Richland Center, WI 53581 - Richland County

Tucked away along a quiet town road in Richland County awaits 168+/- acres that embodies the dreams of those that have long searched for their own piece of paradise within Wisconsins Driftless region. Carefully crafted over the last 52 years by a dedicated conservationist, a new legacy waits for you, your family, and this breathtaking estate.

Entering through either of the two gated drives, a short gradual slope leads to multiple outbuildings. All of which are equipped with electricity. A rustic 15x20+/- uninsulated cabin provides relief from the elements and a cozy wood stove for crisp Fall visits. Ample storage is available via the 30x80+/- machine shed accompanied by a 20x30 enclosed, heated shop. A well-maintained reminder of the old farmstead can be found via the milk house. Hidden inside is a hand pump well to provide water onsite.

A property of this caliber within the Driftless region would not be complete without a highly coveted Class 2 trout stream carrying cold, crystal clear water within a stones throw of your cabins front porch. Pine Valley Creek provides year-round open, flowing water and fishing opportunities. Less than one quarter mile away, Pine Valley Creek merges with Mill Creek, another Class 2 trout stream.

Stretching across Pine Valley Creek is a well-established concrete bridge leading to a charming 30x52+/- barn in very respectable condition equipped with electricity. Nearby, 20+/- acres of fenced pasture abound with countless apple trees.

Multiple trails and roads depart the buildings making their way across the property which stretches nearly 1 mile east-west through native hardwoods and beautiful tree plantations. For over half a century the current owner has invested countless hours in establishing a forest management legacy that will be in place for generations to come. Examples of this work consist of planting tens of thousands of trees, fighting off invasive species, pruning within plantations, timber stand improvement projects to remove low quality stems, and conducting well planned stand thinnings to promote maximum health and growth.

For those whose dreams are haunted by cunning hill country bucks and birds, welcome to the neighborhood. Lying approx. 5+/- miles to the south is the small town of Boaz which has become synonymous with fantastic deer country for those that research this region. Easterly access to the parcel is favorable for the predominately westerly winds. Immediate neighbors to the south, west, and northwest own hundreds of acres collectively. The large ridge top is littered with native browse, cover, and opportunities for small hidden food plots. The pasture ground presents the opportunity to be converted to native grasses or green food sources for increased habitat potential.

It is a rarity and a pleasure to be able to work with a property that presents such enormous potential for such a wide demographic of interests.
