Property Description
Welcome to an exceptional 95.02-acre recreational estate tucked into the breathtaking Ocooch Mountain region of Richland County, Wisconsin. Here, amid towering hardwood ridges, secluded valleys, picturesque rock outcroppings and the peaceful sounds of flowing water, you’ll discover a meticulously maintained countryside sanctuary that embodies everything extraordinary about owning land in Wisconsin’s Driftless Area.
A Whitetail Hunter’s Masterpiece in Wisconsin’s Ocooch Mountains
Some properties are purchased for the hunting. Others are purchased for the memories. Every so often, a property comes along that offers the extraordinary opportunity to have both.
Imagine waking on a crisp November morning inside your log cabin, the warmth of a crackling wood stove filling the room as you sip your first cup of coffee. Beyond the windows, a beautiful pond reflects the surrounding hillsides while the hardwood timber comes alive with the anticipation of another unforgettable day in the whitetail woods.
This is the kind of place serious hunters dream about. A property where years of thoughtful land stewardship, wildlife habitat improvements, agricultural production and recreational infrastructure have come together to create something truly remarkable.
Whether you’re searching for a premier trophy whitetail hunting retreat, a private family getaway or a legacy recreational estate to enjoy for generations, this Richland County masterpiece deserves your attention.
A Charming Amish-Built Cabin Overlooking a Picturesque Pond
Nestled alongside a tranquil countryside pond, you’ll find a delightful Amish-built cabin that perfectly complements the property’s natural surroundings.
Constructed in 2007, this rustic retreat offers approximately 1,008 square feet of living area, including a loft, and exudes the timeless character of an authentic Wisconsin woodland getaway. Its welcoming covered porch provides an idyllic setting to unwind after a long day in the timber, listen to the evening chorus of wildlife and admire the peaceful reflection of the surrounding landscape across the water.
Inside, a freestanding Hearthstone wood-burning stove creates an inviting atmosphere during Wisconsin’s cooler months. There’s something special about returning from an early-season bow hunt or a frosty November morning and settling into the warmth of a wood fire while recounting the day’s adventures.
The property has also received meaningful infrastructure improvements. Electrical service was installed in 2016, along with a 6-inch drilled well and a 2,000-gallon holding tank. A fiber-optic line has recently been extended to the cabin’s exterior, providing an opportunity for future high-speed internet connectivity upon activation.
The cabin offers an appealing balance of rustic simplicity and modern convenience, making it equally suited for weekend hunting excursions, extended recreational stays or quiet escapes from the demands of everyday life.
And the setting? It’s the kind of picturesque Wisconsin scenery that simply never gets old.
95.02 Acres of Meticulously Managed Whitetail Habitat
For the dedicated whitetail enthusiast, the land itself is where this property truly separates itself from the ordinary. Spanning 95.02 acres, this remarkable tract showcases a diverse landscape of productive agricultural fields, mature hardwood timber, brushy wildlife cover, secluded food plot openings, natural travel corridors and dramatic elevation changes.
The topography is especially compelling.
The property transitions from the lower valley elevations near County Highway DD into an impressive series of wooded ridges and steep sidehills that climb beyond 1,100 feet. Throughout the timber, ridge points, benches, draws and natural terrain transitions create the kind of geographic diversity that experienced whitetail hunters recognize as valuable habitat.
These features provide opportunities to study deer movement, identify potential rut travel routes and establish hunting strategies around changing winds, seasonal food sources and natural funnels. An established network of maintained trails winds throughout the property, connecting the agricultural acreage to interior food plots, wooded hunting locations and elevated portions of the ridge system.
Rather than starting from scratch, the next owner inherits a recreational property where considerable effort has already been invested in access, habitat improvement and hunting infrastructure. Multiple hunting blinds and treestand locations further enhance the property’s appeal, offering established setups throughout the landscape.
Picture sitting in a secluded interior food plot as the first light filters through the hardwood canopy. Somewhere along a nearby ridge, a mature buck is working the downwind edge of a bedding area, searching for the next receptive doe. For a passionate whitetail hunter, it’s difficult to imagine a more rewarding way to spend the season.
Productive Agricultural Land, Food Plots & Extensive Wildlife Plantings
One of the property’s greatest advantages is its exceptional combination of agricultural production and wildlife habitat.
Approximately 21 acres of productive agricultural ground provide an important food source within this heavily wooded Driftless landscape. Corn and alfalfa contribute to the property’s agricultural character while offering attractive feeding opportunities for deer and other wildlife.
Complementing the larger fields is a collection of smaller, strategically located food plot openings situated throughout the interior of the property. These secluded openings create additional opportunities to attract wildlife deeper into the timber and establish hunting locations away from the primary agricultural acreage.
The owner has also invested in an impressive assortment of tree and habitat plantings designed to enhance the landscape over time.
Approximately 150 apple trees have been planted throughout the property, creating a substantial network of potential soft-mast food sources. In addition, roughly 200 oak trees and 200 white pine trees were established as part of past Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) efforts.
Plantings of hybrid poplar and willow add further diversity to the landscape, contributing to the property’s mixture of cover, vegetation and wildlife habitat. The combination of agricultural food sources, apple trees, oak plantings, evergreen cover, interior openings and natural timber provides an outstanding foundation for continued habitat management.
For those passionate about Quality Deer Management, this property offers the ingredients and infrastructure to build upon an already impressive recreational landscape.
Spring-Fed Water, Rock Outcroppings & Breathtaking Driftless Scenery
Beyond the hunting opportunities, this property possesses an extraordinary natural character that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
A beautiful pond serves as the centerpiece of the cabin setting, creating an unforgettable first impression as you approach the residence. The pond includes a registered small dam and offers a peaceful waterside setting for enjoying the surrounding countryside.
Elsewhere on the property, a spring-fed stream meanders through the landscape, eventually flowing toward the nearby West Branch Pine River. The gentle sound of running water, moss-covered stones, lush streamside vegetation and secluded woodland surroundings contribute to the remarkable atmosphere of this countryside retreat.
As you venture farther into the property, the landscape transforms into the rugged terrain for which Wisconsin’s Ocooch Mountains are celebrated. Towering hardwood-covered ridges rise above the valley floor, while picturesque rock outcroppings and wooded slopes create a dramatic natural backdrop. The changing seasons bring their own beauty, from vibrant spring greenery and summer evenings beside the pond to the brilliant autumn colors that sweep across the hillsides.
It’s the kind of property where simply taking a walk through the woods can become the highlight of your day.
Exceptional Storage, Outbuildings & Gated Access
A recreational property of this caliber deserves the infrastructure to support it, and this estate delivers.
A gated entrance along County Highway DD welcomes you into the property, providing a defined entry to the private retreat. The improvements include a spacious 24 × 48-foot detached garage constructed in 2014, offering substantial room for vehicles, tractors, UTVs, hunting equipment and recreational gear.
Two additional pole buildings measuring approximately 24 × 32 feet and 36 × 56 feet provide even more versatile storage opportunities.
As part of previous maintenance efforts, the pole buildings were reinforced approximately a decade ago with new treated 6 × 6-inch ground posts bolted and secured to the original posts. For the outdoor enthusiast who appreciates having dedicated space for equipment, implements and property-maintenance essentials, these buildings add considerable functionality.
Together with the established trail network, the outbuildings make it easier to maintain and enjoy a property of this size.
A Legacy Property Worth Passing Down
There’s a meaningful difference between owning hunting land and owning a property that has been thoughtfully cared for, improved and enjoyed over time.
From the extensive tree plantings and maintained wildlife openings to the agricultural fields, interior trails, hunting infrastructure and beautifully situated log cabin, this property reflects years of dedication to the land.
It’s a place where opening morning becomes a family tradition. Where children learn to appreciate wildlife, recognize deer sign and understand the importance of responsible land stewardship. Where evenings are spent on the cabin porch watching the sunlight disappear behind the ridges, and where the stories made each hunting season become part of something much larger.
The property offers the rare combination of a charming recreational residence, extensive storage improvements, agricultural production, diverse wildlife habitat, flowing water and dramatic Driftless topography—all across a substantial 95.02-acre setting.
Whether your passion is pursuing mature whitetails, managing habitat, exploring the countryside or simply escaping to a quieter way of life, this estate offers an exceptional canvas for creating memories that last a lifetime.
For those who understand the value of remarkable hunting land, meticulous stewardship and an authentic Wisconsin countryside retreat, opportunities like this are worth pursuing.
