76-Acre Driftless Area Farm & Country Estate La Crosse County, Wi

Set just east of Barre Mills in Wisconsin’s scenic Driftless
Area, this 76-acre farm brings
together productive cropland, rotational pasture, wooded wildlife habitat,
creek frontage, historic farm improvements, and a spacious year-round
farmhouse.

Approximately 50
acres of tillable ground are currently planted in a corn-and-bean rotation
with some alfalfa. An additional 23.5
acres of grazing land are divided into four rotational pastures, creating a
practical setup for livestock and land management.

Russlan Coulee Creek runs for an estimated 1,700 feet through the pasture,
providing a natural water source for livestock and enhancing the property’s
appeal for wildlife. The wooded hilltop offers established habitat for
whitetail deer and wild turkey.

The original two-story farmhouse was built in 1920 and, according to the MLS remarks,
was stripped to the studs and extensively rebuilt approximately 20 years ago.
The home now offers 3,646 finished
square feet, five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, one half bathroom, and a
heated three-car attached garage.

The residence includes approximately 2,995 finished square feet above grade and 651 finished square feet below grade, plus an estimated 685 square
feet of unfinished lower-level space. The full stone basement has ceilings
exceeding eight feet, finished living space, a bathroom rough-in, and direct
access from the garage.

The main level features a 15′ x 13′ primary bedroom with an ensuite bath that includes a
walk-in shower and separate tub. Main-floor laundry, a full bath, a half bath,
a level driveway approach, and a stall shower add everyday convenience and
accessibility.

Living spaces include a 16′
x 12′ living room, a 17′ x 10′
kitchen, a 14′ x 10′ main-level
family room, a 12′ x 12′ dining room,
and a spacious 27′ x 25′ lower-level
family room. Four additional bedrooms and a den are located upstairs.

Interior amenities include wood floors, walk-in closets, a
pantry, split-bedroom design, an expandable attic, cable availability, and
high-speed internet. Outdoor living areas include both a patio and a deck.

Mechanical systems include forced-air heating with oil and
wood fuel, central air conditioning, and zoned heating. The property is served
by a private well, a private mound septic system, and an owned water softener.

Farm improvements include a historic dairy barn and silos,
additional barn space, a pole building, box stalls, and a metal/steel building.
The MLS remarks note that the Niemeier family settled the farm more than 100
years ago, and the surviving dairy barn and silos remain a visible link to that
history. The heated three-car attached garage features an electric door opener
and basement access, providing valuable space for vehicles, equipment, and farm
operations.

This is a versatile La Crosse
County property with agricultural, livestock, residential, hunting, and
recreational appeal, all within the West Salem School District.
