Hunting Land and Farms: Wisconsin: Richland County

Here is a rare opportunity to own your own estate at the end of a dead-end road, with a view of true Driftless Area beauty in each direction. Richland County ranks high as a recreational destination and this property leaves little to be desired.
 
The diversity of this 196.5+/- acre parcel is sure to satisfy your wanderlust. 106 +/- acres of timberland (41 acres enrolled in Managed Forest Law) blanket multiple ridge tops and sidehills. Finger points provide great whitetail bedding areas and the mix of open areas and heavier understory, create the desirable edge cover that whitetails love. This wooded land is comprised of an excellent mix of hardwoods for a variety of uses. Hunters will appreciate the hickory, red oak and white oak, while those that dream of producing their own maple syrup will find no lack of trees to tap. In the fall, this mix of species provides breathtaking vistas as the turning leaves explode in color. ATV trails throughout the property give convenient access to the ridgetops and valleys.
 
65.5+/- acres of nicely laying ridgetop fields are currently leased to a local farmer, providing yearly income as well as wildlife food. Other open areas in the valley, along with the historic fields near the farmstead add another 15+/- acres of open ground. These would be ideal for wildlife food plots or increasing the tillable acreage. Several modest open areas tucked into the wood edges would make perfect micro plots for whitetails and turkeys.  The headwaters of Dieter Hollow Creek form nearby and this intermittent waterway adds beauty as it winds through the central valley.
 
While the location and land make this a special place, the farmstead certainly adds to the appeal. The red dairy barn and granary are in remarkable repair and add a historic feel to the property. Additionally, a 36’x48’ pole building with doors on each end offers convenient storage.  Set apart from the main homestead, another classic barn and a second 40’ x75’ pole building provide more great storage space. 
 
Last but certainly not least, the foursquare farmhouse is truly the jewel of the property. While it retains the classic charm of antique panel doors, millwork, doorknobs, wood floors and beadboard ceilings, it features many modern updates. These include insulated windows, updated fixtures, newer kitchen with solid service countertops, updated electric, newer HVAC, roof and siding. It is simply a comfortable blend of antique and modern.
 
The main floor features the primary living area.  A large galley style kitchen includes a sit up bar and faces the living room, inviting easy conversation with the chef. The living room and sunroom flow together offering 2 sitting areas. A glance from the large sunroom windows will be met with a view that causes you to linger for more. Sharing this view is an enclosed front porch that is useable year-round. A spacious dining room is perfect for an intimate dinner for two or a large dinner party. Nearby, a 3/4 bath offers convenience while on the main floor. Rounding out the first floor, a back entry area is shared with the laundry which includes a laundry sink for easy cleanup.
 
The modern farmhouse vibe continues upstairs where you will find a large bathroom and 2 generous bedrooms, one with a walk-in closet. As with the lower level, the view from every window upstairs offers Driftless Area beauty.
