Description

Newmark is pleased to offer for sale the former Northland College campus in Ashland, Wisconsin. Founded in 1892, this private liberal arts institution earned national recognition for its commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability until its closure in 2025. Set amid mature woodlands and the scenic shores of Lake Superior’s Chequamegon Bay, the campus represents a rare opportunity for institutional users and visionary investors alike. The property includes well-maintained, versatile facilities: a state-of-the-art science building, a state-of-the-art stadium, the region’s newest and largest athletic and fitness center, multiple residence halls, a food production and food bank facility, a student center with full commercial kitchen, and an award-winning environmental retreat center integrated into the forested landscape. Expansive green spaces, fire pits, and a community garden further enhance the campus’s natural appeal. Situated within the ancestral Ojibwe homelands, the property is surrounded by sizeable tribal populations whose culture and relationships remain foundational to the area’s community and economic landscape. Campus infrastructure and natural resources offer unmatched versatility, suitable for charter and religious schools, satellite college campuses, retreats, camps, research centers, and more. This is a rare opportunity to own and repurpose a landmark property with a legacy of education, sustainability, and community.
