Washburn, Wisconsin Real Estate Sales: September 2025

Washburn, Wisconsin Real Estate Sales: September 2025

In Washburn, only three single family homes closed in September. And at an average price of approximately $217,000, which is far below the year’s average of $280,000. 

In town, two homes sold: 219 N 8th Ave W and 845 W Bigelow St. Both sold for less than the sellers’ initial asking price. 

219 N 8th St, a manufactured three bed, two bed home on nearly 1/3 of an acre lot, was on the market for 268 days before selling for $159,000. 

On Bigelow St., a three bed, two bath house with a two car garage sold in six days for $220,000, a little less than the sellers’ initial asking price of $225,000. The exterior belies the quaint, modest interior. While the home’s interior could benefit from some new fixtures and such, it’s got great wood floors and classic kitchen cabinets to work with. At its price point, and given its location, it’s a great home for a family to grow in. 

Outside of town, a modest two bed, 1 bath home sitting on 40 acres on Paulson Rd sold in 14 days for $272,500, a little more than the sellers were asking, $269,900. This is a great price. The home does need some attention, but with as much land as you’re getting along with a heated garage, there’s a lot to like about this property. 

No land in the area sold last month. Nothing commercial either. 

South Shore Real Estate Sales

What sold in September in Port Wing, Herbster, and Cornucopia?

Just a few sales on the South Shore last month. 

Out on Siskiwit Lake, a super cool cabin with a unique setup sold for $290,000. The cabin itself had no bathroom. but a separate bathhouse with shower and toilet. Cabins on this lake don’t come up for sale often. Great space for the new owners!

In Port Wing, two properties sold. East of town, just off 13, a beautiful home on a skinny 3 1/2 acres with 150 ft of Lake Superior frontage, sold for $650,000. The home’s replete with custom details and local material; the shoreline as well’s been bolstered to preserve its integrity over time. 

In the other direction, between Port Wing and Webster, a nearly twenty acre estate with 960 feet of Lake Superior frontage sold for more than any other single family home on the South Shore this year. The four bed, four bath home was built in 1996, and it shows in some of its interior elements but is otherwise balanced with massive walls of windows, in-floor heating, and a bevy of other features. Initially on the market for $994,000, this home sold in 133 days for $795,000. For cash. 

Landwise, a 40 acre parcel on Nicoletti Rd in Herbster sold for $118,000: $2,950 an acre. 

Quick update on Cornucopia, Herbster, and Port Wing real estate sales for September 2025.

SOUTH SHORE, WISCONSIN REAL ESTATE SALES: AUGUST 2025

From Port Wing to Corny, seven single family homes sold last month. They ranged in price from $80,000 to $615,000 and averaged a sale price of loosely $359,000.

Port Wing’s only sale, a log home on 22 acres on Quarry Point Rd, a parcel with 665 ft of Lake Superior frontage, sold fast—8 days—for cash, and $16,000 above the seller’s asking price. Lake Superior frontage is always going to influence a property’s price, but couple that with the location and privacy of this particular parcel, and it’s clear why this was as coveted a property as it was. 

Up the road in Herbster, three family homes sold. Each of them sold below list price. On Lenawee Road just south of town, a fixer-upper on 20 acres sold in three days. Most notable is the price on this property. It sold for $80,000, a price 47% below the asking price of $149,900. It sold in only three day. On Cranberry River Rd, a sweet little cabin with a separate bunkhouse on 2 acres, a parcel with 414 ft of Cranberry River frontage, sold in 41 days for $400,000. Also on the water, this time 326 ft of Lake Superior frontage, a parcel halfway up Bark Point with a two bed, one bath cabin replete with wood paneling, sold for $458,500, down a bit from the initial asking price of $529,900. This one was on the market for quite a while, 288 days.

Finally, in Corny, a two bedroom cabin with no running water but ten acres off Stage Rd, a very cool part of the county, sold in 4 days for $127,500. In the Sawgrass development, a sleek, modern three bed, two bath home on a 1.7 acre lot sold for $475,000. This home was initially listed for $549,000 but needed some time on the market—683 days overall—to find itself a buyer. Big month for Sawgrass, though; two lots sold as well. 

Otherwise, ten acres off County C sold for $50,000; an acre on Romans Point Rd sold for $199,900. In Herbster, two 40 acre parcels sold; each sold for roughly $2,000/acre. In Port Wing, a skinny six acre lot sold for $19,490. It was on the market for 407 days, which makes sense; it’s an oddly shaped parcel.
