Property Details

Located in Central Langlade County, this property teases the explorer in us all.

87.27 acres near Deerbrook in the Town of Upham. The kind of ground that doesn’t show you everything at once.

The south end is elevated, rolling, and timbered up with mature maple and popple the way this part of Wisconsin used to look everywhere. There’s a trail system already cut through, the terrain breaks naturally into good stand locations, and up on the high ground there’s a cleared area big enough for a couple campers or a cabin site with a view of the water below. Somebody put thought into this place before you got here — planted apple trees, fully caged and coming along nice, and cleared out a few spots that are just waiting to go into food plots. The habitat work is already underway. You’re walking into a deer hunting setup that’s been started right.

Keep going south and you’ll find a cranberry lake that doesn’t show up on most people’s radar. There’s a peninsula out there with a dock on the water. It’s the kind of spot that’s hard to explain until you’re standing on it. Quiet. Flat. Water on three sides. Bring a kayak or just sit on that dock in the morning and watch the mist come off the lake. You earned it.

Walk north and the whole feel of the property changes. The hardwoods give way to tamarack, cedar, hemlock, and balsam. Cedar islands break up the swamp. Alder thickets push in from the edges. It’s that transition habitat that holds deer from October through the end of the season, and it’s the kind of cover that most hunters don’t have the patience to push through — which is exactly why it’s worth pushing through. A simple pair of rubber boots gave us access to everything with ease. We even found a couple old trails in the northern portion of the property that would give way to some secluded spots for the wariest of whitetails. Mixed in this is a enclosed blind the seller will leave. A simple day with a brush cutter and you’ll have some shooting lanes and a killer spot to stay warm on all day sits.

The wildlife sign up on the highlands is serious. Rubs on the timber edges, scrapes along the trails, worn paths going every direction. With apple trees pulling deer and food plots in the works, this ground is being set up the right way.

Getting around is easy. Driveway cuts in from Bogus Road, power runs to the property line, and the internal trail system covers the whole property. The Langlade County UTV and ATV trail system runs right along the road — you’ve got direct access to one of the best trail networks in the state without ever hitching up the trailer.

It’s buildable. It’s secluded. It’s loaded with habitat. And it sits right in the heart of Langlade County lake country, which is saying something. A plethora of lakes within a ten-mile radius will have you throwing a dart at the map to decide which one to hit first.

Lastly, the view from the build site is something to behold. Not many places in this state let you overlook most of your own property the way this one does. Sitting around the campfire at the end of a long day of adventures, you’ll already be pining for the next trip back to your happy place.
