of acres of protected wilderness. -At the heart of the estate sits a 5,000+ square foot, 4-bedroom, 4-bath lake home that has been extensively updated. Recent upgrades include metal siding, a new roof and windows, modern cabinetry with premium appliances, and upgraded flooring throughout. The open, inviting living spaces are oriented toward the lake, maximizing natural light and water views. Step outside onto the expansive lake-facing deck or unwind in the sauna after a day on the land or water. -The 10-acre private lake reaches depths of approximately 30 feet and is loaded with bluegills and bass. Crystal clear, wooded, and completely secluded, it offers exceptional swimming, fishing, and peaceful paddling—without ever leaving your own property. -Additional improvements include an attached two-car garage and a spacious Morton pole building with a concrete floor for equipment, recreational vehicles, and storage. -Despite its unmatched privacy, the property is ideally located less than a mile from the Mellen Country Club and just 20 minutes from Ashland, offering convenient access to dining, services, and Lake Superior. -This is more than a property—it’s a legacy estate. A luxury private sanctuary where land, water, wildlife, and craftsmanship converge into a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
