Thoreau said, "life is simple, but we insist on making it complicated. " If you want to live simply and get back to nature, then this might be for you. The circular drive leads to an authentic 1 bedroom 1 bath full log cabin on a 27-acre lake perfect for paddling, kayaking and wildlife viewing. A pair of swans return to the lake every year, and sellers regularly see otters, bears and even occasionally a moose. The 13+ wooded acres includes an extra lake lot and trails to explore. Perfectly located in Presque Isle, Wisconsin's Last Wilderness, an area of many lakes, hiking, biking and snowmobile trails. The comfortable year ‘round cabin has a generator, water filtration system, new roof and a newer 3-bedroom septic, so expansion is possible. A one-car heated garage with lean-to tool shed provides necessary storage space. An added bonus is the cement pad with 240 RV hookup. Come relax on the deck, look at the lake, and enjoy the peace and quiet that this property offers.
Located in "Presque Isle, Wisconsin's Last Wilderness" sits this True Northwoods Full Log Cabin situated on nearly 6 acres with a southern view shore on 24 acre Crawford Lake. This mostly undeveloped lake has some history when President Eisenhower in Yesteryears enjoyed duck hunting. Take in views of the abundant wildlife from the deck, the pier, or go for a boat ride. Area activities include snowmobiling, biking, hiking, fishing, and the Ski Hills just north across the border in the UP of Michigan. And within a few miles you'll find a new library, a Convenience Store/Gas Station, a Hardware Store, and Fire Hall. Add to all this a 1-car detached garage, and it's location on a Town Road for easy access. Come live the "Up North" Life and enjoy this peaceful and quiet neighborhood.
