4 Acres with a Creek, New Roof and Bones Already Updated — $125,000

The roof is new metal. The plumbing is new. The electrical is new. The insulation is new. Someone already did the expensive, invisible work on this place, and now it's sitting at $125,000 on 4 acres in Juneau County waiting for whoever wants to finish it.

The house is 1,434 square feet, three bedrooms, two baths, and it's partially drywalled. Stubbed out and ready, but you're going to be picking up a hammer. That's the deal here. If you're looking for a finished house, this is the wrong listing. If you're comfortable finishing drywall and making decisions about flooring and fixtures, you're looking at a property where the costly surprises have mostly been pulled out of the ground and replaced before you arrived.

The 4 acres has a creek on it. That alone changes the feel of a piece of land. There's something to look at, something to walk to, water that moves. It's not a lot of acreage but it's enough to have space around you.

Castle Rock Lake and the Wisconsin River are close. The agent copy mentions boating, fishing, hiking, and hunting, and Sandy Shores Tubing and a bar called The Way Station Saloon. Whether that matters to you depends on why you'd buy in this part of Wisconsin, but if outdoor recreation is the pull, the location makes sense.

At $125,000 for 1,434 square feet with 4 acres and a creek, and with the mechanicals and roof already updated, the price reflects that the interior is unfinished. You're buying a project. The trade is clear: lower price, your labor. What you end up with depends entirely on how you finish it, which is either an upside or a burden depending on how you feel about that kind of thing.
