<h1>1,167-Acre Timber & Hunting Land for Sale in Douglas County, WI</h1>
Highland Tracks Real Estate Listing: Premier 1167-Acre Timber and Recreational Property.
<p data-start="61" data-end="428">Own the Highland Tracks: 1,167 acres split into two diverse ~600-acre tracts that combine timber income, recreation, and wildlife habitat. Set between major timber markets in Hayward and Cloquet, this timberland property offers all-weather access, varied forest cover, and a maintained road network—making it easy to manage for hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, and timber investors.</p>

<h2 data-start="800" data-end="836">Timber Resource & Market Position</h2>
<p data-start="838" data-end="1319">Leverage a balanced timber base. Each tract carries a mix of aspen and oak—about 600 acres of each cover type across the combined holding. You can harvest 10–15% of the aspen now and expect ~20% to mature over the next decade. Oak stands interspersed with aspen improve habitat diversity and long-term value. Proximity to mills, short haul distances, and sandy, all-weather ground let you schedule harvests efficiently and profitably—especially for aspen and hardwood logs.</p>
