Northwest Real
Estate has 2 to 10 acre parcels for sale, five miles south of Oshkosh, in the
Town of Black Wolf. The parcels available have been strategically selected from
their 800 acre nature preserve and dairy farm, to preserve the natural beauty of
the land and to dedicate large open areas to wildlife.
Over the past 75
years Northwest Real Estate has developed ponds, hedgerows, woods, and trails
that enhance this property. Their master plan calls for as much harmony with
the environment as is economically feasible. It is also their intent that the
purchasers of property at Northwest Real Estate may share and enjoy some of
these enhancements.
A quiet country
location, perfect for lovers of nature and the outdoors, Northwest Real Estate
is ideally located near Lake Winnebago with access to state snowmobile trails
and over 5 miles of private walking and horseback riding trails. On the
practical side, it is only 15 minutes from either Oshkosh or Fond du Lac,
utilizing the Oshkosh school system.
The parcels at
Northwest Real Estate will be dedicated for use as single family, residential
home sites, and will feature homes in harmony with the rural setting,
emphasizing the natural beauty of the area, but fostering individuality for each
home site and owner.
Listed below are
covenants to promote the success of this vision. These controls and
restrictions are ongoing and included on each deed.
Article I - Architectural
Control
There is an
architectural review committee (ARC). The members of this committee are Bob and
Janet Dahl. Its sole purpose is to ensure Northwest Real Estate property owners
of the continued integrity of their property and surroundings. A minimum of 30
days prior to commencement of construction of any dwelling on any lot, one copy
of the plans, specifications, and plot plan showing the proposed location of the
buildings shall be submitted to the ARC. The approval or disapproval shall be a
document in writing, which will be recorded.

be setback a minimum of 350 feet (minimum) from the front of the

size of this building may be 2400 square feet, but may not exceed the area of
the ground floor level of the house. The accessory building may have a maximum

This accessory
building exterior shall blend into the overall building and landscape plan, and

Section 7

Fences or screens
should be used to hide air conditioning equipment, utility and garbage areas,

elements, the fence shall enhance, rather than detract from, the overall
appearance of the property.
Section 10
- Water Areas
Gas or electric powered boat motors
will not be allowed on ponds or creeks.
Section 11
- Signage
The general
contractor may erect a sign while construction is active. This sign shall not

including a mobile home, shall be moved onto said property at anytime.

smaller lots.
Section 17
- Deviations From Covenants and Restrictions
The ARC shall have the power to enter
into agreements with the owner of any lot, without the consent of the owner of
any other adjoining or adjacent properties of Northwest Real Estate, to deviate
from the provisions of the covenant restrictions within the jurisdiction of the
ARC. Any such agreement would be for reasons of practical difficulty or
particular hardship which otherwise may be suffered by such owner not of their
own makings. Any such deviation, which shall begin by written agreement, shall
not constitute a waiver of any such covenant as to other lots in the properties.
Section 18
- Enforceability
These protective
covenants are made for the benefit of any and all persons who now own said real
property at Northwest Real Estate, or who may hereinafter-own portions thereof,
and such persons, including all owners, are specifically given the right to
enforce these covenants by injunction or other lawful procedures, or to recover
any damages resulting from the violation of these covenants.
These covenants will be included and
registered on all deeds.
