Sheep Camp 11

Description

Property Description

This approximately 280-acre forestland tract in the Town of Washington, Rusk County, offers excellent year-round access from Broken Arrow Road. The road is blacktop approaching the property and transitions to a well-improved gravel road just east of the tract. A new entrance gate and high-quality interior woods road provide convenient access throughout the property. The generally flat to gently rolling terrain is primarily upland, with lowland inclusions that add habitat diversity and visual interest. Timber is predominantly aspen across three relatively close age classes, with approximately a 10-year spread between the youngest and oldest stands. Maple, oak—including bur oak retained in the overstory following recent harvests—and red pine add species diversity. Recent harvest activity has created thick cover and productive early successional wildlife habitat. No electrical or utility infrastructure is apparent directly adjacent to the property. The property is enrolled in the Managed Forest Law (MFL) program for tax relief, and adjacent lands are also available for a larger contiguous ownership.

The Surrounding Area

Located just south of Ladysmith and north of the Holcombe Flowage, the property provides a convenient gateway to the Northwoods of northern Wisconsin. The surrounding region is defined by abundant public lands, forests, rivers, lakes, and four-season recreation. To the west, the Chippewa and Flambeau rivers offer scenic opportunities for fishing, paddling, boating, and wildlife viewing. Substantial tracts of Rusk County Forest and Chippewa County Forest lie nearby to the southwest, extending the recreational landscape with additional opportunities for hunting, hiking, snowmobiling, and year-round exploration. The Holcombe Flowage and the many lakes and flowages throughout Rusk County further enhance the area’s appeal for water-based recreation. Although the setting feels private and secluded, the property remains conveniently accessible from the Eau Claire–Chippewa Falls area. This balance of privacy, regional access, and nearby outdoor amenities makes the tract well suited for a private retreat, recreational base, hunting property, or future Northwoods home.
