View of Ashland and Chequamegon Bay from 30XXX Brevak Rd 40-acre parcel in Washburn WI, with foreground pasture and tree line

What Makes This Land Special

Panoramic Views of Chequamegon Bay & Ashland

From the high, level ridge of this 40-acre parcel, you take in sweeping views of Lake Superior's Chequamegon Bay, the city of Ashland to the south, and the twinkling shoreline lights at night. This is genuine view land — the kind of vista most Northwoods buyers spend years hunting for and rarely find at this acreage.

End-of-the-Road Privacy, Buffered by Conservation Land

The parcel sits at the end of a peaceful dead-end road and abuts Bayfield County conservation land — a permanent natural buffer that will never be developed. Privacy here isn't dependent on a neighbor's choices; it's protected by the land use itself.

Power at the Street — Build-Ready Without the Setup Cost

One of the most common hidden costs of raw Northwoods land is utility extension — running power down a long private drive can run tens of thousands of dollars. Here, electric service from Xcel Energy is already at the street. Telephone available. Fiber-optic internet, satellite, and mobile hotspot options all in range. Build your cabin, home, or off-grid retreat without starting from zero.

40 Acres of Heavy Tree Coverage on Level, High Ground

660 ft x 2,640 ft — a classic half-mile-deep parcel with heavy mature tree coverage across level, high terrain. Ideal for building, hunting, recreation, or simply holding as long-term Northwoods investment land. Hunting is excellent in this corridor with abundant deer, grouse, and small game thanks to the adjoining conservation acreage.

Endless Possibilities

Build Your Dream Home or Cabin

Imagine waking up to that view every morning. Level building sites across the parcel, with the elevation giving you commanding sightlines toward Chequamegon Bay. Town of Washburn, Bayfield County zoning — verify intended use with the county prior to building plans.

Hunting & Recreation Land

40 acres of mature woodland adjoining county conservation land creates an exceptional hunting corridor. Whitetail deer, grouse, woodcock, and the full range of Northwoods game frequent this terrain. Direct trail access for ATV, snowmobile, and personal recreation use.

Investment & Long-Term Hold

Bayfield County land with bay views and power access has been steadily appreciating. At $7,497 per acre, this parcel is priced fairly for the view, location, and infrastructure. Hold for value, develop later, or split for family compound use — the optionality is real.

Recreational Camping & Off-Grid Living

Whether you want a primitive campsite, a tiny home base, or a fully off-grid cabin retreat, 40 private acres on a dead-end road with the views, the trees, and the bay in the distance is hard to match in northern Wisconsin.
