Just north of Athens in beautiful northwest Marathon County, this exclusive property offers 40 meticulously maintained acres of timber, fields and trails with a gorgeous Ojibwa Log Home overlooking an expansive yard. The offering has limitless potential as a trophy hunting legacy property, a full time residence, and/or a turnkey retreat. The 1,526 square foot 2+ bed / 1 bath home with high end finishes has been extremely well cared for. Modern appliances, tile and wood floors, custom cabinets and trim is just the beginning. The fully finished basement includes a generously-sized bedroom and an additional family room. The open-air loft is 300 square feet and offers additional space. The 40? x 36? post frame heated garage has 10? sidewalls. The home has a dual fuel heating system with a Prestige Wall Mount Gas Boiler and a Central Boiler Classic outside wood burner. A large back deck is off the main entrance and a full-length, covered porch provides a wonderful place to view the large, wildlife-filled back yard. The home has too many amenities to list and is offered fully furnished. The beauty and accessibility of the 40 acres must be seen to be appreciated. The home is set in the approximate geographical center of the 40 acres. This offers a wonderful esacape, privacy, and daily encounters with all manners of wildlife. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a turnkey wilderness retreat.
