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.

An uncommon 37.9+/- acres located within the city limits of Elroy, WI. The property features a 1+ acre residential building site, with the possibility of a south facing walkout lower level, overlooking the property. It is located close enough to walk to the retail stores, restaurants and bars, yet far enough away for some peace and quiet the country has to offer.   Currently the property is used as a pasture for horses. The fencing and gates are included, the horses are not.   The lowlands are a mix of trees and shrubs including oaks and plenty of apple trees, a mix of grasses, and 7-8 natural springs that flow throughout the entire year, even in the winter!   The east property line is the Baraboo River that features fishing and swimming opportunities. The Baraboo River is a Class III Trout Stream with reports of Crappies, Bluegills, Northern and Walleyes caught throughout the river.   A diamond in the rough, waiting for your property design ideas: dig in some trout/swimming ponds and/or duck scrapes, plant some wildlife/deer food plots, plantings of Tamaracks and Swamp White Oaks would be a great fit, plant a prairie or two, install some Bluebird, Wood Duck and Bat houses for some wildlife diversity. A trail system, which would be simple to create, would improve the property immensely and make it easier to access from front to back.   Call today to schedule a showing!
