Description
Escape to one of Southwest Wisconsin’s most coveted woodland retreats!
Located in the rolling hills of Vernon County just outside of Hillsboro, this
stunning 40-acre property offers absolute privacy, total seclusion, and a
lifestyle immersed in natural beauty. Whether you’re seeking a full-time
residence, luxurious hunting cabin, or a peaceful vacation getaway, this
enchanting cabin in the woods delivers the ultimate in comfort, tranquility,
and outdoor adventure.
Tucked nearly a half-mile off the main road, a gently sloping gravel
driveway winds through the trees and leads to a magnificent blufftop setting at
1,220 feet in elevation. As you arrive, you’re greeted by a meticulously
landscaped entry, where vibrant flowers, manicured shrubs, and ornamental
plantings create a serene oasis in the forest.
The centerpiece of this property is a custom-built 1,880 square-foot
cabin-style home that combines rustic charm with modern comfort. This
thoughtfully designed 1-bed, 1.5-bath residence features an additional loft for
guest accommodations. Timber beams, rich wood accents, and cozy textures give
the home a warm, lodge-like feel, while contemporary amenities ensure
year-round livability. The oversized primary suite includes a large walk-in
closet and direct access to a three-seasons room—perfect for enjoying coffee
with sunrise views or afternoon reading in a bug-free haven.
The upper-level living room and kitchen open to a 9×31-foot screened-in
porch overlooking the wooded ridgetop, offering a front-row seat to the natural
world. Watch deer, turkeys, and songbirds as they pass through the property. In
cooler months, enjoy the radiant warmth of the free-standing fireplace; during
summer, a wall-mounted A/C system keeps the interior cool and comfortable. A
spacious 25×27-foot attached garage connects to a cozy rec room on the main
floor, providing ample space for lounging, hobbies, or gear storage.
For animal lovers or those with business ambitions, the property once
operated as a successful dog kennel. A 32×40-foot pole building with a
dedicated climate-controlled kennel space with heat, A/C, electric, water, and
a walk-out fenced area. It even has a built-in dog wash station. An additional
12×16-foot kennel near the house provides extra boarding capability—ideal for
pet lovers, breeders, or trainers.
The land itself is a private recreational paradise. Set atop a heavily
wooded ridge with three distinct knobs and a deep central valley, this tract
offers ideal top-access hunting with a developed trail network and
strategically placed elevated blinds. Mature oak, hickory, and maple dominate
the landscape, which is enrolled in MFL-Closed for reduced taxes, with a
scheduled timber harvest in 2028. The area is renowned for trophy-class
whitetails, with Boone & Crockett caliber bucks regularly taken in the neighborhood.
With current taxes at $3,619 annually, this property offers both enjoyment
and value. Rarely do properties of this caliber become available—especially
those that blend turnkey living, supreme privacy, and significant recreational
potential. This is more than just a cabin in the woods—it’s a lifestyle, a
sanctuary, and a legacy to be passed down.
