About this land
Here is your chance to own a beautiful buildable parcel right on the corner of Sawyer Avenue and Pirus Road, just a couple miles outside of Medford, Wisconsin. This +/- 14 acre parcel offers the best of both worlds, giving you the room and privacy of the countryside while still sitting just minutes from everything Medford has to offer. It is not often that a buildable piece like this comes along, ready and waiting for you to build the getaway or home you have always dreamed of. Bordered by National Forest land on the south and western sides, you will enjoy built-in privacy and thousands of acres to roam and explore right out your back door. The parcel is covered in mature timber, adding to its beauty and giving you a true northwoods setting to call your own. A power line runs through the south side of the property, making a great spot to put in a food plot and draw the deer right to you. This area is known for great deer, bear, grouse, and turkey hunting, so whether you are slipping into a tree stand for that target buck, working the cover for grouse, or chasing one of the bear this country is known for, you will have something to look forward to every season. When you feel like getting out on the water, Miller Dam can be found just a couple miles to the northwest, offering even more room to fish, boat, and enjoy the outdoors. This parcel is currently enrolled in the Managed Forest Law "Closed" Program, but the sellers will assist in removing it from the program before closing, giving you a clean slate to build and use the land however you see fit. This is the type of place you will be proud to pass down for generations, and you'll find yourself looking for one more reason to come up and one more reason to stay an extra day. If you have been dreaming about owning your own slice of the northwoods with room to build, 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 parcel 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 parcels 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.
- 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.
