Description
Three residences on 68 acres of diverse ecosystems, were
built to provide a natural setting for personal retreat, in an environment of
silence & simplicity. Just outside of Norwalk, WI you will find this retreat designed
for those seeking harmony, healing, and connection with the land. This
one-of-a-kind property features three eco-conscious residences, two charming
hermitages, established horse facilities, and a flowing valley with native
prairies, wetlands, and woodlands teeming with biodiversity. Solar-powered and
geothermally heated, this property is as sustainable as it is serene—an ideal
setting for retreat operators, naturalists, horse lovers, or investors in
private nature-based properties.
The thoughtfully designed residences blend rustic elegance with
modern comfort. Each is built with sustainable materials, radiant in-floor
heating, vaulted wood ceilings, and Amish-crafted finishes. The main home
includes a wraparound porch with sweeping views of the expansive valleys of the
Driftless Area, while the secondary home offers flexible guest or rental
options tucked away in privacy. A caretaker’s cabin and two hermitages offer
additional private quarters—perfect for family, guests, retreat staff, or
personal solitude in the outdoors.
Meandering trails, spring-fed streams, and decades of careful
restoration make this land a true haven. Whether you’re a retreat facilitator,
healer, or land steward, this sanctuary invites you to continue its legacy of
care and connection.
A Living Landscape Rooted in Restoration
This property is more than a place—it’s a living, breathing
ecosystem. Protected by hills on all sides and oriented east to west for ideal
sunlight, the valley nurtures a harmonious blend of wetland, woodland, and
prairie. A meandering stream fed by multiple springs flows year-round through
the heart of the land, supporting frogs, turtles, songbirds, and a lush matrix
of plant life.
Native Flora
South-facing slopes bloom with native prairie grasses and
wildflowers—from butterfly weed and black-eyed susans to mountain mint and
rattlesnake master. On the cooler north-facing slopes, you’ll find basswood and
maple groves, carpeted with ferns, mosses, and spring ephemerals like trout
lilies and mayapples. Restoration efforts have returned dozens of species of
native plants to the land, and new stewards are encouraged to continue this
work.
Diverse Wildlife
Wildlife abounds here: eagles soar overhead, deer roam the
meadows, owls call through the night, and foxes leave silent tracks along the
stream. With over 50 species of birds—including turkeys, meadowlarks, orioles, cardinals,
cedar waxwings, hawks, and herons—the valley is a haven for birdwatchers and
nature lovers alike. Occasional sightings of a bobcat or an elk remind us this
is truly wild, native land.
Land Stewardship
Under the careful guidance of a knowledgeable restoration manager,
the land has been a model for ecological caretaking. Mowed trails and quiet
sitting areas invite reflection, while apple trees and edible landscapes offer
nourishment. Whether you’re walking the path of a healer, teacher, or land
steward, this tranquil valley will meet you with open arms.
