Property Description

Among the idyllic rolling hills between Dodgeville and Mount Horeb and located 5-miles north of Ridgeway, WI lies one of Southwest Wisconsin’s most remarkable and storied properties—a historic 306+/- acre farm that offers far more than fertile ground. This Iowa County treasure, dating back to the mid 1800s, is rich with American heritage, timeless beauty, and unmatched investment potential. Originally settled by pioneering homesteaders, the area became a bustling stagecoach stop and, as legend has it, played a role in the Underground Railroad—its legacy still visible today through the enduring presence of a 19th-century Blacksmith Shop standing tall as a monument to hard work, community, and craftsmanship. That Blacksmith Shop sits on ¼-acre owned by the Historical Society Territory Inc.

Now, after over a century of family ownership, the opportunity has arrived to acquire this once-in-a-generation estate—a property where history, agriculture, and financial promise converge. Boasting 130+/- acres of productive row crops currently in corn and soybeans rotation, the fertile land with rich soil, offering rental income potential. Another 60+/- acres are dedicated to lush pasture, Miles of fenced and cross-fenced with water infrastructure, creeks, and under the road cattle culverts ideal for livestock grazing and rotation across all three sides of County Road H and Knobs Road.

The landscape is a masterpiece of usability and natural beauty. The land wraps along three sides of the road, making it ripe for future parcel splits options. Adding to the allure is over a half-mile of frontage along Mill Creek, a Class I trout stream meandering through the peaceful valley floor.

Two homes grace the property—one is the older farmhouse with little to no/value which is utilized as a residence currently rented month-to-month near the farm’s headquarters, and the second home is also rented month to month and is a 2-bedroom, 2-bath home with a basement, ideal as a primary residence or continue as a rental. A network of buildings, machine sheds, and shops offers abundant storage and utility space, while a large pond adds to the farm’s wildlife and livestock value.

Beyond agriculture, this land is a sanctuary for outdoor enthusiasts. The southwestern portion features 60+/- acres of beautiful and mature hardwood forest populated by oak, hickory, and walnut. Wildlife abounds, and open food plots have been thoughtfully planted in clover for optimal deer and turkey hunting. A peaceful 1-acre cemetery—“Ruggles Cemetery”—quietly honors the farm’s earliest stewards and adds a poignant sense of place located south of Knobs Road.

Whether you’re a farmer, investor, developer, conservationist, or someone in search of a property with soul, this farm is a powerful bridge between past and future. As capital continues to shift toward land-based wealth, properties like this—with real income, historical significance, and flexible potential—stand in a class of their own.
