57+/- Acre Retreat in Wisconsin’s Driftless Area, Crawford County

Set atop a wooded ridge in the heart of Wisconsin’s Driftless Area, this 57± acre country and hunting retreat offers that “just right” balance of privacy, recreation, and comfort. Here, hardwoods blaze with color in October, the Kickapoo River winds the west side of the property, and the pace of life slows to match the surroundings. If you’ve been looking for a manageable-sized tract with big character—somewhere to slip away for the weekend, run a few hobbies, or new basecamp for hunting season—this property checks all the boxes in true rural lifestyle fashion.

The acreage is wrapped in mature, mixed hardwood timber, thoughtfully managed and full of recreational potential. Ridges, benches, and cover create natural travel corridors for whitetails and other wildlife, making this a smart option for serious hunters as well as those who just enjoy watching the woods come alive with each season. With nearby Kickapoo River access in one of Wisconsin’s most admired outdoor regions, you’re within easy reach of fishing, paddling, and classic Driftless exploring.

Tucked on the ridgetop, an 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage gives you a warm, comfortable base camp. Fiber-optic internet means you can answer emails in the morning and be in the stand or on the trail that afternoon—no compromise between connection and seclusion. With a new drilled well and septic system in place, this cozy cabin easily transitions from weekend escape to full-time country home for the buyer ready to trade traffic for tree lines.

For equipment, toys, and tools, you’ll appreciate the 24’×48′ pole barn with concrete floor & 10’×48′ lean-to, along with multiple other outbuildings offering additional covered storage. The property also includes 16+/-ac open acreage currently planted in row crops, bringing both income potential and flexibility. Think food plots, small-scale farming, or simply letting the fields frame your sunsets—however you choose to use the land, the infrastructure is already working in your favor.

Smaller parcels with this kind of character, improvements, and recreational upside are getting harder to find in the Driftless. This 57± acre offering delivers a ready-made country setup: timber, fields, a comfortable cottage, and that ridge-top feeling you can’t quite put into words until you stand there yourself. Looking for more acreage? There is a total of $109+/- acres available for purchase here!
