About this land

This gorgeous property was formerly farmed, the field was repurposed and is now replaced by a beautiful stand of Red Pine that will be ready for another thinning within about 15 years, the hardwoods would likely be able to be cut at that same time. As you walk the property, you cannot help but notice the apple trees found in the northwest corner of the property, branches almost touching the ground from the weight of too many apples. Several old stone piles can be found that further evidence a small family farm existed here at one time. As you drive along Old Beechwood Road, there are countless apple trees found in the neighbors' yards and along the road, be sure to pay attention to the deer enjoying their free meals. The land is high and dry, and a good trail system is in place. There is electricity along the road, building your home or cabin on the top of the hill or along the road are both good choices. There are a number of places to establish foodplots and knowing that a huge block of land on your south line is owned by a large timber company, which is open to hunting, will pull deer to your land like a giant magnet. Plant it and they will come. Just to the southwest of your property is Lake Ottawa, with over 550± acres of high quality fishing. The lake is known for very clear water, species including high numbers of Smallmouths, Lake Trout, Walleye, Northern Pike, Yellow Perch and Panfish. A well-maintained boat landing is found on the southeast shore of the lake. Since the population near the lake is limited, you will love the fact that you might not see many other boats on any given day. And if you enjoy camping, there are 32 sites to choose from. It is about 5 miles to Iron River, the closest city of any size. With a population of just over 3,000, Iron River provides everything a person would want or need. A property like this has tremendous potential for future income, building a home or cabin, hunting and ATVing, and enjoying everything possible in the outdoors. As you look through the photos and the aerials, you cannot help but understand why this land was formerly the home for a family that wanted to take advantage of a beautiful piece of land that offered peace and the freedom to own land at a reasonable price. As land prices continue to increase, it is the best ones, the highest quality properties, that will increase in value faster or hold their value if the economy takes a turn. There is just so much land, but made some pieces were made just a little bit better. Take the time to see this property and get ready to enjoy your quiet place in the country.

    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.
