About this land
Want an affordable parcel that is buildable and located right across from the Nicolet National Forest, just down the road from the Popple River and in a location that allows you to spend all of your time on your ATV or UTV as you travel hundreds of miles of forestry roads? You found it. This property was formerly farmed, but now much of it has been planted in beautiful tall and straight red pines, perfect for providing the materials for a cabin. Though there is no electricity available, more and more landowners are finding the beauty in solar combined with a backup generator, so no monthly utility bills. The soil is sandy, as such, getting a permit for septic is easy and drilling a well is always a snap in this part of the country. The Nicolet National Forest extends for 45 miles to the south, 65 miles to the north, 23 miles west and about 5 miles east and it is broken up with countless well maintained forestry roads. Morgan Lake Road, also known as Forestry Road 2161, is maintained all year long, so getting here and getting home will not be a problem. The land rolls and provides many locations to build a cabin. Maybe you would like to park your camper, it will not be a problem as long as you follow county guidelines. A private farm field is found just 350 feet south and west of the property, and it borders the National Forest land across the road from your new property. The deer and turkeys are often seen feeding in the field both morning and evening. This is a quiet area, one cabin is found due north next to a private lake, another a bit east on Morgan Lake Road, but the first thing you will notice when you arrive is the quiet of the woods and the region. As the crow flies, it is about 11 miles on forestry roads to Fence, a great location for a burger and a drink. South of the property is the Popple River, to the north the Pine River, and area lakes include Halsey Lake, Fay Lake and Long Lake, but don't forget Morgan Lake just east. This property is owned by the listing agent, a Wisconsin Licensed realtor. For the most accurate description of what this property can provide for you, be sure to contact the listing agents. High ground that is dry and buildable, right across from the National Forest is a rare find. Be sure to call today.

Questions to ask before you buy
Good questions for any home near the slopes.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
