166483 COUNTY ROAD Z, Wausau, WI 54403

Welcome Home to Your Once-in-a-Lifetime Property—A True Blend of Luxury, Privacy, and Natural Beauty. Nestled among towering pines and embraced by the tranquil flow of the Big Sandy River, this remarkable rural executive ranch offers one of Mother Nature’s most pristine and private settings.

Set back nearly 200 yards from the road, this newer-built residence provides peace, security, and a rare opportunity for generational estate planning. Located on a wooded 40+ acre corner parcel in Marathon County, the property features the Big Sandy running through it—offering both accessibility and amenities ideal for future development.

With 2,790 feet of road frontage, WPS electric service along the roadside, and two grandfathered culverts for potential additional driveways, the land is ready for subdivision into two more executive home sites (subject to county verification). Whether you choose to develop or preserve it as your own private retreat, the possibilities are endless.

Enjoy over 30 acres of forest, 10+ acres of cropland perfect for food plots, and approximately 1,500 feet of sparkling river frontage. The property is a haven for hunting, trapping, and kayaking—especially during the Big Sandy’s whitewater periods. Built in 2002, this beautifully maintained open-concept ranch home features a split-bedroom layout with 3 bedrooms (one currently used as an office) and 2 full baths on the main level.

The master suite includes a corner whirlpool tub, while the central living area boasts a formal dining room, granite breakfast bar, and a great room with a Heat-N-Glo brick fireplace—all under soaring 14-foot cathedral ceilings with porcelain plank flooring.

The lower level offers a massive guest suite with a bedroom, full bath, and a 42' x 14' family/theater room complete with a dry bar and pantry. High-end finishes include solid oak six-panel doors throughout and a DSE security system with motion detectors, door contacts, and glass-break sensors.

Outdoor living is enhanced by two raised composite decks—one off the great room and one off the master bedroom—plus a lower-level patio surfaced in soft-scape tiles with electrical hookup for a future hot tub. The attached 26' x 24' garage is fully insulated and finished, complemented by a detached 32' x 24' garage/shop for additional storage or hobbies.

The home’s exterior is virtually maintenance-free, featuring an all-brick front elevation with quoin corners, four tapered columns on brick pedestals, and a covered front porch with a distinctive beveled glass entry door. Recent updates include new smoke and CO detectors (2026), a newer washer and dryer (2024), and replaced well and septic pumps. The area also benefits from a new cell tower and high-speed fiber optic internet service by Spectrum. Seller is a licensed real estate agent in the state of Wisconsin.
