A rare opportunity to own a truly unique and historic farmstead featuring 200 acres and approximately 4,400 feet of pristine meandering Burntside River shoreline. Set in a peaceful meadow surrounded by mature pine forest, this one-of-a-kind property offers breathtaking panoramic views of the river and a tranquil Northwoods setting. The rustic farmhouse combines an original dovetail log structure with a framed wood addition, offering two bedrooms and one bathroom. The open-concept kitchen and living area capture beautiful southern views of the river and surrounding forest. Approximately 11 acres comprise the road-accessible homestead, while the majority of the acreage lies across the Burntside River, providing exceptional privacy and natural beauty, with rolling hills of Norway pine throughout the south forties. Please note that the land across the river is not accessible by road. The property is abundant with wildlife: ducks, geese, grouse, deer and more. Steeped in history and rich in character, the property includes several original dovetail log outbuildings that add timeless charm and authentic appeal. Whether you're seeking a private retreat, recreational getaway, restoration project, or the foundation for a future homestead, this remarkable property offers endless possibilities in an extraordinary setting.
