65+/- Acres of Turnkey Whitetail Country —…

Friendship, WI
Adams
Some hunting properties need years of work before they hunt well. This one is ready now. Tucked into the rolling sand country of Adams County, this 65+/- acre tract has been managed with intent. Miles of established interior roads make every corner of the farm accessible without blowing out bedding — you can slip in and out of stands quietly, in the dark, in any wind. Food plots are in place. Water holes are dug. Elevated blinds and platforms are already hung and hunting. A fruit tree orchard adds another draw and another season of activity. The habitat itself is what sets the property apart. Rolling topography breaks the land into distinct pockets, and the mix of mature hardwoods and conifer cover gives deer everything they need in one place — thermal protection through the Wisconsin winter, secure bedding on the ridges and benches, and travel corridors that funnel movement in predictable ways. Beyond the property lines, irrigated agricultural fields surround the tract on multiple sides, providing a season-long food supply that keeps deer home and holds them through the rut. The proof is already on camera. Trail cams have been running through the summer and the results speak for themselves — consistent deer numbers and multiple quality bucks using the property. This isn’t a farm that needs three years of habitat work before it produces. The deer are here now. What You Get Miles of established road and trail system Established food plots and water holes Elevated blinds and shooting platforms in place Fruit tree orchard Rolling hill topography with diverse cover and bedding Hardwood and conifer forest mix Surrounded by irrigated ag food sources Excellent frontage and road access Potential build site Current summer trail camera history   More than a hunting farm. Excellent road access opens the door to a build site — a cabin, a weekend retreat, or a full-time home overlooking the rolling landscape. And the location is what makes this tract genuinely rare. You’re minutes from Castle Rock Lake and Northern Bay, putting boating, fishing, golf, kayaking, and waterfront dining within a short drive of your front door. The surrounding area is a hub for ATV and UTV riding, snowmobiling, and camping, with year-round recreation in every direction. Who this fits. The buyer building a legacy family hunting camp. The lake-country recreational buyer who wants acreage to go with the water. The investor looking at a recreational property with real long-term value in a market where quality Adams County ground doesn’t sit long. Habitat, access, buildability, and location rarely land in the same package. This one does. Call today to schedule a private showing.

Viroqua, WI
Vernon
Located in the hills of Vernon County just outside of Viroqua, this 47± acre recreational property is built for buyers who want to spend their time hunting—not years developing a property. Established food plots, enclosed blinds, maintained trails, and a cabin create a setup that's ready to enjoy this season. The landscape reflects what has made Wisconsin's Driftless Region one of the state's premier destinations for whitetail deer and turkey hunting. Rolling hardwood ridges, wooded draws, and diverse timber create natural travel corridors for wildlife while offering multiple stand locations and quiet access throughout the property. Two established food plots and enclosed hunting blinds provide a solid foundation whether your goal is chasing mature bucks, hunting spring gobblers, or introducing family and friends to the outdoors. The 1000-square-foot cabin serves as a practical basecamp with two bedrooms, one bathroom, power, water, and an updated driveway for dependable access throughout the year. It's comfortable, functional, and ready for hunting season, weekend escapes, or simply spending more time on your own piece of ground. The recreation doesn't stop at the property line. Tainter Creek, a Class I trout stream known for its quality fishing, is just minutes away, while Viroqua offers restaurants, shopping, and everyday conveniences. Whether you're hunting in the fall, fishing trout in the spring, or enjoying quiet weekends away from town, this property provides plenty of reasons to return throughout the year. Finding a property where the habitat improvements, access, and cabin are already in place is becoming increasingly difficult in Vernon County. Here, the work has been done. The next owner can focus on enjoying the property and continuing the traditions that make owning land in Wisconsin's Driftless Region so rewarding.

There are few opportunities remaining to own land where preservation itself is the greatest asset. Located along Grosbeak Avenue in the Town of Oakdale, The Grosbeak Marsh Preserve encompasses approximately 97 acres of permanently protected wetlands and wildlife habitat on the edge of Wisconsin's renowned Driftless Region. Established through a perpetual conservation covenant, the property has been preserved to protect its ecological significance while providing a lasting refuge for native plants, migratory birds, waterfowl, whitetail deer, wild turkey, sandhill cranes, raptors, and countless other species that depend upon healthy wetland ecosystems. Unlike traditional recreational properties where future development often changes the surrounding landscape, this remarkable preserve offers something increasingly difficult to find—certainty. The natural character of the land has been legally protected, ensuring the marshes, native vegetation, and wildlife habitat remain intact for future generations. Throughout the seasons, the property transforms into an ever-changing landscape of life and movement. Spring migrations bring thousands of birds to the wetlands. Summer showcases flourishing native vegetation and thriving ecosystems. Autumn fills the marsh with migrating waterfowl while Wisconsin's brilliant fall colors frame the surrounding countryside. Winter provides a quiet beauty found only in untouched natural landscapes. For wildlife photographers, birdwatchers, conservation organizations, environmental educators, or buyers seeking to preserve an important piece of Wisconsin's natural heritage, ownership extends well beyond the deed. It represents participation in protecting one of Monroe County's valuable wetland ecosystems. Conveniently located near Tomah, Fort McCoy, Interstate 90/94, and numerous public recreation destinations, the property offers exceptional accessibility while remaining immersed within the peaceful rural landscape that defines western Wisconsin. As Wisconsin continues to experience residential growth and recreational land development, permanently protected conservation properties become increasingly uncommon. The Grosbeak Marsh Preserve offers the unique opportunity to own a landscape whose greatest value lies in remaining exactly as nature intended. This is more than land. It is a legacy of stewardship. It is an investment in conservation. It is an opportunity that may never be duplicated. Why This Property Is Unique ✔ Permanently protected wildlife habitat ✔ Approximately 97 contiguous acres ✔ Exceptional wetland ecosystem ✔ Outstanding bird watching ✔ Waterfowl habitat ✔ Whitetail deer frequently utilize surrounding habitat ✔ Incredible wildlife photography opportunities ✔ Natural marsh ecosystem ✔ Convenient Monroe County location ✔ Legacy ownership opportunity Conservation Covenant Summary This property is protected under a recorded perpetual conservation covenant designed to preserve the natural wetland ecosystem. The covenant prohibits future residential or commercial development, construction of buildings, roads, tree removal, agricultural activities, motorized recreational use, and other activities inconsistent with long-term habitat preservation. Buyers are encouraged to review the recorded covenant for complete terms and restrictions.
