Hunting Land and Farms: Wisconsin: Richland County

Drive north from Richland Center on Highway 80 and you’ll be treated to some of the most striking scenery in Southwest Wisconsin. Over centuries, the Pine River has carved its way south, revealing dramatic limestone formations and a fresh surprise around every bend. What you may not notice at 55 mph, however, is Gerber Lane—a quiet country road leading to this charming creekside property. 

Just off the beaten path, this diverse parcel offers a small valley stream, ridgetop views, hardwoods, evergreens, a seasonal waterfall, and the signature rock outcroppings that define the setting. With more than 59 acres, there is plenty to explore. Wooded valleys and finger ridges make up about 38 acres, gradually opening into a 19+/- acre ridgetop field filled with tall grass and scattered wildflowers. Along the southeast edge, majestic white oaks lend the area an oak-savanna vibe. Overlooking this panorama is a 12’ x 16’ log cabin with a metal roof. Though simple and without amenities, the front porch is an ideal place to settle in for a sunrise or sunset. For hunters who appreciate comfort, the insulated structure could also serve as an excellent deer blind during cold November days.

The home and outbuildings sit in the valley along a dead-end road, creating a private and peaceful setting. The recently remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features hard-surface countertops, hickory cabinets, flooring, and trim. A kitchen island with seating and an adjoining dining room provide ample space for gathering. The living room offers generous windows, a cathedral ceiling, and a wood-burning fireplace. Three comfortable main-floor bedrooms are located near a spacious bathroom with a jetted tub and walk-in tile shower. The laundry room, complete with a laundry tub and exterior door, is also conveniently located on the main floor. Just off the dining area, a wraparound deck is perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying a cup of coffee surrounded by nature.

The walkout lower level includes a 2-car tuck-under garage, a ¾ bath, and an office or non-conforming bedroom. Behind the scenes, a wood-burning stove, Culligan water filtration system, and multiple storage rooms add comfort, utility, and flexible space.

Nearby, a 32’ x 64’ insulated shop provides excellent functionality. Two overhead doors offer convenient access, while a wood stove adds warmth during colder months. Two enclosed areas at one end could be adapted for office space, storage, a paint booth, or other uses. This versatile building offers a wide range of possibilities for personal or business needs.

A small chicken coop and a nostalgic red barn complete the collection of buildings. Whether used for livestock, storage, or simply as a reminder of a simpler time, the retired dairy barn is ready for its next chapter.

This property is easy to find but hard to leave. Schedule your showing today and experience the setting for yourself.
