FTL#8 - Oversized 3-Acre Country Homesite Across from Fishtrap Lake (Winter, WI)

If you’ve been dreaming about trading city noise for quiet woods, lake air, and room to breathe, this 3-acre parcel in the Town of Winter is the kind of “oversized home lot” that’s getting harder to find. The land features gently rolling terrain and a beautiful mixed forest—fir blended with poplar (including white poplar), maple, oak, and birch—creating privacy, scenery, and that classic Northwoods feel.

The standout feature is the location: the property sits directly across the street from Fishtrap Lake, and you’re only moments from the public boat landing. Fishtrap Lake is a 263-acre lake with a public landing and a reputation for multi-species fishing—musky, walleye, northern pike, largemouth bass, and panfish. That means morning boat rides, evening casts, and quick “let’s go to the lake” spontaneity—without having to trailer across the county.

Recreation in and around Winter:

Winter is a true four-season basecamp, with easy access to big-woods recreation. The Flambeau River State Forest is headquartered right in Winter and stretches along roughly 75 miles of the North and South Forks of the Flambeau River—popular for paddling, fishing, hunting, hiking, and getting deep into the quiet. In winter, you’ll also find extensive groomed riding opportunities: the forest has miles of snowmobile trail connections that tie into the regional trail network, including access to the Tuscobia State Trail.

And when you want even more water to explore, the Chippewa Flowage is a major regional draw—known for its sprawling “maze” of islands, bays, channels, and a uniquely wild, exploratory feel on the water.

Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest access:

Beyond the local lakes and state forest lands, you’re in the heart of northern Wisconsin’s public-land country, with the Chequamegon–Nicolet National Forest offering more than 1.5 million acres of woods and water for hiking, hunting, camping, and year-round motorized trail riding.

If you want a true country homesite with elbow room, a scenic mix of timber, and immediate access to lake living and Northwoods recreation, this 3-acre Winter parcel checks the boxes. Reach out to get details and set up a time to walk the land.
