Luxury Vernon County Estate on 141 Acres…
La Farge, WI
Vernon
Vernon
You’ve just found one of those rare Driftless Region properties that stops a buyer in their tracks — a ridge-top Vernon County estate where a custom-built home, certified organic income-producing cropland, trophy whitetail habitat, spring-fed water, panoramic valley views, and a truly exceptional shop all come together in one unforgettable Southwest Wisconsin lifestyle property.
Welcome to S4703 Aumock Road, La Farge, Wisconsin, a remarkable 141.30-acre legacy estate located in the heart of Vernon County, one of the most scenic and sought-after regions in the Wisconsin Driftless Area. This is not just a home with acreage. This is a complete country lifestyle package designed for the buyer who wants privacy, beauty, utility, hunting, recreation, income, and a front-row seat to some of the most awe-inspiring countryside in the Midwest.
Positioned among rolling ridges, deep valleys, mature timber, fertile fields, spring-fed water, and commanding long-range views, this property offers the kind of setting that makes the Driftless Region famous. Every approach to the estate feels intentional. The winding country road, the elevated homesite, the manicured grounds, the sweeping views, and the backdrop of timbered hills all create a sense of arrival that is hard to replicate. Whether you are searching for a permanent residence, luxury hunting retreat, recreational getaway, organic farm investment, or multi-generational legacy property, this estate checks the boxes in a way very few properties can.
At the center of the property is a custom-built home constructed in 2012, offering 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and office space. The home was built with quality, comfort, and timeless rural living in mind. Inside, you’ll find 10-foot ceilings, 6-panel cherry doors and trim, Pella Architect Series wood windows, lighted tray ceilings, granite countertops, 42-inch Merillat maple kitchen cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, Electrolux appliances, a newer GE microwave, and a Beam central vacuum system with a convenient kitchen dustpan. The kitchen is warm, functional, and beautifully appointed with rich cabinetry, a center island with prep sink, granite surfaces, and tremendous natural light pouring through oversized windows that frame the surrounding ridges and valley floor.
The great room is anchored by a Kozy Heat Z-42 wood-burning fireplace, creating a natural gathering place after a morning hunt, a day on the land, or an evening spent entertaining family and friends. Large windows bring the outside in, giving the home a constant connection to the hills, fields, and timber that surround it. From the dining area to the living room, from the kitchen to the rear deck, the home was built to showcase the views — and the views are nothing short of spectacular.
The main-level owner’s suite offers a comfortable retreat with a spacious bedroom, large walk-in closet, and private bath featuring a double-sink vanity and quality finishes. Additional bedrooms provide plenty of room for family, guests, hunting partners, or weekend visitors. The dedicated office creates an ideal work-from-home space, giving you the ability to handle business while living in one of the most peaceful settings in Southwest Wisconsin.
The finished walkout lower level expands the living space in a big way. Huge recreation room, wet bar, refrigerator, media area, Heatilator wood-burning stove, additional sleeping quarters, and direct walkout access to the lower patio, this level is built for entertaining. It’s the kind of space where fall football, card games, hunting stories, and family gatherings feel right at home. Step outside to the patio and hot tub area, and you’re immediately surrounded by million-dollar Driftless views, rolling terrain, and quiet country air.
Outdoor living is a major highlight. The home features a covered front porch, a rear composite deck with aluminum railing, and a lower walkout patio that extends the living experience into the landscape. Morning coffee, sunset dinners, campfire nights, and peaceful evenings overlooking the valley all become part of the daily rhythm here. Add in the fire pit, garden area, mature landscaping, apple trees, and open lawn space, and the property becomes as inviting outside as it is inside.
The land itself is the real showpiece. Of the 141.30 total acres, approximately 41 acres are Certified Organic cropland, currently in year two of a five-year written lease generating $5,125 in annual income. The current farmer takes great pride in the land, and the quality of the crops is evident. Corn and alfalfa are currently planted, providing both income and visual beauty while also complementing the property’s wildlife value. For buyers seeking a Southwest Wisconsin property with income-producing land, organic cropland, recreational appeal, and strong long-term ownership value, this is an outstanding combination.
Beyond the cropland, the property transitions into a breathtaking mix of ridges, draws, hardwood timber, brushy bedding cover, field edges, creek bottom, apple trees, and natural wildlife corridors. This is classic Vernon County hunting ground — the kind of terrain serious deer hunters recognize immediately. The property offers funnels, pinch points, bedding knobs, field-edge movement, secluded pockets, and natural travel routes that create excellent opportunities for trophy whitetail hunting. With food plot potential, two apple orchard areas, thick sanctuary cover, and three fully custom box blinds, this estate is already set up for serious hunting enjoyment.
The box blinds are not afterthoughts. They are substantial, well-positioned, custom-built hunting structures that have to be seen to be fully appreciated. From elevated views to strategic field and timber setups, these blinds create comfortable, effective hunting locations for deer and turkey. This is the kind of property where Quality Deer Management can be practiced with intention, where family hunting traditions can be built, and where the next owner can create a true Southwest Wisconsin hunting legacy.
Wildlife is abundant. The land supports whitetail deer, turkey, small game, and excellent morel mushroom hunting. The property’s diverse habitat — cropland, timber, apple trees, brush, water, and secluded pockets — gives wildlife everything it needs. A spring-fed creek flows through the property and eventually leads toward the Kickapoo River, adding another layer of natural beauty, wildlife attraction, and recreational appeal. Water is one of those priceless land features, and this creek only strengthens the overall character of the estate.
For recreation, the property goes far beyond hunting. There is a 130-yard shooting range, a 130-yard golf chipping challenge from the shed, open areas for gardening and gatherings, trails and access routes, and endless space to explore by UTV, hike, scout, shed hunt, or simply enjoy the peace and privacy of the Driftless countryside. This is a place where you can live, work, hunt, entertain, and unwind without ever feeling like you need to leave.
The outbuilding is another major standout. The property includes a 30x60’ stick-built shed with a large 8x60’ covered overhang that protects stacked, dried firewood and provides excellent covered storage. This is not a typical pole building. It is a high-quality 2x6” stick-built structure with R-19 insulation, concrete floor, heated insulated shop area, cold storage, water hydrant, and impressive 4-foot and 6-foot concrete frost walls. Whether you need space for tractors, implements, UTVs, snowmobiles, hunting gear, tools, equipment, woodworking, mechanical projects, or year-round shop use, this building is a serious asset.
The home and property are supported by practical country infrastructure, including a drilled well, septic system, three convenient water hydrants, tankless water heater, air exchange system, central vacuum system, attached 3-car garage, and excellent storage throughout. The attached garage provides everyday convenience, while the detached shop offers the extra capacity every landowner, hunter, hobby farmer, and recreational buyer wants.
Location is another strength. Set in rural La Farge, Wisconsin, the property places you in the heart of Vernon County and the Driftless Region, close to the Kickapoo Valley, trout streams, public recreation, small-town amenities, farm markets, local food culture, and some of the most scenic country roads in the state. This area is known for its ridges, coulees, organic farms, hunting land, recreational properties, and peaceful rural lifestyle. Buyers searching for Vernon County homes for sale, La Farge WI real estate, Southwest Wisconsin hunting land, Driftless Region recreational property, organic farmland for sale in Wisconsin, country homes with acreage, or luxury rural estates in Wisconsin will recognize just how special this offering is.
What makes this estate so powerful is the balance. It is polished but practical. Private but accessible. Recreational but income-producing. Comfortable but capable. It offers a custom home for everyday living, acreage for hunting and farming, a shop for work and storage, water for wildlife, views for the soul, and enough room to create memories for generations.
This is the type of property that speaks to a very specific buyer — someone who understands land, values privacy, appreciates craftsmanship, wants a true Driftless escape, and recognizes the difference between ordinary acreage and a complete lifestyle estate.
S4703 Aumock Road is more than a home. It is a Vernon County sanctuary, a Southwest Wisconsin hunting retreat, a certified organic income-producing farm, and a once-in-a-generation Driftless Region legacy property.

77.85+/- Acre Professionally Designed Whitetail Hunting Property…
Hillsboro, WI
Vernon
Vernon
You’ve just found the kind of Vernon County hunting property that serious whitetail hunters spend years trying to create — a 77.85+/- acre ridge-top masterpiece near Hillsboro, Wisconsin, where every acre, every edge, every screen, every food plot, every water source and every stand location has been shaped with one purpose in mind: building, holding and hunting mature Driftless Region whitetails.
This is not simply vacant hunting land. This is a highly improved, professionally designed whitetail habitat system in one of Wisconsin’s most respected deer counties — a turnkey recreational property where the heavy lifting has already been done, the access has been thought through, the habitat layers are in place and the future is only getting better.
Located off Pine Avenue in Hillsboro, Vernon County, Wisconsin, this 77.85+/- acre tract sits in the heart of Southwest Wisconsin’s legendary Driftless Area, a region known for its rugged ridges, deep-cut valleys, hidden bowls, hardwood timber, secluded bedding cover and world-class whitetail genetics. Vernon County has long carried a reputation among serious deer hunters as some of the richest deer dirt in Wisconsin, and this property takes that natural advantage and elevates it with a strategic habitat plan that is already years ahead of most properties on the market.
From the aerial view, you immediately see the story unfold. A private drive carries you into the property through a bottomland corridor, crossing near the winding Pine River drainage before climbing toward a secluded ridge-top hunting system that has been carved, planted and layered into a true whitetail sanctuary. The land rises from lower ground into a commanding ridge complex, offering elevation changes, natural funnels, saddles, bedding knobs, pinch points, benches and field-edge transitions that create the exact type of terrain serious hunters dream about.
The centerpiece of the property is roughly 20 acres of ridge-top habitat that has been intentionally designed with screening cover, hidden food plots, structured movement corridors and destination feeding areas. This is where the property separates itself from ordinary hunting land. Instead of open fields and random stand locations, this ridge has been built with purpose. Head-high switchgrass plantings create powerful visual barriers and covert access routes, allowing hunters to move to and from stand locations with a level of concealment rarely found on properties of this size.
That matters. A lot.
The ability to enter, hunt and exit without blowing deer off the property is one of the most overlooked details in recreational land ownership, and this tract has been designed around that principle from the beginning. Switchgrass corridors help guide movement, hide access and create the kind of layered habitat that makes mature bucks feel secure during daylight. The food plots are not simply planted for attraction; they are tucked, screened, shaped and positioned to work with the wind, terrain and bedding cover.
Currently, there are approximately 4 acres of established food plots consisting of soybeans, clover and fall plantings. These plots provide year-round nutritional value and late-season attraction while working in concert with the surrounding cover. The layout includes multiple food plot pockets, edge systems and open feeding zones that create bowhunting and gun hunting opportunities across a variety of wind directions. Whether you are targeting early-season velvet patterns, October cold fronts, rut cruising activity or late-season food source movement, this farm gives you options.
The hunting infrastructure is already in place with three box blinds and additional ladder stand setups positioned throughout the property. These setups overlook strategic food sources, travel corridors and high-value transition areas, giving the next owner a ready-to-hunt system from day one. The existing trail camera history and harvested buck photos speak loudly to the quality of deer using this ground, with mature bucks, impressive antler development and consistent whitetail activity proving that this property is not theoretical — it is already producing.
Hundreds of trees and shrubs have been planted across the property to create long-term food, cover, browse, thermal protection and diversity. Plantings include pines, white oak, maple, swamp white oak, highbush cranberry, red osier dogwood, persimmon, chestnut, hybrid poplar, willow, yellow twig dogwood, apple tree groupings, cedars and Norway spruce, along with additional wildlife-focused plantings throughout the ridge and lower habitat zones. This kind of investment is expensive, time-consuming and difficult to replicate, but it pays dividends for decades.
For the whitetail hunter, these plantings mean future mast, browse, bedding structure, wind protection, screening cover and increased holding power. For the land steward, they represent a forward-thinking habitat improvement plan that will continue to mature, thicken and improve year after year. The combination of hardwood timber, switchgrass, food plots, shrub corridors, conifer cover, water sources and rugged terrain creates a property that does more than attract deer — it gives them reasons to live there.
The property also features two wildlife water holes, a critical component in any high-level whitetail management plan. Water holes positioned within secure cover can become powerful daylight movement anchors, especially during warm early-season sits, dry fall periods and rut-related cruising activity. When paired with food, bedding, security cover and limited-pressure access, these water sources add another layer of control and predictability to the hunting system.
This is the difference between land that simply has deer and land that is built to hunt deer intelligently.
The terrain itself is pure Driftless Region character — rolling ridge tops, hardwood timber edges, secluded valleys, steep contour breaks and sweeping views across one of Wisconsin’s most beautiful rural landscapes. The contour maps show a dramatic elevation profile, with the property sitting in a pocket of ridges and valleys that naturally funnel deer movement. These elevation changes create travel routes that mature bucks use year after year, especially when moving between bedding cover, food, water and neighboring timber systems.
The surrounding neighborhood appears to be a powerful asset as well. Large blocks of timber, agricultural fields, creek bottoms and limited-pressure cover surround the property, creating a broader landscape capable of supporting high-quality whitetails. This tract sits as a managed, improved hub within that larger deer habitat system. In other words, you are not just buying 77.85 acres — you are buying into a proven Vernon County deer neighborhood with the infrastructure already built to capitalize on it.
The property is enrolled in MFL Closed as of 2025, offering potential tax advantages while keeping public access restricted under the closed designation. For buyers looking for a managed timber and hunting property in Wisconsin, this adds another layer of long-term land stewardship and ownership strategy.
Beyond the hunting, this is a beautiful recreational property for anyone who appreciates Southwest Wisconsin land. The Pine Avenue location near Hillsboro places you in a region known for outdoor recreation, scenic drives, trout streams, public land, kayaking, hiking, camping and small-town Wisconsin charm. Hillsboro, La Farge, Ontario, Viroqua, Elroy, Kendall and the surrounding Kickapoo Valley area are all part of the broader lifestyle appeal. This is the kind of property where you can hunt hard in November, scout sheds in March, plant food plots in spring, run cameras through summer and watch the entire farm come alive again each fall.
This 77.85+/- acre Vernon County tract has the critical ingredients: ridgetop food, secure bedding, switchgrass screening, water, hardwood timber, mast-producing plantings, thick cover, private access, proven deer history, established blinds and a serious Quality Deer Management mindset. It is rare to find a property where the structure, improvements and wildlife plan are this far along, especially in one of Wisconsin’s most recognized whitetail regions.
If you are searching for hunting land for sale in Vernon County, WI, Southwest Wisconsin recreational land, Driftless Region hunting property, Wisconsin whitetail property, land near Hillsboro, Wisconsin, or a turnkey trophy deer hunting tract, this Pine Avenue property deserves your full attention.
This is not just a place to hang a stand. This is a purpose-built deer hunting property with the bones, the cover, the food, the water, the access and the history to become a true legacy farm.

Scenic Country Home & Trophy Whitetail Retreat…
La Farge, WI
Vernon
Vernon
You’ve just found the kind of Southwest Wisconsin country estate that people dream about but rarely get the chance to own—an awe-inspiring 21.78-acre Driftless Region escape tucked into the rolling ridges, spring-fed valleys, hardwood hillsides, and wildlife-rich terrain of Vernon County, just minutes from Wildcat Mountain State Park and the legendary Kickapoo Valley Reserve.
This is more than a country home with acreage. This is a lifestyle property. A private ridge-and-valley sanctuary. A turnkey hunting retreat. A peaceful full-time residence or weekend getaway where the road quiets down, the stars burn a little brighter, and every morning begins with sweeping views across one of Wisconsin’s most sought-after recreational landscapes.
A scenic gravel driveway leads you across a spring-fed creek and winds gently up the hillside to a tastefully remodeled raised ranch home, originally built in 1996 and thoughtfully updated throughout. Set against a backdrop of cascading hills, wooded ridges, open pockets, and lush valley cover, the home offers 1,778 square feet of warm, comfortable living space with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a walk-out basement, and an oversized wrap-around deck designed to capture the very best of the property’s views.
Inside, the home feels inviting, functional, and move-in ready. The open-concept layout creates a natural flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas, making it ideal for everyday living, entertaining guests, or unwinding after a long day in the woods. Large windows and patio doors frame the surrounding hillsides and valley floor, bringing the outdoors into nearly every major living space. Updated flooring, refreshed paint, modern fixtures, and thoughtful improvements throughout give the home a clean, comfortable feel without losing the simplicity and warmth of a true Wisconsin country residence.
The main living area features a cozy fireplace, direct deck access, and beautiful natural light, creating the perfect gathering space during every season. The kitchen offers practical cabinetry, generous counter space, and views over the surrounding countryside, while the oversized deck becomes an extension of the home itself—a place for morning coffee, evening sunsets, grilling with family, watching deer filter through the valley, or simply soaking in the peace that only this part of Wisconsin can deliver.
The primary suite is generously sized and offers enough room for a private sitting area or home office, making this property especially appealing for those seeking a remote-work lifestyle without sacrificing access to nature. High-speed internet adds modern convenience in a setting that feels wonderfully removed from the noise of town. The suite also features a walk-in closet and private bathroom, while the second bedroom and additional bathroom provide comfortable accommodations for family, guests, or weekend hunting partners.
The walk-out lower level adds tremendous flexibility. The basement has been improved and finished with a rustic, creative touch, offering usable space for hobbies, recreation, storage, studio use, gear organization, or future expansion. It includes an air exchanger and is already plumbed for an additional bathroom, creating a strong value-add opportunity for the next owner. Whether you envision a hunting camp headquarters, family recreation room, workout area, art studio, or additional living space, the foundation is already in place.
Outside, the improvements continue with a newly constructed 24’x32’ detached garage featuring concrete flooring and electric service. This is a major asset for anyone needing space for vehicles, ATVs, UTVs, hunting equipment, tools, tractors, lawn care gear, or workshop use. The property’s gravel drive, manicured yard, elevated homesite, and practical building setup make the entire property easy to use and enjoy from day one.
But the real magic of this estate is the land.
The 21.78 acres offer a remarkable blend of habitat, topography, water, cover, and access. Rolling hills transition into wooded ridges, open pockets, brushy bedding areas, spring-fed water sources, wild apple trees, established food plot areas, and mature timber consisting of oak, maple, pine, and mixed hardwoods. This is the kind of property that hunts far bigger than its acreage because of the way it lays. The ridges, draws, funnels, saddles, and valley-bottom cover naturally influence deer movement, creating an exceptional setup for serious whitetail hunters.
This is rich deer dirt that hasn’t been hunted in a year.
The property has a proven history of mature buck activity, supported by extensive trail camera documentation and strategic stand locations already in place. Surrounding large private tracts, limited hunting pressure, strong neighborhood habitat, and a focus on Quality Deer Management help make this area a consistent producer of trophy-class Vernon County whitetails. The combination of food, water, bedding cover, security, and terrain diversity gives this property the ingredients every serious land buyer looks for but rarely finds in one compact, manageable tract.
For the hunter, this is a turnkey setup. Food plots are ready to be sprayed and planted. Access is practical. The terrain creates natural pinch points and travel corridors. The mix of hardwood ridges, thick cover, creek-bottom influence, and open feeding pockets gives you a complete hunting system in a highly desirable region of Southwest Wisconsin.
For the outdoor enthusiast, the property is equally impressive. The spring-fed creek adds life, sound, and beauty to the landscape, while the surrounding hillsides create a private natural amphitheater that feels worlds away from the busyness of everyday life. Whether you enjoy hiking, wildlife photography, shed hunting, birdwatching, gardening, trail riding, or simply owning a private piece of the Driftless Region, this property delivers a deep sense of place.
Location only strengthens the offering.
Situated near Wildcat Mountain State Park, this estate sits in the heart of one of Wisconsin’s most scenic and recreationally rich regions. Wildcat Mountain State Park offers thousands of acres of public outdoor adventure, including hiking, horseback riding, fishing, canoeing, camping, and incredible views over the Kickapoo River Valley. Nearby, the Kickapoo Valley Reserve spans more than 8,500 acres and offers over 50 miles of trails, dramatic sandstone formations, river access, wildlife habitat, and year-round recreation that draws visitors from across the Midwest.
You are also positioned within reach of multiple local school districts, including Hillsboro, La Farge, and Kickapoo, with bus routes conveniently available at the top of the ridge. That combination of privacy, recreation, and everyday practicality makes this property suitable for a full-time residence, seasonal retreat, family getaway, hunting headquarters, or legacy land holding.
The property is not enrolled in any government land programs, and commercial timbering is not permitted, helping preserve the long-term beauty, privacy, and recreational character of the estate. Annual taxes are approximately $3,465, offering a reasonable carrying cost for a property with this level of home, land, setting, and location.
This is the kind of place that checks the boxes that truly matter: a well-kept country home, a functional shop, spring-fed water, mature timber, food plots, proven deer history, high-speed internet, privacy, views, and proximity to some of the best outdoor recreation in the Driftless Region.
Whether you are searching for a Southwest Wisconsin hunting property, a Vernon County country home with acreage, a Driftless Region recreational retreat, a home near Wildcat Mountain State Park, or a private escape near the Kickapoo Valley Reserve, this property deserves your attention.
Properties like this are not created often. They are found, held, enjoyed, and passed on.

Legacy Farm & Country Estate in Hillsboro,…
Hillsboro, WI
Vernon
Vernon
You’re staring at a true Driftless masterpiece—a once-in-a-generation estate where cascading bluffs, deep sweeping valleys, and priceless views collide with a breathtaking updated farmhouse and 169+/- acres of absolute paradise in the hills of Hillsboro, Wisconsin. This is the kind of southwest Wisconsin farm for sale that stops you in your tracks—the kind you don’t just buy, you hold onto for life.
If you’ve been searching for hunting land for sale, agriculture land for sale, or a country home for sale that delivers both lifestyle and legacy, you’ve just found it. Tucked into the rolling terrain of Vernon County, this property offers the peaceful grace of country living wrapped in a setting that feels almost too beautiful to be real. Mornings begin with the sun rising over ridge tops kissed in dew, while evenings settle quietly into golden horizons stretching across your very own valley.
At the heart of the property lies a beautiful brick farmhouse that blends timeless character with modern comfort. Step inside and you’ll feel it immediately—custom Amish-crafted hickory cabinetry and the warmth of Birdseye maple and hickory wood floors beneath your feet. The kitchen stands as a showpiece with granite countertops, whisper-glide cabinetry, pull-out shelving, a built-in spice rack, and even a new kitchen faucet that adds a subtle finishing touch to an already refined space. This home doesn’t just function—it tells a story of craftsmanship, pride, and rural heritage brought back to life.
The residence offers five bedrooms and three bathrooms (Septic rating is 4-bedroom) including a well-appointed master suite, making it ideal for families, guests, or hosting during the holidays and hunting season. Thoughtfully upgraded, including new plumbing in 2012, a well installed in 2013, a newer furnace, upgraded 1,000-gallon LP tank, and a full suite of newer appliances. Energy efficiency is front and center with solar panels powered by dual Tesla batteries, giving you modern independence in a timeless setting. An attached two-car garage with floor drain and loft space adds functionality, the 15x30’ bonus room area above the garage is unfinished and can be used for storage or finish it off in the future if your desire. Complete with 200-amp service, insulation, and quality windows.
Step outside and the farmstead unfolds like something out of a storybook. There’s a two-stall steel shed and a 30’x50’ steel barn that truly steals the show—complete with concrete floors and spray foam insulation for year-round comfort. Massive 10-foot overhangs provide protection and versatility, while the upper level has been transformed into gathering space, and the kind of atmosphere that builds lifelong memories during deer season and beyond.
From a land perspective, this is elite. Approximately 110± acres of timber create a sanctuary for wildlife, paired with 30± acres of tillable ground and the balance in fenced pasture for grazing. Two established orchards featuring apple, pear, and peach trees add both beauty and function, while a meandering stream flows through the property, offering a year-round water source and even trout fishing opportunities. Scattered natural springs—several year-round natural springs—further enhance the land’s vitality for cattle.
For the serious outdoorsman, this is amazing hunting land for sale. The property has a proven history of producing trophy whitetails, with extensive habitat work already completed including hinge cutting, established food plots, and strategic bedding areas. Deer sign is everywhere—mud-worn trails, heavy rub lines, and cratered scrapes along field edges. This is textbook Driftless deer country, with ridge systems, saddles, and funnels that naturally guide movement. On more than one occasion, mature bucks have been seen locked up near the pond just behind the buildings—a testament to the property’s ability to consistently hold and grow big deer.
An established trail system winds throughout the farm, providing seamless access for hunting, recreation, or simply exploring your land. The topography is nothing short of breathtaking—rock outcroppings, jutting ridge points, and dramatic elevation changes create both visual appeal and functional habitat diversity.
The property is enrolled in Managed Forest Land (Closed), offering tax benefits with NO further required timber cuts, and annual taxes are approximately $5,333
This is more than just a farm for sale in southwest Wisconsin—it’s a legacy property, a private sanctuary, and a rare opportunity to own one of the most complete country estates in Vernon County. Properties of this caliber, combining a fully renovated home, income potential, recreational excellence, and unmatched beauty, simply do not come around often.
This is your chance to step into something extraordinary. Once-in-a-generation opportunity.
