About this property

Here is your chance to own a cabin in the perfect setting, tucked into some of the best deer and turkey country the area has to offer. This 39.17+/- acre parcel features a 4 bedroom cabin that is already somewhat finished on the inside, just waiting for a little paint and some love to make it your own. With full power, water, and septic already in place, the hard part is done, so you can focus on the fun of putting your own touch on the place. Surrounded by farm fields on all sides, this property keeps the deer and turkeys around year round, giving you a front row seat to the wildlife you love no matter the season. You will soon find that your favorite days are spent here, whether you are slipping into a tree stand for that target buck, sitting on a spring gobbler, working the cover for grouse and woodcock, decoying ducks on the water, or chasing one of the bear this area is known for. The land itself has a lot of great contours, giving you the kind of terrain that funnels the deer and makes for some outstanding hunting. Adding to it all is water frontage on a small private lake that holds walleye and more, giving you a quiet spot to cast a line, paddle around, or simply take in the view. Located just a quarter mile from Highway E, access could not be any easier. When you feel like exploring even more water, Miller Dam can be found just a short drive away, offering even more room to fish, boat, and enjoy the outdoors. This is the type of place you will be proud to pass down for generations. If you dream about owning your own hunting cabin with a little bit of everything, then this is your chance to make that dream come true at a great price. You will be hard pressed to find a better bang for your buck. For the best description of how this property can benefit you and your family, call the listing agents. Take a good look at the pictures and set up a showing as soon as you can. Great properties priced right never stay on the market very long. Call today, you won't want to miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity.

    Questions to ask before you buy

    Good questions for any home near the slopes.

    1. How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
    2. Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
    3. Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
    4. Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
    5. What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
    6. For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
