Hunting Land and Farms: Wisconsin: Crawford County

Ensconced in the heart of the Crawford County apple country, just minutes from Gays Mills, this getaway/ hunting property awaits. The current owners have made memories on this parcel for nearly 3 decades, but life changes dictate that they relinquish it to its next stewards.

The 161+/- acre property is accessed via a lightly traveled town road, offering convenience yet notable privacy. As the public road descends into a valley, the driveway takes a slightly upward trajectory as it makes its way to the cabin area on the ridgetop. 

The 650+/- square foot log cabin is simple yet practical and becomes a welcome retreat at the end of a day in the field. A wood burning stove creates plenty of heat, while the gas stove is perfect for cooking. If the weather suggests a break from outdoor activities, you can crank up a generator and enjoy watching TV.  With a loft area on both ends of the cabin, there is plenty of sleeping room. A unique outhouse is situated nearby, and a 24’ x 30’ garage with a concrete floor and a small storage shed are ideal for storing equipment.

The L shaped property configuration allows it to feel and hunt larger than the acreage would indicate. With a half dozen main ridges and several additional finger points, stand sites are abundant and accessible without disturbing sanctuary areas. Multiple permanent blinds make this property a turnkey hunting farm. One of the striking features of this parcel is the wide ridges, even within the 137+/- acres of timber area. These ridges support a wide variety of hardwoods, including mast trees to pull in the wildlife. With 2.5+/- miles of trails, top access is assured.

17 +/- acres of tillable land in central locations on the property is great for pulling in wildlife and providing hunting opportunities throughout the season. Several other open areas within the woods could be fine ‘micro plots’. 144.5 +/- acres of the property is enrolled in Managed Forest Law (MFL closed) to help keep taxes lower. Near the cabin 5 acres of open ground is part of the MFL. This area is allowable for food plots or tree/ prairie plantings if you desire.

As a package, this stunning property leaves little to be desired. Set up your showing today.
