This place sits tucked away in Iron County, where the trees just keep going—80 acres of them, mostly hardwoods that creak a bit in the wind. You pull up Fence River Road, and there’s the cabin. It’s a straightforward log setup from 2002, 768 square feet inside with two bedrooms. No fancy bathrooms; there’s a solid outhouse instead, which keeps things simple. Water? You haul it in yourself, like folks have done up here forever. Power runs off a propane generator—just enough for lights and maybe the TV on a quiet evening. Heat comes from the woodstove or a propane wall unit, so you’re stacking logs in fall, watching the flames pop against the chill.

The river’s the real draw. Fence River cuts along the east edge, murmuring over rocks that hold brook trout, or so the rumors go. I’ve heard it’s decent fishing if you know where to drop the line—those quick, silver flashes in the current. The woods around it hum with life. Deer slip through the underbrush at dawn, and grouse drum in the thickets come spring; that thump-thump echoes like a heartbeat in the silence. There are blinds scattered around for hunting season, plus a generator shed and a bigger old camp structure for gear. It’s off-grid enough to feel wild, but power lines hug the road if you ever want to tweak that.

Days here mean coffee on the porch, listening to leaves rustle. Walk the trails you make yourself, or just sit by the riverbank where the air smells sharp, like wet bark and distant rain. It’s not for everyone—winters bite hard, and you’re on your own for most fixes. But if you’re after that northwoods rhythm, where evenings stretch with a book and the only deadline is sunrise, this could fit.

Price $224,900.
