Exterior, Land & Outbuildings

The 4.72-acre property provides substantially more land than a typical in-town residential lot. Existing outbuildings are in place, while the fenced yard and dog run provide established outdoor areas. A detached two-car garage offers dedicated parking, and the additional outbuilding provides further space for storage, equipment, or other property uses.

The property is not waterfront. Its rural residential setting and acreage provide room for outdoor projects and animal-related uses, consistent with the existing farmette setup.

Rhinelander is a Northwoods community and the county seat, with a regional mix of schools, healthcare, retail, restaurants, government services, outdoor recreation, lakes, trails, and transportation connections.

Safety & Crime

City-level crime information provides broader community context and should not be interpreted as a measurement of conditions at the property itself. For 2024, reported Rhinelander data included 8 violent-crime offenses and 140 property-crime offenses, including 6 burglaries, 129 thefts, and 5 motor-vehicle thefts. The reported figures are city-level statistics for the 2024 calendar year.

The Wisconsin Department of Justice maintains Uniform Crime Reporting dashboards with offense and arrest information by law-enforcement agency for recent years. Buyers evaluating a property should review the latest official agency-level data for the most current context.

Schools & Education

The property is in the Rhinelander area, where the public-school system includes Central Elementary, Crescent Elementary, Northwoods Community Elementary, Pelican Elementary, James Williams Middle School, and Rhinelander High School. Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction records identify these schools within the 2024-25 Rhinelander district reporting structure.

Nearby-school information should be considered separately from official enrollment assignment. Buyers should confirm the current attendance boundary for the property directly with the school district before making enrollment decisions.

The Oneida County Aging and Disability Resource Center lists Saint Mary’s Hospital at 2251 N Shore Drive and Aspirus Clinic at 1630 N Chippewa Drive, along with additional medical providers in the area.

Healthcare availability and services can change, so buyers should confirm current hours, departments, insurance participation, and emergency-care arrangements directly with each provider.

Housing Market History

For a consistent historical comparison, the following figures use the same metric and geography: median value of owner-occupied housing units in ZIP code 54501 from U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 5-year estimates. These figures describe the ZIP-code housing stock rather than the value of this individual property and are historical rather than predictive.

At the area level, Spectrum advertises internet service in Rhinelander with plans reaching up to 1 Gig. Internet providers do not serve every address identically, so buyers should confirm current service availability and connection options for the specific property address.
