Tucked away at the end of a quiet dead-end road, this 68± acre Monroe County property offers the privacy, natural diversity, and flexibility that continue to make western Wisconsin recreational land so desirable. Gated access leads into a landscape of mature hardwood timber, winding stream frontage, secluded openings, and diverse habitat that provides an ideal setting for hunting, recreation, or building your own country retreat. The property is anchored by beautiful hardwood timber with an open understory that's easy to navigate while offering numerous locations for stand placement and future habitat improvements. Throughout the property, pockets of thick highland & wetland cover create secure bedding areas, while a year-round flowing stream winds through the landscape, providing a dependable water source and encouraging consistent wildlife movement. Several existing openings offer excellent opportunities for food plots or native habitat restoration, allowing the next owner to continue improving an already solid recreational property. Heavy deer sign throughout the tract reflects the strong wildlife use that this combination of timber, cover, water, and natural browse naturally provides. Beyond its recreational appeal, the property also offers multiple potential building locations that could accommodate a cabin, weekend getaway, or country home, allowing future owners to enjoy the property throughout every season. The timber is not enrolled in any government programs, providing complete flexibility for future timber management, habitat projects, and long-term land stewardship. Conveniently located just minutes from Tomah and the Interstate 90/94 corridor, the property provides excellent accessibility while maintaining the privacy and quiet setting that define rural Monroe County. Whether your goals include hunting, hiking, camping, habitat improvement, timber management, or building a private retreat, this property offers the opportunity to shape the land around your own vision while enjoying everything western Wisconsin has to offer.

Just five miles east of Tomah lies an extraordinary opportunity to own something increasingly difficult to find in Wisconsin—50± private acres built around water, wildlife and year-round outdoor recreation. Owned by the same family for nearly a century, this remarkable Monroe County property features a massive 17± acre private lake, newly constructed 2.5± acre pond, exceptional fishing, established food plots, whitetail hunting, waterfowl opportunities, Bear Creek frontage, trails, a drilled well and electrical service. This isn't simply vacant land. It's your own private outdoor playground. Enter through the gated drive and the property quickly disappears into a surprisingly secluded landscape of water, timber, trails and wildlife habitat. Spend summer mornings fishing for walleye and bass, launch the boat for an afternoon on your own private lake, gather around camp in the evening, hunt whitetails over strategically positioned food plots come fall and watch migrating waterfowl drop into the ponds as the seasons change. And remarkably, you're doing all of it approximately five miles from Tomah with exceptional access to Interstate 90/94 and US Highway 12. A 17± Acre Private Lake The undisputed centerpiece is the 17± acre private lake occupying a tremendous portion of the property. Originally engineered in the 1960s by the Wisconsin Highway Department according to the current owner, the lake reaches nearly 20 feet deep in areas and has been intensively managed as a private fishery. An array of aeration diffusers established spawning habitat, a private boat launch and years of stocking and fisheries management have created something exceptionally difficult—and expensive—to replicate. Since 2017, hundreds of thousands of forage fish have been introduced alongside stockings of walleye, largemouth bass, black crappie, yellow perch and bluegill. Natural reproduction has also been observed, further strengthening the long-term recreational value of the fishery. The scale of the lake is what separates this property. This is not a small farm pond meant only for shore fishing. The aerial photography makes it clear: you can launch a boat and truly enjoy the water—fish it, cruise it, explore it, and spend an entire summer afternoon on it without leaving your own property. For the serious angler or family searching for a private recreational getaway, that is an incredibly rare amenity. A Second 2.5± Acre Recreational Pond As if one private fishery weren't enough, a permitted 2.5± acre pond was completed in 2023, creating an entirely different recreational setting on the southern portion of the property. Reaching more than 16 feet deep, the pond features beautiful emerald-blue water, recent fish stockings and a distinctive island-style peninsula extending into the center of the pond. A picnic table overlooking the water creates the kind of simple gathering place where weekends are supposed to be spent—fishing with the kids, grilling dinner, sitting around a fire or watching the sun disappear over the water. Even more importantly, infrastructure is already here. A drilled well and electrical service have been installed near the pond, giving the next owner valuable utility for recreational use, camping and future improvements subject to applicable governmental approvals. A limited soil evaluation indicates a conventional septic system is not anticipated and that an engineered septic system may be required, subject to final design and governmental approval. Rather than building the property's identity around residential development, its highest emotional appeal may be exactly what already exists today: an incredible private recreational escape. Built for Whitetails The water may grab your attention first, but hunters shouldn't overlook what surrounds it. This property is positioned within a diverse neighborhood of agricultural ground, timber, brush and creek-bottom habitat. On the property itself, thick young timber and regenerating cover provide security and bedding habitat while established openings and food plots create destination feeding areas. That combination becomes particularly interesting after surrounding agricultural crops are harvested. As neighboring fields transition into bare ground each fall, established food sources within the property have the potential to become increasingly attractive to local deer. With water, security cover and food all concentrated across approximately 50 acres, a knowledgeable hunter can begin thinking immediately about stand locations, access routes, screening cover and late-season food. The extensive internal trail system is another major advantage, providing convenient access throughout the property for hunting, habitat work, UTV riding and property maintenance. Thousands of planted evergreen trees are also becoming established throughout portions of the tract, creating additional screening, wildlife habitat and long-term visual appeal as they mature. Fishing. Hunting. Boating. Camping. Exploring. That's where I believe this property's story should live. Not in what someone might someday build here. In what someone can do here right now. Bring the camper and establish a private weekend basecamp. Launch the fishing boat. Run the UTV trails. Manage food plots. Hunt deer in November. Chase waterfowl during migration. Fish through the ice in winter. Spend summer evenings beside the pond. Teach the kids or grandkids to fish without competing with another boat at the landing. Bear Creek adds another layer of natural diversity to the property, while the mixture of water, wooded cover, open areas and planted vegetation creates an environment capable of supporting an impressive variety of wildlife. For somebody who has always dreamed about owning their own private fishing and hunting retreat, this property offers something remarkably close to a personal outdoor resort. Incredible Accessibility Perhaps the most unusual component is location. Recreational properties of this caliber are often buried miles down rural roads and hours from major transportation corridors. Here, you're approximately five miles east of Tomah with immediate proximity to Interstate 90/94 and US Highway 12. That accessibility makes weekend use easy. Load the truck Friday afternoon, bring the boat, camper, UTV, hunting equipment and fishing rods, and within minutes of leaving Tomah you're behind the gate at your own private recreational property. The interstate visibility also creates long-term investment intrigue, but unlike traditional commercial acreage, this land doesn't have to wait for some future use to create value. You can enjoy it today. A Recreational Property That Is Nearly Impossible to Replicate Consider what it would take to start with ordinary vacant acreage and recreate what's already here: acquire approximately 50 acres near a major transportation corridor, construct a 17-acre lake approaching 20 feet in depth, build another permitted 2.5-acre pond exceeding 16 feet deep, establish fisheries, install aeration, construct a boat launch, drill a well, bring in electrical service, establish trails, plant thousands of trees and develop wildlife habitat. That's what makes this property different. The heavy lifting has already been done. With annual property taxes reportedly under $340, the carrying cost is remarkably modest for a recreational holding of this scale. Whether you're a serious fisherman searching for private water, a hunter wanting a manageable tract with food, cover and water, a family looking for its own camping and outdoor getaway, or simply someone who has always dreamed about owning a private lake where weekends revolve around fishing rods, boats, campfires and whitetails—this is the kind of property that rarely exists at any price. Fifty acres. Two substantial bodies of private water. Fishing, boating, hunting, camping, trails, wildlife, drilled well and electricity. Five miles from Tomah. After nearly 100 years in the same family, this is an opportunity for the next owner to write an entirely new chapter—not by changing what this property is, but by enjoying everything it already has to offer. This is more than recreational land. It's the kind of place where weekends become traditions and traditions eventually become a legacy.

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.

Located off a dead-end road in northern Monroe County, this 160± acre property offers a solid mix of hunting, recreation, and usable land in Wisconsin's Driftless Region. The property features rolling terrain, several deep ravines, mixed-age pine plantations, pockets of hardwoods, established food plots, buildable acreage, and one of its best features—an extensive trail system that allows you to access and enjoy nearly the entire property. Approximately 12± miles of manicured and maintained trails wind throughout the acreage. The trails are wide, well kept, and marked with directional signs, making it easy to navigate the property by UTV or ATV. Whether you're heading to a stand, checking food plots, working on habitat, hiking, or simply taking an afternoon ride, there's a lot of ground here to explore. From a hunting standpoint, much of the work is already done. Approximately 10± acres of established food plots are spread throughout the tract, with four enclosed hunting blinds positioned to take advantage of food sources, terrain, and natural travel corridors. Shooting lanes have been established and maintained, allowing the next owner to hunt the property as it sits while still having plenty of room to make it their own. The land has a good mix of habitat. Different ages of pine provide thicker bedding and security cover, while pockets of mixed hardwoods add mast production and diversity. Deep ravines and rolling terrain create natural funnels and pinch points, and the established food plots give wildlife consistent food sources throughout the property. The combination provides habitat for whitetail deer, wild turkey, upland birds, and other wildlife common to western Wisconsin. Another advantage is the property's adjacency to public land, adding additional acreage to explore and expanding the recreational opportunities beyond the property lines. Combined with the private trail network, there's plenty of room for hunting, UTV/ATV riding, hiking, shed hunting, habitat projects, and simply spending time outdoors throughout the year. The property also offers buildable acreage for those looking to add a cabin, hunting camp, or country home. With the trail network and recreational improvements already established, a future building site could provide a home base while keeping the majority of the acreage dedicated to hunting and recreation. Any intended construction should be confirmed with the appropriate local zoning and permitting authorities. Located near Sparta with convenient access to the surrounding Monroe County area, this is a large recreational tract where much of the groundwork has already been completed. The trails are in, food plots are established, blinds are set, public land is next door, and there's room to build and continue shaping the property around your own plans.
