northwest wisconsin lake home: REDUCED: 2 BR chalet on the Minong Flowage NW Wisconsin $245,000 - 16683 S Eagle Point Rd, Wascott - 07/21/10 02:48 AM

Why is this cabin such a bargain? Two main reasons.  First, it’s smaller than most of the homes available on this lake.  Still, it’s a rare opportunity to be on a premiere lake at a bargain price.
  
Second, this cabin’s décor is admittedly a bit dated.  But these are small details; the cabin could be totally transformed by a quick cosmetic makeover.

northwest wisconsin lake home: What You Should Know About Wells - 07/16/10 02:51 AM
When you’re shopping for a home or cabin in Northwestern Wisconsin, you should know about the two main types of wells.  If you do, you’ll be able to make a better, more informed buying decision.  Here’s a quick overview.
The first type is called a drilled well.  These wells are drilled deeper, and they’re a larger diameter.  They usually have a submersible pump.  These wells are more reliable and more efficient; they also yield a larger volume of water.  The water from these wells usually tastes better, too.
The second type is called a driven well.  Sometimes it’s also called a … (0 comments)

northwest wisconsin lake home: Is Lake Superior right for you? And what about Madeline Island? - 07/12/10 01:35 AM
In one of my blog entries, I described LCO as being especially large, deep, and cold.  Of course, that’s all relative; when it comes to large, deep, and cold, nothing can quite compare with Lake Superior.  Around here, we sometimes just call it “the big lake.”  As in… “Yesterday we took a charter boat out on the big lake.  Today I think I’ll just cast a few times from the end of our dock.”
The Lake Superior experience isn’t for everyone.  Most people who live on the big lake tend to admire the scenery more than they actually get out on … (1 comments)

northwest wisconsin lake home: Septic Systems Simplified - 07/11/10 09:04 AM
For this blog entry, I’d like to address a topic that may not be very glamorous.  But it’s one that’s important to know about when you’re buying a home or cabin up north, Northwest Wisconsin.  If you’re living in town, then you probably have city water and sewer.  All you need to worry about now is paying a small bill every month.  But once you move to the country, you’re on your own.  Don’t worry, though.  Most of the time these systems work just fine. 
Still, before you buy a home or cabin, it’s important to know about its septic … (1 comments)
