4268 Crane Lake Road

Don’t miss this rare chance to own an exclusive slice of Northwoods Heaven offering opportunities at both ruffed and spruce grouse, whitetails and black bears—increasing populations of moose also live here. The 160-acre property features an impressive array of mature timber, exceptional wildlife habitat and annual income thanks to a 50-year Sustainable Forest Initiative Act (SFIA) contract that earns over $3,300 in 2026. The active woodland management plan—specifically written for this property—allows for annual selective timber harvest to create strategic trail systems, habitat improvement and more. Three specific acres were left out of the SFIA program to accommodate a future off-grid hunting cabin build site, which also happens to be located along the property’s peak. Speaking of terrain, there is an 80-foot drop in elevation beginning at the northern section of the property, and easily drops into low land located near the southern reaches of the 160 acres. The southeastern half of the property borders over 240 acres of state-forest land that also provides access to the Vermilion River, which flows north out of Lake Vermilion into Crane Lake on the Canadian border. There is over 1,100 acres of state land to the south, and a 40-acre parcel of Conservation Fund land to the east—only adding to huntable acres. Accessible through a legally established 564-foot easement off of Crane Lake Road, the 160 acres are split between three parcels—an 80 to the south topped off by two 40s stacked to the north. Undeniably, there’s something spiritual about the Northwoods. Perhaps it’s the unknown, or the true potential for amazing wildlife encounters with mature whitetails or the stunning spruce grouse. Take advantage of this gorgeous opportunity, it won’t last very long.
