Galesville, WI
Trempealeau
Perched high atop one of the tallest ridges in western Wisconsin, Oak Ridge Trophy Whitetail Estate stands among the Midwest’s most elite hunting and recreational properties. Set in the rolling bluffs of Trempealeau County, this 252± acre legacy estate blends world-class whitetail habitat, income-producing conservation practices, and luxury lodging into one extraordinary turnkey offering. Nearly 180 acres of mature hardwood timber flow seamlessly into cedar bedding cover and 48 acres of newly established CRP pollinator habitat, creating a rich and diverse landscape designed for long-term sustainability. The land’s balance of food, water, and cover is unmatched: 15± acres of rotating food plots—clover, chicory, soybeans, corn, and brassicas—pair with four earth ponds and three clay-lined waterholes to provide consistent nutrition and dependable water sources throughout the year. This carefully engineered ecosystem naturally attracts and holds trophy-caliber whitetails, turkey, and abundant wildlife season after season. At the heart of the estate stands a brand-new 4,000 sq ft luxury barndominium, blending rustic character with high-end finishes. Custom birch cabinetry, quartz countertops, hardwood floors, and a natural-stone wood-burning fireplace define the open-concept interior beneath soaring 16-ft ceilings. Two bedrooms and a full bath offer comfort after long days afield, while the heated attached shop, large covered porch, and professionally landscaped firepit area extend the living space outdoors. Panoramic sunrise & sunset views sweep across the ridge, creating a setting as peaceful as it is breathtaking. For serious hunters, this is a fully developed, turnkey operation. Five new Titan Pro Combo Blinds—each equipped with heaters and comfortable seating—anchor key ridge points, funnels, and travel corridors. Over twenty ladder and hang-on stands are trimmed, cleared, and outfitted with safety lines, each positioned with prevailing winds and stealthy access in mind. With top access from the east and hidden northern trails, strategic movement across the property is effortless. Trail-cam history and harvest records confirm consistent production of mature, record-class bucks year after year. Free from MFL enrollment and located in a strong QDM neighborhood, the property offers full autonomy over timber management and habitat decisions. Its location—within reach of Winona MN, Eau Claire, and La Crosse—provides the ideal blend of privacy, accessibility, and rural luxury. Oak Ridge is more than a hunting property; it is a legacy destination built with intention, stewardship, and passion for the land. From crisp morning hunts to evenings around the fire, this estate delivers a lifestyle rooted in wild beauty, restorative quiet, and generations of outdoor tradition.

Holmen, WI
La Crosse
Located at N6671 County Road XX in Holmen, WI, this expansive property presents a truly rare and strategic opportunity for forward-thinking developers and investors. Set high above the Mississippi River Valley with panoramic views of the river and the surrounding bluffs, this site offers not only breathtaking scenery but also an exceptional location that is perfectly positioned for a transformative development project. Spanning a substantial footprint, the property was formerly home to a large-scale commercial hog raising operation and includes extensive existing infrastructure: nine hog barns ranging in size from 55’x150’ to 85’x425’, three office buildings, a well house, two large liquid manure pits, and multiple grain bins with a grain leg. While this infrastructure could be revitalized for renewed use in agricultural production—particularly for hog or poultry operations—the true highest and best use lies in the property’s redevelopment. What sets this property apart is the development potential it holds. With its size, layout, and proximity to Holmen—a rapidly growing community in the Coulee Region—this site is primed for conversion into a residential subdivision, bluffview estate lots, or even a mixed-use development that leverages the area’s scenic appeal and accessibility. The secluded elevated setting offers unobstructed river and bluff views, which are a significant value-add for any residential or recreational development. Properties with this kind of natural topography and visual impact are few and far between in the region. The location also provides excellent access to nearby highways, utilities, and amenities, making it a highly feasible option for developers looking to capitalize on the strong demand for housing and rural living within reach of La Crosse, Onalaska, and Holmen. As more families and individuals seek space, views, and quality of life outside of city centers, this property offers the perfect canvas for a modern, scenic, and high-demand development concept. For investors or developers ready to reimagine a property with significant upside and stunning natural features, this is a rare chance to acquire a site with built-in equity and unmatched potential. With the right vision and planning, this property can be transformed into one of the most sought-after developments in the area.
