Property Description:

Some properties are all about the cabin. This one is about the land—and the possibilities. Set on nearly 38 beautifully wooded acres with an extraordinary 380 feet of low-elevation, sandy swimming frontage on the crystal-clear waters of Teal Lake, this is a Northwoods property that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. With nearly four times the frontage of a typical lake lot, you'll enjoy exceptional privacy, expansive lake views, and room to create your own retreat. Teal Lake is a 1, 024-acre Quiet Lake, treasured for its peaceful atmosphere, clear water, scenic public islands, and connection to neighboring Lost Land Lake. Spend your days fishing for musky, walleye, northern pike, largemouth and smallmouth bass, or panfish, paddling between the lakes, swimming from your sandy shoreline, or simply enjoying the quiet that makes this area so special. Western exposure delivers beautiful sunset views, and the property borders the Chequamegon National Forest, providing direct access to thousands of acres of public land for hiking, hunting, wildlife watching, and year-round recreation. Originally built in 1950, the 3-bedroom, 1-bath seasonal cabin offers over 1, 200 square feet and sits approximately 45 feet from the water's edge—closer than today's required 75-foot setback. Refresh the existing cabin and enjoy its grandfathered location near the shoreline, or build a new Northwoods home on the spacious, level building area. A newer conventional septic system is already in place, along with electricity, a sandpoint well, Starlink internet availability, several storage sheds, and an included dock. Heated by a wood stove, the cabin can also be enjoyed during the winter months, although the water system is seasonal. Whether you envision a peaceful lake retreat, a hunting property with exceptional waterfront, or a place where family traditions begin, this property offers an opportunity that's hard to duplicate.
