Escape to your private retreat on 80 serene acres of lush woodland, adjacent to Straight Lake State Park and its extensive trail system. The Ice Age Trail is also just down the road. The picturesque Trade River beginning from springs on the property and seasonal ponds in the forest combine to offer endless opportunities to immerse yourself in nature and observe local wildlife. Built in 1979, the cozy cabin exudes rustic charm yet has modern touches like a vaulted ceiling and passive solar design. Screened porches and an attached but separate bedroom with two walls of windows yield 360 degrees of view into the mature open forest. The double garage is generous in width and extra long. Above the garage, you'll find a spacious studio with heat pump heating and cooling, complete with a convenient half bath and wood stove. Most furnishings are included in the sale, making it easy to move in and start enjoying your new home right away. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful weekend getaway, a private deer and turkey hunting reserve, or a year-round residence, this property provides the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience. The land is subject to a conservation easement held by Landmark Conservancy, so you will play a key role in preserving this ecological gem forever. This private conservation easement is not open to the public and still allows for additional building within a 5 acre area. Experience the perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility—this retreat is ready to become your personal haven.
