Property Description

Hidden out of sight on the edge of the City of Bayfield, this former deer farm of 29.79+/- acres has incredible Lake Superior views and phenomenal development potential. With mature red oak, white pine and birch woods, it could be a conservation subdivision holding the grassy field, meadow and woods in common with luxury townhomes with the view of Lake Superior above the mature woods. The meadow on the upper glacial ridge is blooming with native flowers throughout summer, surrounded by mature forests with mushrooms and moss. Several pocket neighborhoods could be nestled on the glacial ridges with views of the meadow and field and the ferry headed to Madeline Island on Lake Superior in the distance. It could have mixed housing with houses or apartments on the upper meadow, and duplexes looking out over the lower field. Any of these could be built in the Bayfield Township parcel. The City of Bayfield parcel has existing lots which could be rezoned to create a neighborhood of small homes around a central circular field. It has access from other platted streets. All these could have connected walking trails from the old orchard, along the deep ravine with water running all year, up the slopes to the meadow and more. The locals have used the property as a hidden park for cross-country skiing and exercising dogs for years. Just minutes to downtown Bayfield but completely private with its access through the old apple orchard. This is the only large, private, and unbuilt piece of land so close to the city of Bayfield, the most preferred home location in all of Bayfield County.
