Overview
The quiet streets, friendly residents and beautiful natural environs of Bayfield, Wisconsin, prompted a Chicago Tribune travel writer to dub this small Lake Superior waterfront community “the Best Little Town in the Midwest.”
At Orchard Hill, an exciting new vacation home development about a mile south of Bayfield, buyers can choose from a selection of 55 spacious lots at a prime hillside location featuring expansive views of the Lake Superior shoreline, Chequamegon Bay and the Apostle Islands. The 80-acre property is perched 500 feet above the lakeshore among apple orchards and berry farms, in a region known for its laid-back atmosphere and unpretentious lifestyle.
Residents will enjoy easy access to fishing, boating, golf and winter sports, and to the nearby Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, an extraordinary recreational paradise encompassing 12 miles of mainland shoreline, 21 offshore islands, dozens of pristine beaches and a remarkable collection of historic Lake Superior lighthouses.
With no stoplights in the entire county and the nearest Wal-Mart and McDonald’s more than 20 miles away, there’s no better place to reconnect with the essential joys of peaceful lakeside living.
AMENITIES
Outdoor Activities In addition to the extraordinary opportunities for aquatic recreation, Orchard Hill residents will be close to secluded campgrounds and nature areas and miles of great hiking, mountain biking, and ATV trails. The Bayfield area also is home to Big Top at Chatauqua, a nonprofit performing arts organization that presents an impressive line-up of concerts plus a weekly live radio show in a 900-seat tented theater.
Golf Orchard Hill is almost within shouting distance of the lovely Apostle Highlands Golf Course, a 6,332-yard 18-hole championship course spread over 265 wooded acres, with enormous greens and panoramic views of Chequamegon Bay and the Apostle Islands. A short ferry ride leads to the Madeline Island Golf Club, featuring a unique 18-hole design by Robert Trent Jones.
Water/ Marina/ Boating Boating enthusiasts will find no end of possibilities in and around Chequamegon Bay, from exploring remote sea caves and beaches by canoe or kayak to exhilarating sailing or motorboat excursions. Boat charters and marina services are as close as at the Bayfield waterfront.
Fishing The clear waters of Chequamegon Bay and the Apostle Islands offer ideal conditions for lake trout, salmon, walleye, northern pike and other game fish, with guide services and boat charters available in Bayfield and other nearby communities. Additional fishing opportunities can be found on the region’s abundant streams and inland lakes, notably in the vast Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest.
Equestrian Trail riding is a terrific way to explore parts of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore and the nearby Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, with guide services and equestrian outfitters available at both locations.
