You have to see this property to believe it. Without question, it is one of the finest hunting opportunities seen in many years. Imagine owning 160 acres that border Marinette County on the north and State of Wisconsin land on the east and south sides of your land. Now imagine one of Wisconsin's oldest and largest private hunting properties right next door, and those neighbors exist primarily for grouse hunting. To the south and east of your new land is the Dunbar Barrens, 1,400 acres of land that is completely managed to improve natural habitat, not only to keep native species strong, but to create and maintain habitat for wildlife, birds, butterflies and all living creatures native to the area. The Barrens have controlled burns designed to return the land to what it may have been many generations ago. The amount of wildlife found in this region is remarkable. Proper management of the Barrens has helped with all things living in the region. There are approximately 11 miles of primitive roads within the controlled area that allow you to enjoy hunting, trapping, wildlife viewing, hiking, cross-country skiing and gathering of wild edibles. And you get all of that land for "free".

Within the borders of your new property are a number of fabulous food plots, with elevated blinds perfectly placed to ensure success. Take a good look at the game pictures from this property. Since the 80s, it has provided continued success because of its intentional layout and design. Miles of trails and roads support the property to make it easy to travel to the many blinds already in place. A new plot was recently added just east of the cabin. From the deck of the cabin, you will be able to enjoy the spectacle of the rut, turkeys, and grouse, and certainly an occasional bear. On any given night, you will likely see 40 deer, or more, coming to the plots. They come to feed from miles away and the big bucks always know that the does will spend their time close to feed. If you don't have success here, it is likely because you failed to get out of bed.

The cabin will immediately warm your heart. A gorgeous fireplace highlights the living area, there are two bedrooms on the main level, and a good-sized loft with a number of beds at the upper level. A drilled well provides the water to the bathroom and power is provided by solar panels, batteries and a generator. This off-grid property is really special. The east side of the deck is enclosed and screened, but the open area on the southeast corner of the cabin will become your favored place for a drink in the evening or a cup of coffee in the morning. Without question, you will be checking your cell cameras every day to see which food plot is being hit the hardest, and your day will be planned by the time of their most recent arrival. The garage is a good size and provides another place for sleeping as your group gets larger. Between the cabin and the loft in the garage, this facility will easily handle a group of 10 or more. LP gas is used for the kitchen stove, gas lights, hot water heater, and space heater; a woodstove adds even more heat when needed. If you spend less than 30 minutes looking at the pictures in the cabin, you did yourself an injustice. The complete history of this property is told by looking at the happy faces who had another successful day while they were at the Pothole Lake Lodge, named for a local lake not far from camp. Whether they were hunting turkeys, deer, bear, or grouse, whether they just arrived back at camp with a stringer of "monster trout" found in one of the pools of the local trout streams, the guests fortunate enough to be asked to be a part of this camp have always appreciated an invitation. This is a rare property; evidence of its success is found throughout this listing and certainly on the walls of the cabin. It would be a real surprise if you didn't feel a sense of peace when you drove up the lane to the cabin, parked your car and looked over the food plot east of the cabin to see what it feeds today. An opportunity to own and enjoy this land and lodge does not come along in most people's lifetimes. If you decide to take the time to see it, you will not be disappointed.
