143734 County Road U Wausau, WI 54401

Rare opportunity to own one of Marathon County's premier land properties, with spectacular views in every direction, just minutes from city amenities, medical facilities and schools. Consisting of 3 parcels for a total of 68.798 acres, this property has it all - rolling hills, streams, a spring fed pond, prime tillable acreage, mixed hardwood forests, pasture land, wetland areas, awesome buildings and incredible Rib Mountain views in the heart of the property's Northern border. You will be surprised by the privacy that this property provides and how large this property feels because of the rolling terrain. Included is a cute, neat and clean, two bedroom, one bath home, with a two car detached garage and a deck with a screen porch, that is perfect for those seeking beauty, simplicity, easy living and a sustainable lifestyle. There are a number of building sites on the property that would provide commanding views and a peaceful landscape to look over, for those who wish to build their dream home. There are four driveways currently located on the property that would provide easy access to a building site on each of the three parcels. The spring fed pond has a mean depth of 6 feet, with an area that is 14 feet deep and hosts a variety of species of fish, including native Brook Trout. There is a lovely, restored barn on the property, with a 35' X 68' main level with an 11' X 68' attached lean to and a huge 46' X 68' upper level (hay mow). The restoration includes new posts and beams, new steel roof, new green treated plywood floor, excavation to provide ideal drainage and masonry work. This is a perfect property for those with horses but the barn would be ideal for all varieties of farm animals, entertaining, recreation equipment storage and could possibly be converted into a home. The old milk house has been reconstructed into a gardening shed, with a deck which overlooks the pond, with clear polycarbonate roof panels that allow for an early spring greenhouse environment for starting plants. There is a chicken coop with a heavy duty chicken run that is "move in" ready. The multiple raised bed gardens are protected by liquid fence and are watered with a high capacity pump near the pond. The current Owners walk the entire property twice daily and you will see why if you walk it only once. The fields are perfect for grazing animals and planting crops. The streams indicate that native Brook Trout are able to reproduce and the exit point of the pond babbles over a rock waterfall. The wooded areas are dynamic and have recreational vehicle trails, a variety of wild mushrooms and a deer hunting stand. Don't miss out - properties like this are almost never available.
