288± Acre Farm, Hunting & Black River…
Melrose, WI
Jackson
Jackson
Located at N1590 Lovell Street near Melrose, this 288± acre Jackson County property is the kind of place that can play more than one role. It is currently operating as a working dairy farm, with productive crop and hay ground, established livestock facilities and the infrastructure needed to keep a farm moving. But follow the fields back into the property and you'll find another side altogether—rolling hardwood ridges, thick cover, secluded ponds and approximately 1.25± miles of frontage along the Black River.
At the center of it all is a spacious 5-bedroom farmhouse built in 1999. Around it are approximately 100± acres of productive open ground and a well-established farmstead. Beyond that is a large block of recreational ground with the food, water, cover and terrain that make this part of Jackson County well known for deer and turkey hunting.
The dairy operation is an important part of what has been built here, but it doesn't have to define what comes next. Continue farming as it sits, transition into beef or another livestock operation, develop a more diversified and self-sufficient farmstead, or make agriculture one part of a larger hunting and recreational property.
There is enough ground here to do a little bit of everything—and enough infrastructure already in place to get started.
A Country Home That Fits the Property
Built in 1999, the 5-bedroom, 3-bath farmhouse was laid out with both space and everyday country living in mind.
Coming in from the attached 2-car garage, you're greeted by a mudroom and main-floor laundry—an especially useful setup when your day involves the barn, fields, woods or Wisconsin weather. Boots and work clothes have a place to land before entering the main part of the home.
The main floor opens into a large kitchen and dining area with enough room to serve as the everyday gathering place of the house. The adjoining living room provides plenty of space to settle in at the end of the day, while a main-floor bedroom and full bathroom add flexibility to the layout.
Upstairs you'll find four additional bedrooms, another full bathroom and plenty of closet space. Storage was clearly part of the plan when the home was built, with useful closets throughout both floors.
The unfinished basement adds even more room. It is already stubbed for a fourth bathroom, provides substantial storage and has direct access to the garage. A future owner could leave it just as it is for work and storage space or look at finishing a portion of it down the road.
It's not a house that was dropped onto a farm as an afterthought. The mudroom, laundry, garage access, storage and overall floor plan make sense for someone who actually spends their time outside and on the property.
A Working Farm With a Practical Layout
The farm is currently operating as a dairy, and the barnyard has been laid out around the day-to-day work that goes with it.
An 80+ stanchion barn anchors the operation and includes covered feed bunks and a dedicated feed-mixing area. A concrete cow yard helps with cleaning and maintenance, while the location of the surrounding buildings keeps feed, livestock, machinery and equipment within a workable area.
Additional improvements include a hay storage shed, machine shed, multiple loafing sheds, calf barn and an older granary/chicken coop.
The advantage here isn't simply having a long list of buildings. It's having buildings that have been used together as part of an active farm.
For the next owner, that could mean continuing the dairy operation much as it sits. It could also mean beef cattle or another livestock operation where the existing feeding areas, livestock buildings, storage and concrete already have value. For someone looking at a diversified farmstead, the combination of buildings gives you room for livestock, poultry, hay, machinery, feed and storage without starting from scratch.
Water Infrastructure That Adds to the Farm
Water is well established across the property.
Two drilled wells serve the home and barnyard. In addition, a separate irrigation well capable of approximately 500 GPM and powered by a stationary engine is rated to serve approximately 40± acres.
That adds another useful tool for the productive side of the farm and gives a future owner options when looking at crop production and how the open acreage is managed.
Away from the farmstead, multiple ponds and the Black River add water to the recreational side of the property as well.
Approximately 100± Acres of Productive Open Ground
Approximately 40± acres of fertile tillable ground are currently being used for row crops, with another 60± acres of open tillable ground being utilized for grass-hay production.
That gives the farm approximately 100± acres of productive open ground supporting the current operation.
For a traditional farm buyer, those acres provide crop and forage production. For someone looking at a more diversified setup, there is room to think about livestock, pasture, hay, crops, gardens and other food production. And for the recreational buyer, the relationship between those fields and the surrounding timber is every bit as important.
Large agricultural fields provide an established food source along a substantial block of cover. That transition from open ground into timber creates miles of edge and gives deer and turkey a reason to move between the two.
It's one of the places where the farming and recreational sides of the property work well together.
Once You Leave the Fields, It's a Different Property
The wooded portion of these 288± acres is made up of mature mixed hardwoods spread across rolling Western Wisconsin terrain.
There isn't just one ridge or one timbered hillside here. Numerous ridges, dips, draws and elevation changes break up the property, along with sections of thicker understory that provide bedding and security cover.
For a whitetail hunter, that's important.
The crop and hay ground provide food. The thicker areas provide cover. Ridges, draws and terrain changes give deer natural ways to travel between the two. Ponds and the Black River add water, while the sheer size of the property gives an owner room to manage hunting pressure and access.
On a smaller hunting property, you often have to make the same few acres serve as food, bedding, access and hunting ground. With 288± acres, there is room to spread things out.
A future owner can begin looking at bedding areas, sanctuary ground, stand access, food sources, timber management and habitat improvements as pieces of a larger plan rather than isolated projects.
The mix is equally attractive for wild turkey, with hardwood timber, open fields, edge habitat and plenty of room for birds to move throughout the property.
Ponds & Waterfowl Habitat
Multiple ponds are located within the timber, creating additional wildlife habitat away from the main farmstead.
Those secluded ponds add another water source for deer and other wildlife while also providing habitat for wood ducks and other waterfowl.
It's another small detail that adds up on a property this size. You're not relying on one habitat type. Crop ground, hay fields, mature timber, thick cover, ponds and river bottom all come together within the same tract.
1.25± Miles Along the Black River
Follow the property far enough and you eventually reach one of its biggest recreational features—the Black River.
Approximately 1.25± miles of river frontage gives the property a completely different dimension.
The Black River offers fishing opportunities for species including walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass, muskellunge, catfish and panfish. The river corridor adds waterfowl hunting opportunities as well, while kayaking, canoeing and tubing provide another way to enjoy the property during the warmer months.
For someone who spends a lot of time outside, that's where a property like this starts to make sense beyond dollars per acre or the number of buildings.
A spring morning might be spent chasing turkeys before checking fields later in the day. Summer brings hay, crops, fishing and time on the river. By fall, the same farm transitions into deer and waterfowl country.
There is always another part of the property to use.
A Working Dairy Today, But It Doesn't Have to Stop There
There is value in the fact that this is an operating farm. The buildings aren't theoretical. The barnyard isn't an old setup that hasn't been used in years. The crop and hay ground are part of an active agricultural operation.
At the same time, a buyer doesn't have to be looking for a traditional dairy farm to understand what is here.
The livestock facilities could serve another agricultural operation. Approximately 100± acres of productive open ground can continue producing crops and forage. The irrigation well adds another option for managing part of that acreage. The granary/chicken coop, storage buildings and livestock facilities lend themselves to a more diversified farmstead.
For someone interested in becoming more self-sufficient, there is enough land and infrastructure here to raise livestock, grow crops and food, cut hay, keep poultry, manage timber and hunt their own ground.
And for someone whose priority is hunting and recreation, the working acreage can remain productive while nearly 300 acres of timber, fields, ponds and river frontage provide room to manage a serious recreational property.
Whether the next owner continues what's here today or takes the farm in another direction, the future is right out your back door..

Turnkey 28± Acre Hunting Property Near Melrose,…
Melrose, WI
Jackson
Jackson
Located just 3 miles from Melrose, this 28± acre property packs a lot of hunting and recreational opportunity into a manageable piece of ground. With established food plots, two enclosed hunting blinds, four ladder stands, a maintained UTV trail system, ridge-top access, a small creek, and diverse terrain, much of the work has already been done.
Access is provided by a 30' deeded easement leading into the property from the east and bringing you directly to the top of the ridge. From there, approximately 3± acres of open ground currently planted in a variety of preferred wildlife forages create multiple established food sources surrounded by natural cover. The secluded ridge-top setting creates several natural locations overlooking the field edges and wooded draws below.
As you move through the property, the terrain quickly changes. Deep timbered draws fall away from the ridge before meeting a small creek that winds through the valley. On the opposite side, the ground climbs back to another broad ridge top, creating multiple elevation changes, travel corridors, and natural pinch points within the property.
A developed UTV trail system ties it all together, providing access from the upper field down through the timber, across the creek, and back onto the opposite ridge and everywhere in between. For a property of this size, the trail network makes a big difference—providing easier access for hunting, checking cameras, maintaining food plots, hauling equipment, or simply hiking and enjoying the land.
From a hunting standpoint, this property is set up and ready to hunt this fall. Two enclosed hunting blinds and four ladder stands are already positioned throughout the acreage, with strategically placed established food plots adding additional attraction beyond the existing surrounding crop fields. The combination of food, water, timber, elevation changes, and secluded ridge tops provides multiple options for hunting deer and turkey as conditions change throughout the season.
You're not starting with raw land and spending the next several years developing access and hunting locations. The trails are established, stands and blinds are in place, food sources have been developed, and the terrain naturally gives the property several different areas to hunt and enjoy.
Just minutes from Melrose, this is a turnkey western Wisconsin hunting property that's ready for the next owner to start using from day one.

37.61-Acre Trophy Whitetail & Recreational Property |…
Hixton, WI
Jackson
Jackson
If you’ve been searching western Wisconsin for a manageable hunting property that hunts far bigger than its acreage suggests, this 37.61-acre tract near Hixton deserves your attention. Here, the ingredients that serious whitetail hunters spend years trying to assemble—top access, multiple entry points, agricultural food, secluded plots, timber, elevation change and an established trail system that come together on one highly strategic piece of ground.
Located on Pierce Road in Jackson County, Wisconsin, just a short distance from the Trempealeau County line, this vacant recreational property offers an outstanding opportunity to hunt, build, establish a hunting camp or simply own your own piece of western Wisconsin deer country.
Approximately 6+/- acres of row crop occupy the northern portion of the property, creating a major destination food source immediately adjacent to substantial timber cover. Beyond the agricultural acreage, multiple established food plots are tucked into the property, complemented by apple trees and planted trees that add both wildlife value and habitat diversity.
But the real story here is the layout.
Study the topography and you'll quickly recognize why this 37-acre property offers so much hunting potential. The ground transitions from agricultural acreage into wooded draws, sidehills, benches and steeper terrain, with an internal trail network providing access throughout the property. Elevation changes exceeding 150 feet across portions of the tract create natural travel corridors and terrain features that a seasoned whitetail hunter can immediately appreciate.
Perhaps most important is access.
The property can be approached from the north, west and south, providing tremendous flexibility for hunting different winds and seasonal movement patterns. County Highway G borders the western side, Pierce Road provides northern access, and the southern end offers another approach. That ability to slip into different portions of a hunting property without continually disturbing the same area is a significant advantage—especially on a tract of this size.
There is already strong evidence that mature deer are using the property comfortably. The owners have captured daylight trail-camera photos of quality bucks, which is an important sign for buyers seeking a property where mature whitetails are active during legal hunting hours—not just passing through after dark.
The existing trail system winds through the timber, connecting the agricultural ground with multiple interior openings and food plots. These secluded pockets can serve as valuable staging areas between bedding cover and larger destination food sources, while the apple trees, row crops, and established plots provide multiple food options throughout the season.
The property also offers something many dedicated hunting tracts don't: excellent recreational and future-use versatility. For the buyer who wants more than a place to hang a treestand, the land presents opportunities to explore a future homesite or hunting-camp setting, subject to applicable zoning and approvals. Build your western Wisconsin getaway, establish a basecamp for hunting season, improve the existing habitat or simply keep the property predominantly wild.
And at 37.61 acres, the property sits in a particularly appealing category. It's large enough to provide meaningful hunting opportunities and habitat management potential without requiring the investment or maintenance associated with a sprawling 100- or 200-acre farm.
Plant the plots. Trim the trails. Hang stands. Prune the apple trees. Improve bedding cover. Watch trail cameras throughout the summer and begin piecing together how a particular buck uses the ridge once October arrives.
You ease in from the top with the wind in your favor. Below you, wooded sidehills fall toward the valley while agricultural fields stretch across the surrounding western Wisconsin countryside. Somewhere between a bedding area and one of those secluded food plots, a mature buck gets on his feet during daylight. That's what land like this is about.
Not simply owning 37.61 acres, but owning a piece of ground you can learn, improve and hunt year after year.
For the outdoor enthusiast searching for vacant hunting and recreational land near Hixton, Wisconsin, this property brings together a compelling combination of trophy-whitetail potential, agricultural food, established plots, multiple access points, diverse terrain and the opportunity to create a western Wisconsin hunting retreat entirely your own.

34.5± acre high-ground property in the Town…
Warrens, WI
Jackson
Jackson
Located in the Town of Bear Bluff in the heart of Western WI Cranberry Country, this 34.5± acre high-ground property was previously developed as a commercial hop yard supplying hops to breweries throughout Wisconsin. Considerable time, planning, and investment went into creating the operation, leaving behind infrastructure that would be difficult and costly to duplicate today.
The main acreage is surrounded by an approximately 10-foot deer fence with a commercial access gate, creating a controlled piece of ground with possibilities extending well beyond its former use. The existing well and irrigation infrastructure remain in place from the hop operation, providing a foundation for agricultural, specialty crop, wildlife, or other future land-management uses.
At the center of the improvements is a 72'x40' Pinno building that's heated and insulated with 14-foot sidewalls, a 12-foot overhead door, bathroom, conventional septic system, and 3-phase power. It's a substantial building that provides immediate space for equipment, storage, a shop, or supporting whatever direction the property takes next.
An additional 5± acre wooded parcel abuts the main acreage, adding timber, cover, and another layer of diversity to the property. Beyond its boundaries are thousands of acres of privately held land, helping preserve the rural character and large-block setting surrounding the property.
What makes this property interesting is that its previous chapter doesn't have to define its next one.
The infrastructure from the former hop yard creates a starting point for someone looking to bring agriculture back to the land, establish specialty crops, develop a highly controlled wildlife property, or create a private recreational retreat. The acreage, fencing, water infrastructure, commercial-quality building, power, and additional wooded ground provide pieces that would take considerable time and capital to assemble from scratch.
The seller estimates the duplication cost of the existing infrastructure at well over $1 million. Rather than starting with vacant ground, the next owner has an established framework already in place and the opportunity to determine what comes next.
For the right owner, this is the kind of property that can evolve over time. Farm it. Manage it. Hunt it. Build upon what's here. Or take the land in an entirely new direction.
