40 acres of Northwoods hunting ground with Birch Creek frontage, bordering Paul Bunyan State Forest. The property adjoins thousands of acres of state forest along two sides, which extends your hunting, hiking and exploring well beyond your own boundary lines. Birch Creek winds through the property’s meadows and lowlands, and towering pines, open grassy edges and brushy cover surround it, the kind of habitat that draws and holds deer moving off the surrounding public land. Three elevated deer stands are already in place, overlooking the creek bottom, field edges and thick red pine cover, so you’re ready for opening morning. The property sits off County Road 4 with a driveway to a cleared, level yard site. The 3-bedroom, 1-bath home was originally built in 1909 and updated over the years, and it makes a comfortable base camp or getaway. It has a metal roof, cedar shake siding, laminate floors, wood trim throughout and plenty of natural light. A detached storage shed holds your gear. Fish the creek, run trails through the timber, or simply enjoy the quiet. Whether you’re looking for a hunting retreat, a recreational investment or a private place to escape, this is a rare combination of acreage, water, wildlife and public land at your back door.
