About this land

Lot 17 | 2.69 Acres | Forest County, WI | $39,900 Pond views, direct trail access and a place in the Northwoods for only $39,900! Lot 17 offers 2.69 wooded acres near Pickerel and Crandon, Wisconsin, with a combination of features that makes this property stand out-an attractive pond view, existing trail, cleared areas and direct access to ATV and snowmobile trails. Located near the Forest-Langlade County line, this surveyed and guaranteed-buildable property has year-round road frontage and a beautiful mixture of hardwoods and evergreens. Bring the camper and start enjoying it now, or take advantage of the existing clearings to begin planning your future Northwoods cabin or home. POND VIEW, WOODS & A HEAD START You aren't starting with untouched acreage. An existing trail and cleared areas give you a head start for camping, recreation or choosing a future building site. The pond adds character to the setting, while the surrounding woods provide the privacy buyers come to Northern Wisconsin to find. Slightly rolling terrain and a mixture of hardwoods and evergreens create a scenic setting for relaxing, exploring or simply enjoying your own land. Imagine morning coffee overlooking the pond, a day spent exploring the Northwoods and an evening around the campfire with family and friends. RIDE DIRECTLY FROM YOUR PROPERTY Here's another feature recreational buyers will appreciate: direct ATV and snowmobile trail access. No need to trailer your machines every time you want to ride. Head out from the property and start exploring the area's trail system. With Nicolet National Forest and additional public land nearby, you'll also have access to thousands of acres for hunting, hiking, wildlife watching and outdoor adventure. MINUTES FROM LAKE LUCERNE Beautiful Lake Lucerne is just minutes away, offering approximately 1,000 acres for fishing, boating, kayaking, swimming and summer recreation. Nearby Lake Metonga adds approximately 2,100 acres of water for fishing and boating, while the greater Pickerel and Crandon area offers even more lakes, rivers and waterways to explore. CAMP NOW. BUILD LATER. ENJOY IT YOUR WAY. Whether you're looking for an affordable camping property, future cabin site, hunting base or a place to eventually build a home, Lot 17 gives you options.

    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.
