Country Estate in Sw Wisconsin on 100 Acres W/ Trout Stream

Description

100 Acres of Driftless Splendor|
A Rare Blend of Nature, History & Heart

For the past 24 years,
this breathtaking 100-acre property has been a true labor of love—carefully
cultivated, thoughtfully restored, and deeply cherished. Now, it’s ready to
welcome its next steward. Tucked into the rolling hills and valleys of the
Driftless Area in Southwest Wisconsin, this land offers a rare blend of natural
beauty and functional serenity. From ridgetop views to valley seclusion, the
landscape boasts a ¼-mile of Class II trout stream (Nederlo Creek), a private
pond, exposed rock outcroppings, abundant wildlife, woods, open pasture, a
freshwater spring, and meticulously crafted stone walls and terraces.

At the heart of the
property stands a classic 1921 American Foursquare house. The home
balances historic charm with modern updates. Spacious rooms, high ceilings, and
original wood flooring reflect its heritage, while thoughtful updates in parts
of the home—Anderson 400-series windows, insulation, sheetrock, reclaimed and
custom millwork add comfort and efficiency. The main level features a remodeled
kitchen with solid maple flooring, Thomasville cabinets, and an island. The
newer stainless appliances were added in 2023. A cozy study captures morning
light, and a four-season porch provides panoramic views of the valley and
wooded hillsides.

The home offers 4–5
bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, including a main-floor primary suite with private
half-bath. One upper-level bedroom is plumbed for an additional bathroom. A
unique studio/workshop, once a garage, serves as a haven for creatives or
hobbyists.

Significant investments
have been made in infrastructure: a new well and septic system (2019), a new
water heater and portion of the rubber roof (2023), and extensive rewiring
throughout much of the home.

Outdoor enthusiasts will
find a true sanctuary here. Hike or UTV the wide, groomed trail up the ridge.
Hunt, tap sugar maples, forage for morels, or fish for brook and brown trout.
The 75 acres of woods and 25 acres of open land offer endless possibilities—gardening,
farming, pasturing, or simply enjoying the view.

The property includes
multiple outbuildings with updated electrical: a 21-stanchion dairy barn with a
water hydrant and haymow, a machine shed with 60-amp service, a second shed
with updated electrical service that’s outfitted for storage and garden tools,
and a charming stone-walled cottage once used as temporary lodging during the home’s
original construction. The cottage features updated electrical, skylights,
a rebuilt loft, and could be enhanced further with added windows for
expanded views.

Dry-stone terraces and
garden walls—built lovingly by the current owners—accent the landscape and
provide privacy and structure. A hydrant on the west terrace supports outdoor
gardening or gatherings. Located on a quiet road that’s also a school bus route,
the property benefits from prompt snow removal by the town of Utica.

This is more than just a
home—it’s an invitation to a lifestyle rooted in nature, history, and
intention. Come walk the trails, listen to the creek, and experience the quiet
magic of this extraordinary Driftless retreat. It truly needs to be seen to be
fully appreciated.All showings will begin on June 11, 2025 at 1:00 P.M.
