Aerial view of 200 feet of private Lake Superior shoreline at 55161 Corbine Rd in Ashland, WI, showing the grandfathered concrete break wall along the water's edge and the wooded 1.93-acre property above.

What Makes This Property Special

200 Feet of Accessible Lake Superior Shoreline

This is the part that does not come along often. Two hundred feet of private, accessible Lake Superior frontage, with level ground and medium tree coverage leading down to the water, and no road between the shoreline and the cabin. The sun sets over the water in front of you, and the view is open and panoramic in both directions. Shoreline you can actually walk, on a lake this size, is the reason to see this property in person.

A Rare, Grandfathered Break Wall

The standout feature is a grandfathered break wall built from large sections of an original concrete dock, forming a one-of-a-kind walkable edge right along the water. Structures like this are effectively no longer permitted on the Lake Superior shore, so what exists here cannot be replicated on a new build. It is unlike anything else currently on the market, and it gives you a solid, usable platform at the lake's edge.

Secluded, Wooded, and Ready to Enjoy

The 1.93 +/- acre parcel is wooded and private, set back off a gravel drive with the water in front and trees around you. It is a working retreat, not a project: the cabin, bunkhouse building, and garage are already in place, so you can spend the first weekend on the shoreline instead of on a punch list.

Property Highlights

The Cabin

Built in 2020, the cabin offers 575 finished square feet with a full main-floor bath, kitchen, pantry, and living room, plus a loft bedroom above. A fireplace and electric heat keep it comfortable, and the covered front porch is the spot to sit and watch the sun go down over the water. Range, refrigerator, and washer are included.

Bunkhouse Building & Detached Garage

A 15x23 building with 200-amp electric service gives you real flexibility: finish it as a bunkhouse for overflow guests, a workshop, or secure storage. A detached 2-car garage adds room for vehicles, boats, and gear, which matters on a property meant for year-round use.

Room to Build

With nearly two acres and the existing buildings clustered efficiently, there is space left to build a year-round home or a second cabin and make the property your own, while keeping the original cabin as a guest house. Zoning is residential. Buyers should verify building plans and setbacks with Ashland County.

Utilities, Taxes & Terms

Private well, holding tank sewer, and electric service through Xcel Energy. Frame and wood construction with wood-frame windows and a gravel driveway. 2025 taxes were $2,001.98. Located in the Ashland (WI) #170 school district. Terms accepted include cash and conventional financing, with possession at close of escrow. Buyer and buyer's agent to verify dimensions, square footage, and lot lines.
