Description

There’s something special, nostalgic even, about the peaceful privacy of this home on 5.5+ wooded acres & 400+ ft of frontage on the Wisconsin River, part of the Eagle River chain. Lovingly cared for since the original 1 room cabin was bought in the 1940s; it’s a home where memories are made, coffee at sunrise on the dock, dinners overlooking the river from the boathouse roof & canoeing or kayaking to the eagle’s nest, one river bend to the north. Curl up in the screened porch with a book or a game...There’s something special, nostalgic even, about the peaceful privacy of this home on 5.5+ wooded acres & 400+ ft of frontage on the Wisconsin River, part of the Eagle River chain. Lovingly cared for since the original 1 room cabin was bought in the 1940s; it’s a home where memories are made, coffee at sunrise on the dock, dinners overlooking the river from the boathouse roof & canoeing or kayaking to the eagle’s nest, one river bend to the north. Curl up in the screened porch with a book or a game of cards on a buggy night. Keep the boathouse for storage or create a party space. There’s a seasonal bunk house in the large, detached garage & the storage space above could be converted to living space. With easy access to ATV/UTV & snowmobile trails, year-round adventures are waiting for you! Keep or sell the 2+ acre vacant lot parcel. All the conveniences of town are just minutes away in Eagle River, but here, it's peace & quiet, Northwoods nostalgia & memories waiting to be made!
