First time offered Robinson Lake waterfront property with 13+ acres, approximately 328 feet of frontage, and navigable access to the Eau Claire Chain of Lakes and Bony Lake. This is a rare opportunity to secure a large waterfront parcel with mature pines, low elevation to the water, a well maintained, existing 3-season cabin, & significant future-use potential. The cabin features 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, & just under 800 square feet of living space. It includes lake-facing windows, wall furnace heat, laundry hookups, furnishings, and a functional layout for seasonal enjoyment. The water system is not currently set up for year-round use. Use the cabin now as a private getaway, guest cabin, or base camp while planning future improvements. The waterfront is well suited for boating and fishing, with a sandy bottom, some weeds, & enough depth at the end of the included dock for a fishing boat or pontoon. Robinson Lake is navigable to the Eau Claire Chain of Lakes & Bony Lake, giving this property access to a highly desirable and much larger lake system. Swimming may be possible, though buyers will likely appreciate this frontage most for fishing, boating, paddling, and quiet enjoyment. The property includes a private driveway, 1-car garage, and a gorgeous wooded setting with many mature pine trees. Located approximately 30 minutes from Hayward, with Starlink available, it offers a strong balance of privacy and accessibility. The 13+ acre parcel provides rare flexibility. Potential options include building a new lake home while keeping the current cabin for guests, enjoying the land as one private lake retreat, or exploring subdivision of an additional lake lot and back lot. A surveyor has provided an approximate split believed to be workable; any subdivision is subject to Bayfield County Zoning approval & buyer verification. For buyers looking beyond a standard lake cabin, this property offers land, frontage, access, privacy, & long-term opportunity in one compelling package.
