RARE FIND Tug Hill Paradise with income potential!!! This private getaway is an exceptional discovery and one that should not be overlooked. With expansive acreage that could be subdivided, a winsome chalet-style cabin on the edges of the West Branch of Fish Creek and income potential — this site checks A LOT of boxes! Five combined lots join to form a recreational paradise in an area known for exceptional hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, ATV riding and an overall attitude that leans toward outdoor activity. However, there’s so much more!!! What makes this property so unique is the working sand and gravel mine that offers income potential to those willing to continue its use. Real estate agents are often asked, “how can I find a property that will help pay for itself”? This rare find may present the answer to that burning question. Nestled on a private gravel road in a sun-drenched opening within peering view of the West Branch of Fish Creek is a nearly-finished cabin complete with kitchen, bathroom, loft and all the creature comforts to make this a home away from home or cozy primary residence. This off-grid cabin features a generous footprint with an open concept where the flowing living space drifts from one room to the other, mirroring the attitude of the adjacent creek’s gentle waters. With access to a generator and propane — “off grid” doesn’t equal uncomfortable. A full bathroom details a standup shower with glass doors and fully-functional modern finishes. Upstairs is a spacious, full-height loft and catwalk overlooking the open living area below and large enough to fit furnishings and king-sized bed. The spacious great room features vaulted ceilings, ceiling fans, hookups for gas lamps and a gas stove. Transitioning outside, a recently constructed covered porch with a blue stone floor adds to the ambiance while offering up a place to enjoy the enchantment of the surrounding forest. An additional foundation has also been constructed on the premises, leaving way for the opportunity to build a larger home or cabin in the woods to stand stately while giving additional room for guests. A well designed and constructed stairway creates easy access to the tannin-stained, trout-stocked waters of the West Branch of Fish Creek and makes for a great spot to enjoy quiet hours by the water’s edge. The surrounding forested setting is comprised of a typical Northwoods blend of maple, ash, beech and various conifer trees that offer great hunting and recreation among the stand. Area snowmobile trails are just a stone’s through from the cabin, and pass along the seasonal Lover’s Lane Road as soon as enough of the white stuff flies. Those who seek to find solitude amongst nature will appreciate the serene personality of this land while enjoying the potential benefits of its cash-producing resource. Two of the five lots include improved driveways that stem from the main access road offering a great opportunity for future development of other camp/cabin sites or the ability to subdivide. Permitted for up to 18 acres, the currently-operating sand and gravel mine is utilizing a small footprint of just four acres, giving it plenty of opportunity to scale and provide long-term income. The mine is state-permitted and approved, bonded and providing positive cashflow via its multiple-year lease and supply of extracted sand and gravel material. Easily accessed seasonally from Lovers Lane Rd or year-round from Base Bridge, this private and secluded location is one that yearns to be explored and enjoyed.
