Property Description
Welcome to an exceptional 95.02-acre recreational estate tucked into the
breathtaking Ocooch Mountain region of Richland County, Wisconsin. Here, amid
towering hardwood ridges, secluded valleys, picturesque rock outcroppings and
the peaceful sounds of flowing water, you’ll discover a meticulously maintained
countryside sanctuary that embodies everything extraordinary about owning land
in Wisconsin’s Driftless Area.
A Whitetail Hunter’s Masterpiece in Wisconsin’s Ocooch Mountains
Some properties are purchased for the hunting. Others are purchased for the
memories. Every so often, a property comes along that offers the extraordinary
opportunity to have both.
Imagine waking on a crisp November morning inside your log cabin, the warmth
of a crackling wood stove filling the room as you sip your first cup of coffee.
Beyond the windows, a beautiful pond reflects the surrounding hillsides while
the hardwood timber comes alive with the anticipation of another unforgettable
day in the whitetail woods.
This is the kind of place serious hunters dream about. A property where
years of thoughtful land stewardship, wildlife habitat improvements,
agricultural production and recreational infrastructure have come together to
create something truly remarkable.
Whether you’re searching for a premier trophy whitetail hunting retreat, a
private family getaway or a legacy recreational estate to enjoy for
generations, this Richland County masterpiece deserves your attention.
A Charming Amish-Built Cabin Overlooking a
Picturesque Pond
Nestled alongside a
tranquil countryside pond, you’ll find a delightful Amish-built cabin that
perfectly complements the property’s natural surroundings.
Constructed in 2007, this
rustic retreat offers approximately 1,008 square feet of living area, including
a loft, and exudes the timeless character of an authentic Wisconsin woodland
getaway. Its welcoming covered porch provides an idyllic setting to unwind
after a long day in the timber, listen to the evening chorus of wildlife and
admire the peaceful reflection of the surrounding landscape across the water.
Inside, a freestanding Hearthstone wood-burning stove creates an inviting
atmosphere during Wisconsin’s cooler months. There’s something special about
returning from an early-season bow hunt or a frosty November morning and
settling into the warmth of a wood fire while recounting the day’s adventures.
The property has also received meaningful infrastructure improvements.
Electrical service was installed in 2016, along with a 6-inch drilled well and
a 2,000-gallon holding tank. A fiber-optic line has recently been extended to
the cabin’s exterior, providing an opportunity for future high-speed internet
connectivity upon activation.
The cabin offers an appealing balance of rustic simplicity and modern
convenience, making it equally suited for weekend hunting excursions, extended
recreational stays or quiet escapes from the demands of everyday life.
And the setting? It’s the kind of picturesque Wisconsin scenery that simply
never gets old.
95.02 Acres of Meticulously Managed
Whitetail Habitat
For the dedicated
whitetail enthusiast, the land itself is where this property truly separates
itself from the ordinary. Spanning 95.02 acres, this remarkable tract showcases
a diverse landscape of productive agricultural fields, mature hardwood timber,
brushy wildlife cover, secluded food plot openings, natural travel corridors
and dramatic elevation changes.
The topography is especially compelling.
The property transitions from the lower valley elevations near County
Highway DD into an impressive series of wooded ridges and steep sidehills that
climb beyond 1,100 feet. Throughout the timber, ridge points, benches, draws
and natural terrain transitions create the kind of geographic diversity that
experienced whitetail hunters recognize as valuable habitat.
These features provide opportunities to study deer movement, identify
potential rut travel routes and establish hunting strategies around changing
winds, seasonal food sources and natural funnels. An established network of
maintained trails winds throughout the property, connecting the agricultural
acreage to interior food plots, wooded hunting locations and elevated portions
of the ridge system.
Rather than starting from scratch, the next owner inherits a recreational
property where considerable effort has already been invested in access, habitat
improvement and hunting infrastructure. Multiple hunting blinds and treestand
locations further enhance the property’s appeal, offering established setups
throughout the landscape.
Picture sitting in a secluded interior food plot as the first light filters
through the hardwood canopy. Somewhere along a nearby ridge, a mature buck is
working the downwind edge of a bedding area, searching for the next receptive
doe. For a passionate whitetail hunter, it’s difficult to imagine a more
rewarding way to spend the season.
Productive Agricultural Land, Food Plots
& Extensive Wildlife Plantings
One of the property’s greatest advantages is its
exceptional combination of agricultural production and wildlife habitat.
Approximately 21 acres of
productive agricultural ground provide an important food source
within this heavily wooded Driftless landscape. Corn and alfalfa contribute to
the property’s agricultural character while offering attractive feeding
opportunities for deer and other wildlife.
Complementing the larger fields is a collection of smaller, strategically
located food plot openings situated throughout the interior of the property.
These secluded openings create additional opportunities to attract wildlife
deeper into the timber and establish hunting locations away from the primary
agricultural acreage.
The owner has also invested in an impressive assortment of tree and habitat
plantings designed to enhance the landscape over time.
Approximately 150 apple trees have been planted throughout the
property, creating a substantial network of potential soft-mast food sources.
In addition, roughly 200 oak trees and 200 white pine trees were established
as part of past Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) efforts.
Plantings of hybrid poplar and willow add further diversity to the
landscape, contributing to the property’s mixture of cover, vegetation and
wildlife habitat. The combination of agricultural food sources, apple trees,
oak plantings, evergreen cover, interior openings and natural timber provides
an outstanding foundation for continued habitat management.
For those passionate about Quality Deer Management, this property offers the
ingredients and infrastructure to build upon an already impressive recreational
landscape.
Spring-Fed Water, Rock Outcroppings &
Breathtaking Driftless Scenery
Beyond the hunting
opportunities, this property possesses an extraordinary natural character that
must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
A beautiful pond serves as the centerpiece of the cabin setting, creating an
unforgettable first impression as you approach the residence. The pond includes
a registered small dam and offers a peaceful waterside setting for enjoying the
surrounding countryside.
Elsewhere on the property, a spring-fed stream meanders through the
landscape, eventually flowing toward the nearby West Branch Pine River. The
gentle sound of running water, moss-covered stones, lush streamside vegetation
and secluded woodland surroundings contribute to the remarkable atmosphere of
this countryside retreat.
As you venture farther into the property, the landscape transforms into the
rugged terrain for which Wisconsin’s Ocooch Mountains are celebrated. Towering
hardwood-covered ridges rise above the valley floor, while picturesque rock
outcroppings and wooded slopes create a dramatic natural backdrop. The changing
seasons bring their own beauty, from vibrant spring greenery and summer
evenings beside the pond to the brilliant autumn colors that sweep across the
hillsides.
It’s the kind of property where simply taking a walk through the woods can
become the highlight of your day.
Exceptional Storage, Outbuildings &
Gated Access
A recreational property of this caliber deserves the
infrastructure to support it, and this estate delivers.
A gated entrance along County Highway DD welcomes you into the property,
providing a defined entry to the private retreat. The improvements include a
spacious 24
× 48-foot detached garage constructed in 2014, offering
substantial room for vehicles, tractors, UTVs, hunting equipment and
recreational gear.
Two additional pole buildings measuring approximately 24 × 32 feet and 36 × 56
feet provide even more versatile storage opportunities.
As part of previous maintenance efforts, the pole buildings were reinforced
approximately a decade ago with new treated 6 × 6-inch ground posts bolted and
secured to the original posts. For the outdoor enthusiast who appreciates
having dedicated space for equipment, implements and property-maintenance
essentials, these buildings add considerable functionality.
Together with the established trail network, the outbuildings make it easier
to maintain and enjoy a property of this size.
A Legacy
Property Worth Passing Down
There’s a meaningful difference between owning hunting land and owning
a property that has been thoughtfully cared for, improved and enjoyed over
time.
From the extensive tree plantings and maintained wildlife openings to the
agricultural fields, interior trails, hunting infrastructure and beautifully
situated log cabin, this property reflects years of dedication to the land.
It’s a place where opening morning becomes a family tradition. Where
children learn to appreciate wildlife, recognize deer sign and understand the
importance of responsible land stewardship. Where evenings are spent on the
cabin porch watching the sunlight disappear behind the ridges, and where the
stories made each hunting season become part of something much larger.
The property offers the rare combination of a charming recreational
residence, extensive storage improvements, agricultural production, diverse
wildlife habitat, flowing water and dramatic Driftless topography—all across a
substantial 95.02-acre setting.
Whether your passion is pursuing mature whitetails, managing habitat,
exploring the countryside or simply escaping to a quieter way of life, this
estate offers an exceptional canvas for creating memories that last a lifetime.
For those
who understand the value of remarkable hunting land, meticulous stewardship and
an authentic Wisconsin countryside retreat, opportunities like this are worth
pursuing.
