What Makes This Land Special
Wooded Land for Sale in Washburn, WI — End-of-the-Road Privacy
This 5-acre wooded land for sale in Washburn, WI is tucked at the very end of Sky Rd in the Town of Washburn — about as private as Northwoods land gets. Access is via an undeveloped town road right-of-way with a short walk in from the end of Sky Rd — the kind of setup that keeps casual traffic out and gives you a quiet, natural retreat all your own. There is no sign on the property, so please arrange a showing before visiting.
Mature Northern Hardwoods on High, Rolling Ground
The full five acres are covered in heavy, mature northern hardwood tree cover across high, rolling terrain, roughly 330 ft x 660 ft. It's a classic Northwoods woodland — full canopy, natural character, and the seasonal color that draws people to Bayfield County in the first place.
Minutes from Washburn & Chequamegon Bay
Seclusion doesn't have to mean isolation. You're just minutes from downtown Washburn and the Lake Superior beaches of Chequamegon Bay, so groceries, dining, the marina, and the water are all close at hand. It's a rare combination of genuine privacy with easy access to town.

Endless Possibilities
Your Own Northwoods Getaway
A quiet, heavily wooded five acres at the end of a dead-end road is the ideal spot for a camping retreat or seasonal Northwoods basecamp. Pitch a tent, park a camper, or set up a rustic getaway and disappear into the trees for a weekend or a season.
Hunting & Recreation Land
Mature hardwood cover and a secluded setting make this a natural draw for whitetail deer, grouse, and small game. Use it as a private hunting camp or a base for hiking, foraging, and Northwoods exploring across the surrounding region.
Affordable Land Investment
Bayfield County recreational land at this price point and this tax level is easy to hold for the long term. Buy now, enjoy it as-is, and keep your options open for the future.
Rustic Cabin or Off-Grid Escape
For the right buyer, five private wooded acres is a blank canvas for a rustic cabin or off-grid retreat. Because access is a walk-in right-of-way with no existing driveway, buyers should confirm access, driveway, and building requirements with Bayfield County before making plans — but the seclusion and setting are hard to beat.
