Aldo Leopold wrote, ” There are some who can live without wild things, and some who cannot.” It’s time, it’s your turn! Join the community of us that are already living the lifestyle of a: conservationist, naturalist, hunter/gatherer, wildlife manager, forester, prairie enthusiast, and/or farmer. There is no better place to start your new journey, than here. Simply put, it is a diamond in the rough! It has a spectacular building site, several actually. The slate is ready for your new home or cabin. You can choose a homesite that overlooks your expanse of prairie & a retention pond, with a view that looks down into the valley below consisting of agriculture fields and woodlands. Morning sunrises from this spot are amazing. For a much more private location, you could build up the hill from here within the forest. If sunsets are where you find your peace, you can build at the back of the property overlooking a prairie that is surrounded by woods. The terrain of this property is typical of the Driftless Area of the Coulee Country: flat, to rolling, to steep hill sides. This property really lays out well, from the driveway off the county road to the back of the property is almost ¾ of a mile. It consists of 39 acres of woods, 5 acres of croplands/prairie/food plots, and 8 acres of open land that is ready for you to shape into anything you like. The woods consist of: valleys, ridgetops, draws, and a variety of trees typical of a northern forest: red, white & black oak, sugar & red maple, shagbark hickory, cherry, elm, apple, white & yellow birch, and more. In another 10 years or so it may be ready for a timber harvest. The prairie are in need of some Bluebird houses and Kestrel houses. A few bat houses on the edge of the woods will help keep the misquotes to a minimum. If you are looking for a hunting parcel, you won’t be disappointed with this property. This area of the state is noted for its plentiful turkey and deer populations, plenty of squirrels and a few rabbits too. This is an excellent deer hunting parcel with heavily used deer trails. Quality Deer Management has been practiced on this parcel and many of the neighboring parcels as well. There are multiple stand locations for you and your family and friends.

This parcel is secluded, yet close enough to the Thriving Communities of Norwalk, Wilton, Tomah, Sparta, Cashton and Viroqua. A Thriving Community is, “… one that fosters a sense of belonging, that feels alive, engaged, welcoming, and resilient. Where people creatively approach problems that arise and work together to navigate change. It’s one you’re glad to come home to. It’s one you love.” It is only 20 minutes from Sparta, 30 minutes from Tomah, 40 minutes from La Crosse, 2 hours from Madison, 3.25 hours from Milwaukee and 3 hours to Minneapolis.
