About 2 times a year, my family visits the Minocqua or Eagle River areas and my family really enjoys it. For years, my wife and I have discussed how great it would be to have a place of our own some day up there. We currently live in the Madison area, so a place about 3 hours north-ish would be great for us. We have two kids 7 and 9 and think the best route is to buy a piece or land on a lake and wait until we're ready to build something on it. We probably aren't ready to have a place quite yet, but I'm intrigued by the opportunity to have a piece of land that we can plan to do something with someday; (or maybe even find uses of before I build on it).
Anyone have any experiences with searching for the best piece of land? I'm finding that Zillow is a great starting place. However, I'm not even sure what I'm looking for quite yet. I thought about narrowing down to various locations, then setting a requirement on the size of the lake/lot, price range, etc; then finding some agents to send me some information. (I assume they know more than Zillow).
Any better ways to go about this?
