Secluded, End-of-the-Road Location With Abundant Wildlife

Thanks to its many natural springs, this stretch of the Totogatic never freezes, even on the coldest winter days.  That’s one reason wildlife is especially abundant here.  You’ll see deer, wild turkeys, and waterfowl nearly every day.  You’ll occasionally see eagles, otters, herons, and various other wildlife.  Trees are a mix of old-growth pines and hardwoods.  The property includes a number of especially large white pines.

1700’ of Frontage on a Wild River

A rare opportunity to own 1700’ of peninsular frontage on an officially designated Wild River.  This designation, signed into law in 2009, ensures that the Totogatic will be protected and kept wild for future generations.  (This designation has little effect on the property itself.  It does NOT involve condemnation or future purchases of private property.)  Although the Totogatic isn’t part of the nearby Saint Croix Wild and Scenic River system, this property is definitely wild and scenic.

Custom Built in 2006, With Special Touches Throughout

Open floorplan with pine paneling upstairs, pine accents downstairs, quality and attention to detail throughout.  Expansive windows showcase panoramic views of river valley.  Huge kitchen with walk-in pantry.  Master suite includes shower, whirlpool, and walk-in closet.  Four-season porch with adjacent balcony.  Large downstairs rec area with TV room/office space, kitchenette, and sauna.

Bunkhouse, Heated Shop Area, Garages, Gazebo, and Other Outbuildings

Just across the driveway, there’s a bunkhouse for additional guests; beneath it, a two-car garage.  The home itself has a one-car garage, plus a heated shop area.  There’s also a large riverside gazebo, woodsheds, and other outbuildings.

Fenced Garden With Raised Beds

Yes, you can live in the woods and continue to enjoy gardening.  All it takes is some good fencing to protect your garden from the deer and wild turkeys.

Abundant Recreational Opportunities Nearby

You’ll be close to the Minong Flowage, the Namekagon, and dozens of other lakes and streams that are great for fishing, waterfowling, birding, boating, paddling, or just exploring.  You’ll also be close to abundant trails and public land.

Secluded But Accessible

This secluded location is surprisingly accessible.  It’s 2.5 hours from the Twin Cities, 2 hours from Eau Claire, and just over 1 hour from Superior or Duluth.  It’s also within easy commuting distance of Spooner or Hayward.
