About N5491 State Highway 17

PRIME REAL ESTATE and a FISHERMAN's DREAM! Here is a property that doesn’t come along often, 5.28 wooded acres with TWO rustic homes, a garage, and the Prairie River directly through the property which is Class A trout water! Here you have unparalleled privacy tucked in off the road and bordering 14 acres of public land with even more water access! Whether you dream of a sportsman’s retreat, income-producing cabins, or a serene Up North escape, this property offers the potential to bring your vision to life. The property is ready for the new owner and is being sold AS-IS. The remodeled main home is 433 sq.ft. & comes fully furnished with all items in the home included! This home combines simple Northwoods charm with fresh infrastructure improvements: new plumbing, new electrical, a well and conventional septic system that are both just a few years old, a new circle driveway that was dug down 6" and road base added near the buildings while gravel is towards the road, and a new back yard retaining wall. Inside, the layout provides an open living and loft sleeping area, vinyl windows, laminate counters, LP gas heat, a fireplace, and a ¾ bath. A mini-split keeps the home comfortable year-round, and the metal roof adds durability. Extra insulation in roof was added to bring it to a R40 insulation value. A crawl space with access from the back exterior of the home holds the water heater and the electrical is ready for an additional heater if you desire to keep the crawl space warm. 200 amp electrical service. 250 gallon LP tank is rented through France. Along the driveway, sits the second small home, a rustic log cabin with 684 sq.ft. & great potential for restoration or creative reuse. With a 14x17 living room, 10x10 kitchen, with a 17x12 area for sleeping quarters, hardwood floors, vaulted ceiling, a pellet stove for heat source, ¾ bath, and a screen porch overlooking the stream, this cabin invites imagination. The log cabin needs TLC inside, on the front south west corner of the shingled roof, and back deck with 3 season area, yet no match for someone ready to roll up their sleeves and bring new life to a unique space. The log cabin is not connected to the septic and currently not connected to water or electric. The 2-car detached garage provides ample storage for vehicles or outdoor equipment, while the surrounding acreage is your private playground for fishing, hunting, or exploring. A wide, shallow trout stream snakes across the acreage, beautiful in every season and a magnet for wildlife. Stream is approximately 70 feet across and 6 inches deep yet raises in the spring. This is a great getaway or year round living: peaceful, simple, and surrounded by nature. Whether you’re a hunter, angler, investor, or visionary, N5489 & N5491 State Road 17 offers a rare chance to shape a property with incredible potential in one of Wisconsin’s most scenic pockets of the Northwoods. Small white home is winterized at this time. Safety update: Do not go on the back deck of log cabin.
