Discover the Impossible: A 5-Acre Waterfront Sanctuary in the City
Rarely does a property emerge that defies the standard definition of "in-town" living. This is a true "unicorn" estate, offering the rarest of opportunities to secure a 5.04-acre private compound with a total of 219’ of calm Chippewa River frontage. Uniquely shielded by a natural island screen, the water remains tranquil—perfect for paddling, swimming, or docking a pontoon in total seclusion.
The Strategy & Options: This estate is designed for those who demand ultimate privacy. The property is offered in three ways to suit your vision:
THE FULL COMPOUND ($1,150,000): The crown jewel. Includes the residence on .93 acres, the adjacent .77-acre buildable lot, and the essential 3.34-acre outlot. This massive outlot is the "secret sauce" of the property—it provides the buffer that ensures your sanctuary remains untouched and private forever. Note: The 3.34-acre outlot is exclusive to the full estate purchase.
THE RESIDENCE ($700,000): A low-maintenance ranch-style home on .93 acres with 116’ of frontage. Features a 2-car attached garage PLUS a substantial, heated 3+ car detached shop. Just 10 easy steps lead you to the water’s edge and a flat, manicured yard with a fire pit and hot tub.
THE BUILDABLE LOT ($300,000): A prime .77-acre parcel with 103’ of river frontage. Perfect for a secondary residence or to hold as a long-term investment in neighborhood equity.
Whether you are looking for comfortable residence with a shop or the "Legacy Land" to create a multi-generational family compound, this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity. They simply aren't making any more of this.
