This show-stopping 120-acre property is surrounded in 3 directions by Jay Cooke State Park which boasts over 8,000 acres of accessible land and is an absolute dream for outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, horseback riders, or anyone seeking space and privacy. With a mix of cleared, previously farmed land (neighbor makes hay) untouched trees, rolling hills, and two creeks (Little Silver and Silver Creek, which is a designated tributary), this property is perfect for exploring, hunting, fishing, farming, or any number of outdoor activities! The farmhouse has 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, 3-season sunroom, deck, 3-stall and 1-stall garages. Abundant wildlife and the utmost privacy await with Jay Cooke's hundreds of miles of recreational hiking and ski trails right out your back door. Jay Cooke’s famous swinging bridge is under a mile's walk away, and the Willard Munger and Alex Laveau Trails are close by, plus the Soo Line is less than 4 miles away for access to 100+ miles of snowmobile and ATV trails. Whether you intend to split the property or preserve this natural wonderland, this is an incredible opportunity that you must see for yourself!
