What makes Hidden Ponds stand out is the lot size—at just over an acre per home on average, you get genuine space without feeling like you're an hour from anything. Spread across sixty-six acres, the community gives you room to breathe while staying connected to the region. Brown Lake sits about a mile away, and if you're into water access, the boat launch at Wabasis Lake Park is roughly two miles down the road. Wabasis County Park, just over two miles away, rounds out the outdoor picture without dominating the everyday landscape.

Estimates use a 6.49% 30-year fixed rate (current Freddie Mac average), an aggressive ~45% housing-to-income ratio (roughly what FHA underwriting can allow for a buyer with no other monthly debts — your number depends on your debts and credit), this area's median sale price, plus estimated insurance and PMI below 20% down. Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
