Property Description
Just five miles east of Tomah, where Interstate 90/94 intersects one of
Wisconsin’s fastest-growing travel corridors, lies a once-in-a-generation
opportunity to own one of the most unique recreational investment properties to
reach the market in decades. Privately owned by the same family for nearly 100
years, this remarkable 50+/- acre estate combines a world-class private
fishery, exceptional hunting habitat, Bear Creek trout frontage, future
development potential and unmatched accessibility into a property that simply
cannot be duplicated.
From the moment you enter the gated drive, you’re welcomed into what feels
like your own private outdoor resort. Towering hardwoods, winding trails and
emerald-blue water create an atmosphere of complete escape despite being only
minutes from Tomah’s restaurants, shopping, healthcare and interstate access.
It’s the rare property where you can launch a boat, catch trophy fish, watch
whitetails filter into evening food plots and still reach Madison, La Crosse or
the Wisconsin Dells with remarkable convenience.
The centerpiece of the estate is an extraordinary 17-acre private lake,
originally engineered in the 1960s by the Wisconsin Highway Department
according to the current owner. Nearly 20 feet deep in areas, the lake has been
meticulously managed for years with 11 aeration diffusers, established spawning habitat, a
private boat launch and an aggressive fisheries management program that has
transformed it into one of the finest private fisheries in the region. Since
2017, hundreds of thousands of baitfish have been introduced alongside
carefully selected stockings of walleye, largemouth bass, black crappie, yellow
perch and bluegill. Natural reproduction is already occurring, creating a
sustainable fishery that promises exceptional angling for generations to come.
Complementing the main lake is a newly constructed 2.5± acre permitted pond, completed in
2023 and thoughtfully designed with future vision in mind. Exceeding 16 feet in
depth, this striking body of water features its own powered island-style
peninsula, drilled well, electrical service and recent fish stockings, creating
an incredible setting for a luxury cabin, executive retreat, boutique
campground, waterfront event venue or private family compound. Few recreational
properties offer this level of infrastructure already in place.
Beyond the water, the land itself is equally impressive. Established food
plots, strategically positioned travel corridors, thick bedding cover and
neighboring agricultural fields combine to create exceptional deer hunting.
Once surrounding crops are harvested each fall, the property’s food plots
become one of the most attractive remaining food sources within roughly a
one-mile radius, naturally concentrating wildlife and creating outstanding
late-season hunting opportunities. Waterfowl utilize both ponds throughout
migration while Bear Creek, a designated trout stream,
further enhances the recreational diversity of this extraordinary holding.
Miles of established UTV trails weave throughout the property, allowing
effortless access whether you’re hunting, fishing, hiking or simply exploring.
Thousands of recently planted evergreen trees continue to mature, adding
privacy, beauty and long-term habitat enhancement while increasing the
property’s overall investment appeal.
For developers and investors, the possibilities are equally compelling. Few
Wisconsin properties combine Interstate
90/94 frontage, exceptional visibility, existing utilities,
multiple water features and recreational value into one offering. Whether your
vision includes a luxury campground, glamping destination, executive retreat,
waterfront hospitality concept, conservation-minded family estate, corporate
getaway or simply holding a rare hard asset with significant appreciation
potential, this property provides an extraordinary canvas.
With electrical service already on-site, remarkably low annual property
taxes of under $340,
excellent road access and nearly limitless recreational amenities, this is far
more than vacant land—it’s a legacy investment designed to be enjoyed today
while appreciating for decades to come.
Properties offering this combination of private water, established
fisheries, premium hunting habitat, development flexibility and interstate
accessibility rarely become available. Opportunities like this don’t simply
come on the market—they become part of a family’s legacy.
If you’ve been searching for one of the finest recreational investment
properties in Wisconsin, your search ends here.
