Recreational Land with Home for Sale in Mercer, Wisconsin

A RARE opportunity to own one of the Northwoods' most extraordinary legacy properties! Originally handcrafted in 1906 from full Tamarack logs, harvested from the property, this timeless cabin was thoughtfully expanded in approx. mid 1980's, blending rustic character with modern comfort. Set on an incredible 96 wooded acres, this private peninsula retreat boasts approximately 1,500 feet of frontage on the 338-acre Lake of the Falls and 2,000 feet of frontage on the Turtle River, offering breathtaking southern and western exposure with unforgettable sunset views. Inside, you'll find an inviting open-concept design featuring a custom kitchen with hickory cabinets, granite countertops, vaulted ceilings, custom bar/hutch cabinetry, dining area with a nook for extra sleeping, and the living room that stretches across the lakeside of the home. A freestanding wood-burning fireplace creates the perfect Northwoods ambiance, while windows outline this room for spectacular water views. The cabin offers 1+ bedroom, 1 bath, and a lakeside deck that's perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. An existing bunk house was moved and preserved with utilities now able to be connected. It is still a work in progress, and you could add your finishing touches to make it your own! Outside, enjoy a newer dock with a bench, a nice level area to get into your canoe/kayak, and evenings gathered around the firepit beneath a canopy of stars. Lots of trails wind throughout the property, ideal for hiking, ATV/UTV adventures, snowshoeing, or simply exploring your own private wilderness.
