What Makes This Washburn WI Land for Sale Special

Sunrise Views over Chequamegon Bay & Ashland

This 40-acre parcel sits on high, level ground above Lake Superior's Chequamegon Bay. Just across the road, the land opens up to sweeping views of the bay, the city of Ashland to the south, and breathtaking sunrises over the water. With thoughtful site selection and selective clearing, a home here has the potential to capture its own bay view — walk the land with us to see the sightlines for yourself.

End-of-the-Road Privacy

The parcel sits at the end of a peaceful dead-end road in Bayfield County, with no through-traffic. At a half-mile deep, there is room to set a building site well back from the road and surround it with your own woods.

Boundaries approximate; buyer to verify with survey.

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 in the surrounding woodland.

Endless Possibilities

Build Your Dream Home or Cabin

Imagine starting your mornings with a sunrise over the bay. Level building sites across the parcel, with the elevation offering potential sightlines toward Chequamegon Bay with selective clearing. Town of Washburn, Bayfield County zoning — verify intended use with the county prior to building plans.

Hunting & Recreation Land

40 acres of mature woodland 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 near the bay with power access has been steadily appreciating. At $6,998 per acre, this parcel is priced fairly for the location, acreage, and infrastructure. Hold for value, develop later, or split for family compound use — the optionality is real. Washburn WI land for sale with power at the road and the bay this close does not come up often.

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 mature trees and the bay just across the road is hard to match in northern Wisconsin.
