Turn-key cabin that offers both direct river frontage and immediate access to state land is a rare combination, especially with the heavy lifting of a 2007 "down to the studs" rebuild already done. It checks all the boxes for your up north getaway including fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, riding ATV's, mountain biking, XC skiing, snowshoeing, privacy, a wood stove for chilly nights and all the relaxing you can handle! The river is across the very lightly travelled dirt road which has an additional building spot cleared and ready for another cabin, year round home or pole building. Take a nature filled stroll to Guernsey Lake for a swim or sit by the campfire with a good read. Either way, you win!
