Planning to Build? Start Here

The parcel is predominantly lowland, and Bayfield County wetland mapping covers part of it. There is potential for building sites off State Hwy 13 or Bark River Road, but buyers should verify them before purchase. A home site using the existing earthen drive off Hwy 13 would need a driveway access permit from WisDOT.

Rick can share the county mapping and recommend local certified soil testers.

Minutes from Herbster and Lake Superior

The parcel sits along Hwy 13 between Herbster and Cornucopia, with the Lake Superior beach at the mouth of the Cranberry River a few minutes away. Explore more Bayfield County real estate.

About Herbster

The Setting:

Herbster is a small community on the South Shore of Lake Superior, surrounded by Bayfield County forest land. The Cranberry River meets the lake at the town's public beach.

Recreation:

Deer and grouse hunting, Lake Superior beaches, and Bayfield County's snowmobile and ATV trail system, which connects the South Shore communities.

Nearby:

Downtown Herbster and Cornucopia are each a few minutes away on Hwy 13. The Apostle Islands mainland shoreline and the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest are both within easy reach.

Why It Matters:

Affordable acreage with year-round town road access and electric nearby is hard to come by near the lake, and Herbster WI land for sale with these features does not come up often. At $74,900 for 29 +/- acres, this parcel is an accessible way into South Shore land ownership.
