Description

A U.P. hunting tradition awaits on these 120 acres in Skandia, bordered by state land on three sides. Cherished by the same family since 1970, this well-cared-for property has been the setting for decades of memorable hunts, shared stories, and time together in the woods. Built in 1965, the inviting log cabin features a metal roof, covered front porch, and rustic charm throughout. Inside, exposed log beams and wood ceilings frame an open kitchen, dining, and gathering area, with a wood stove providing a cozy place to settle in after a day outdoors. A propane refrigerator and propane cooking stove are included. A separate sleeping area, drilled well, and storage buildings add practical convenience for camp life. The field beside camp is planted with rye and clover to attract deer. Beyond the clearing, spectacular woods feature a mix of cherry, spruce, birch, and maple, with distinctive tree burls adding character along the way. The abundance of maple trees offers the possibility of starting your own maple syrup tradition. A wide, established trail has been maintained through the years with tractor mowing and culverts installed to help manage drainage and reduce washouts. Wide enough to accommodate a car, it provides convenient access for exploring the acreage and transporting supplies. Woodlands, open areas, and wetland habitat create a varied landscape, with beavers and nesting sandhill cranes among the wildlife reported by the owners. The sellers also report that a forester has identified potential for a timber harvest in approximately six to seven years. Seller-owned mineral rights convey with the property. Reminders of the property’s family history include an old well dating back to the owner’s childhood and a truck-loading ramp built by his father. From coffee on the covered porch to days spent in the woods, this special camp is ready for its next chapter of hunting traditions and lasting memories.
