Your new property is completely surrounded by the Nicolet National Forest. Asphalt roads get you to your property and serve the entire north border; electricity, a well, and septic are already in place. The food plots have become the gathering place for deer and turkeys tempted by the growth of the newest plantings, and at the edge of the plots, you will find apple and plum trees to make their meal complete. As you study the map, you cannot help but understand why this is such a valuable piece of real estate.

The food plots have been planted with oilseed radishes, winter rye, and purple top radishes. As can be expected, the fields continually look like they have been mowed, with every plant at the same height. The habitat that surrounds the plots holds the deer, which cannot help but come to feed here on a daily basis. With the volume of deer in this area, the seller has enrolled the property in the DMAP program—a deer management assistance program that the DNR uses to determine the number of deer in a given area. DMAP participants share local deer harvest records, observation data, trail camera photos, and habitat details to help the DNR manage regional deer populations. In return for hanging a camera on the land, the landowner is "given" 4 doe permits per year, and if the owner runs out, the DNR offers the opportunity for the owner to purchase more tags. Being a part of DMAP is not mandatory, but the information provided through the program can be very beneficial to sustaining a large and healthy herd over time.

Think about owning a large property that is surrounded by National Forest; you know that nobody will ever build close to you, and you now own a piece of land that measures 1/2 mile by 1/2 mile where the food plots are the favored place for almost all of the local deer to spend their time. The apple trees, plum trees, radishes, and rye just keep sucking the deer out of the National Forest, doing their job to make everyone who drives by extremely jealous. You can count on one thing for sure: you will have more friends than you ever imagined if you own this land.

There is a shooting stand for lining up your rifle, storage buildings, a sawmill to help with future expansion, blinds and ladder stands, and a trail system that is as good as anyone can imagine. This property is ready right now for as many friends as you would like to join you. Since the land that surrounds your property is a part of the National Forest, your group can easily spread out, and nobody in your group will have to infringe on someone else's hunting spot. As the land rolls, great changes in elevation are seen in all directions. A small pond is found on the west side, and virtually no land is considered to be wetland. Wetlands are found just off the edge of the property in the National Forest; some deer hold up there and then spend the rest of their time on this land, as would be expected. When there is any pressure, you can easily imagine where the deer will end up: on your land. There is another hidden food plot that has not been planted in a number of years, surrounded by large trees and located in a valley that is absolutely gorgeous, along with several other areas that have been mowed and are ready to be planted. Very large bears are found in this area—another added bonus for those seeking to add to their hunting experiences.

The Cabin

The cabin has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, a living room, kitchen, and a basement with an oil furnace and another wood-burning furnace. An additional wood-burning unit is found in the living/kitchen area for those times when the downstairs furnace is not needed. A window air conditioner keeps a bedroom cool. Spectrum has recently buried cable at the road, which would be available to the next owner if desired. A sand point well is in place that provides the water for the house, and the septic system was recently improved with a new, larger tank capable of supporting another bedroom or two if the next owner decides to add on.

Storage and Additional Buildings

There is a 30' x 48' steel storage building with a concrete floor that has an open-sided lean-to, adding another 40' x 12' area to store other items under cover. Another small building is used to hold ladder stands, while another stores the Northern Tool Sawmill. The sawmill has a 9' carriage and is equipped with a gas engine, recently fired up and ready to go. A number of extra bands are ready to be put on when needed. Several stacks of wood are under cover, along with some additional dry pine logs ready to be cut into lumber. Another small building is used to store hunting clothes only.

A Honda 4-wheeler is included with the property in addition to a number of farm implements used to maintain the food plots. They include a brush mower, plow, back blade, rock rake, spring tooth drag, cultipacker, quacker, all ladder stands in the shed, and ground blinds. There is an International tractor that can be purchased, depending on the quality of the offer.

Selling Price

The entire property (160+/- acres) is being offered at the very fair price of $875,000. The seller will offer the option for someone to purchase the east 87.5+/- acres for $513,000 (this portion holds all of the buildings and the east food plots). The remaining 72.5+/- acres found on the west side of the property will only be sold after the cabin portion has been sold, and the price of the 72.5+/- acres will be $393,000. It, too, holds a food plot, the pond, and great trails, but no buildings are involved here. Since electricity is found along the road, if the 72.5+/- acres are still available, it provides a fabulous place to build.

If you are looking for a property ready to provide results—one that is priced well, has the needed equipment for maintaining your trails and food plots, and has proven success—your search is over.
