Property Description
Escape to one of Southwest Wisconsin’s most coveted woodland retreats! Located in the rolling hills of Vernon County just outside of Hillsboro, this stunning 40-acre property offers absolute privacy, total seclusion, and a lifestyle immersed in natural beauty. Whether you’re seeking a full-time residence, luxurious hunting cabin, or a peaceful vacation getaway, this enchanting cabin in the woods delivers the ultimate in comfort, tranquility, and outdoor adventure.
Tucked nearly a half-mile off the main road, a gently sloping gravel driveway winds through the trees and leads to a magnificent blufftop setting at 1,220 feet in elevation. As you arrive, you’re greeted by a meticulously landscaped entry, where vibrant flowers, manicured shrubs, and ornamental plantings create a serene oasis in the forest.
The centerpiece of this property is a custom-built 1,880 square-foot cabin-style home that combines rustic charm with modern comfort. This thoughtfully designed 1-bed, 1.5-bath residence features an additional loft for guest accommodations. Timber beams, rich wood accents, and cozy textures give the home a warm, lodge-like feel, while contemporary amenities ensure year-round livability. The oversized primary suite includes a large walk-in closet and direct access to a three-seasons room—perfect for enjoying coffee with sunrise views or afternoon reading in a bug-free haven.
The upper-level living room and kitchen open to a 9×31-foot screened-in porch overlooking the wooded ridgetop, offering a front-row seat to the natural world. Watch deer, turkeys, and songbirds as they pass through the property. In cooler months, enjoy the radiant warmth of the free-standing fireplace; during summer, a wall-mounted A/C system keeps the interior cool and comfortable. A spacious 25×27-foot attached garage connects to a cozy rec room on the main floor, providing ample space for lounging, hobbies, or gear storage.
For animal lovers or those with business ambitions, the property once operated as a successful dog kennel. A 32×40-foot pole building with a dedicated climate-controlled kennel space with heat, A/C, electric, water, and a walk-out fenced area. It even has a built-in dog wash station. An additional 12×16-foot kennel near the house provides extra boarding capability—ideal for pet lovers, breeders, or trainers.
The land itself is a private recreational paradise. Set atop a heavily wooded ridge with three distinct knobs and a deep central valley, this tract offers ideal top-access hunting with a developed trail network and strategically placed elevated blinds. Mature oak, hickory, and maple dominate the landscape, which is enrolled in MFL-Closed for reduced taxes, with a scheduled timber harvest in 2028. The area is renowned for trophy-class whitetails, with Boone & Crockett caliber bucks regularly taken in the neighborhood.
With current taxes at $3,619 annually, this property offers both enjoyment and value. Rarely do properties of this caliber become available—especially those that blend turnkey living, supreme privacy, and significant recreational potential. This is more than just a cabin in the woods—it’s a lifestyle, a sanctuary, and a legacy to be passed down.
