Description

Imagine waking up to the soft murmur of the Mississippi River, the distant
call of waterfowl echoing across the backwaters, and the first light of dawn
shimmering off the current. Welcome to one of Southwest Wisconsin’s most
extraordinary hidden gems — a private 1.25
+/- acre riverfront estate nestled just south of Genoa. This
rare property embodies the spirit of adventure, solitude, and connection to
nature — a true sportsman’s retreat
unlike any other along the mighty Mississippi.

This is one of the very few privately owned parcels that directly abuts the backwaters of the
river, offering unmatched access to world-class hunting, fishing, and wildlife
viewing. The property shares its boundary with hundreds of acres of public land. The result is an
incredible, almost exclusive outdoor experience — the kind of place where
lifelong memories are made with family, friends, and fellow outdoorsmen.

As you arrive, you’ll cross the tracks and enter a secluded haven that
immediately transports you into nature’s embrace. The 1,250± square foot cottage, original
mobile home structure around 1972 with additions added over the year which has
been thoughtfully updated to combine rustic charm with modern comfort. Inside,
you’ll find three bedrooms and two
bathrooms, all on one level for effortless living. The spacious
kitchen welcomes you upon entry and flows seamlessly into an inviting living
area that opens to a 12×20-foot deck
overlooking the river. From this perch, panoramic views of the backwaters
stretch before you — a living canvas teeming with wildlife. It’s not uncommon
to watch bald eagles soar,
see flocks of ducks and geese
rise from the marsh, or spot whitetail
deer feeding along the shoreline.

Comforts include an owned 325-gal LP
tank, central
air, and Viasat
internet service. The home’s single-level layout and updated
interior make it equally suited as a personal
retreat or possibly an income-producing
vacation rental that would need to be explored through town and
county zoning. Every detail reflects both functionality and the timeless appeal
of a cabin life well lived.

Just steps from the home, a detached two-car garage provides space for boat, ATVs,
lawn equipment, and hunting gear. Less than 400 yards away, the property borders Waller Lake — an exceptional
waterfowl haven where the current owner has enjoyed some of his most thrilling
duck hunts. During high-water months, the river’s edge comes alive — allowing the
current owner to dock his boat
directly behind the home. When water levels recede, two public boat landings within a
mile make launching quick and convenient. Access to the this property is a
non-exclusive easement over the road formerly known as “Severson’s Private
Road”. This road is also the access to the south neighboring property
owner.

This remarkable retreat captures the very essence of river life — freedom,
recreation, and serenity all rolled into one. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful
getaway, an unbeatable hunting and fishing camp, or a smart investment with low holding costs (taxes approx. $972/year),
this property delivers on every front.

Opportunities like this are rare. Few
properties offer such proximity to the Mississippi’s backwaters, such privacy,
and such unspoiled natural beauty.

If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a piece of riverfront paradise in
Wisconsin’s Driftless Region, now is your chance.

Your Mississippi River adventure
