Property Description
With over 1,700 feet of frontage along the northern shore of Wilson Lake and eastern shore of Intermediate River, this exceptional 22+ acre property offers paved county road access and endless possibilities for your Up North retreat, hunting getaway, waterfront escape, or future development. The property’s acreage and frontage provide the opportunity to create multiple parcels, or keep the land intact and choose from several elevated home sites with stunning views down the length of Wilson Lake or overlooking the river. A firm, ORV-drivable trail provides access from the uplands to the waterfront. A three-bedroom, one-bath home currently sits on the property, complete with a covered deck overlooking the lake. Renovate it into your northern retreat or use it as a charming guest house while you build your dream home. A two-car garage provides convenient storage for your equipment and recreational gear. The varied landscape includes uplands, lowlands, and firm shoreline, offering plenty of options for creating a private waterfront space for boating, fishing, swimming, or simply enjoying the scenery. Approximately eight acres of lowland provide natural habitat that is sure to attract wildlife, making this an appealing hunting property as well. With this much acreage and waterfront, opportunities like this are rarely available. Spend the day enjoying all-sports activities from Wilson Lake to Intermediate Lake, or paddle the lakes and rivers throughout the Upper Chain-of-Lakes. Whether you envision a private retreat, family compound, hunting haven, or development opportunity, this property invites you to use your imagination and create something truly special Up North.
