About this land
Watch the Flambeau River sweep through a wide bend and stay in view for nearly half a mile from this 1.54-acre wooded riverfront lot in Rusk County. With approximately 160 feet of shoreline and a canopy of mature trees, the setting offers privacy, character, and a view you'll never tire of. Picture morning coffee on the bank as mist lifts off the water, or evenings around a fire ring listening to the river. The lot is build-ready, with room for a year-round home, a classic Northwoods cabin, or a weekend getaway. Additional acreage is available for buyers who want more space. Recreation starts at your own shoreline. Launch a kayak or canoe directly from the lot and explore the river at your own pace. The Flambeau is known for musky and also holds smallmouth bass, walleye, trout, and panfish, so your favorite fishing spot may be just steps from your door. Deer are frequent visitors, and the riverbanks are full of birdlife through every season. Nearby, the 90,000-acre Flambeau River State Forest offers hiking trails, camping, and miles of Northwoods country to explore. The location balances seclusion with convenience. Ladysmith is a short drive away for shopping, dining, and local services, and Rusk County Airport sits just across the river for easy travel to and from the area. It's close enough for everyday errands, yet far enough to feel truly away. Whether you plan to build now or hold land for the future, riverfront parcels with this kind of view are rarely available. Come walk the shoreline and see the possibilities for yourself.

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.
