This 16.25-acre property in Rusk County offers a combination of residential living and recreational land use in a Northwoods setting. The property includes a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home that is move-in ready, providing an immediate opportunity for occupancy as a primary residence, seasonal retreat, or base camp for outdoor activities. The home is supported by established utilities, including a private well, septic system, and electricity. These improvements contribute to the property's usability and allow for year-round access and comfort. Buyers are encouraged to verify the condition and capacity of all systems as part of their due diligence. The acreage consists of a diverse mix of timber, including hardwoods, softwoods, and pine stands. This variety of tree cover supports different wildlife habitats and contributes to the property's overall character. Thick underbrush is present in portions of the land, providing natural cover and structure that may benefit wildlife and recreational use, such as hunting. Access to the property is controlled by a gated entrance, offering an added level of privacy and management over entry. The layout of the land may support trail systems, stand locations, or general outdoor exploration. The northern portion of the property includes areas of wetlands. These natural features enhance ecological diversity and may serve as habitat for a variety of wildlife species. Any buyer should review wetland maps and local regulations to understand potential use limitations. The property is situated between the Flambeau Flowage and the Chippewa River, both known for fishing, boating, and other water-based recreational opportunities. In addition to these water resources, the surrounding area provides access to thousands of acres of public land within Rusk County, offering expanded opportunities for hunting, hiking, and outdoor recreation. Nearby towns include Ladysmith, located approximately 15 miles away, which offers essential services such as groceries, fuel, dining, and healthcare. Bruce is approximately 12 miles from the property and provides additional small-town amenities. Rice Lake is approximately 35 miles away and offers a broader range of retail, dining, and medical services. This 16.25-acre property may appeal to buyers seeking a manageable acreage with an existing home, established utilities, and access to recreational resources. The combination of wooded land, wetlands, and proximity to public lands and waterways creates a setting suited for a variety of outdoor uses. All property details, including acreage, utilities, zoning, and land use, should be independently verified.
