Youll find this farmstead nestled between the towering hills of Prairie du Chien and Fennimore settled south of the Wisconsin River. Woodman, once a bustling community for travel and trade in the late 1800s, was the only town that brought together trade from two different railroads as well as from land and water traffic is now a quiet rural village where outdoor enthusiasts enjoy peace, tranquility and Mother Nature. The area serves itself for outdoor enthusiasts that love to fish the waters of the Wisconsin River and hunt the majestic hills so commonly known for mega-class whitetail. If you have not been to this cherished region of Southwest Wisconsin, youre simply missing out!
This attractive 1-story +/- 1,848sq ft finished estate features 6-beds and 2-baths with a wonderful walk-out backyard deck. Basement is an additional 1,800sq ft making a total of 3,648sq ft. The home was built in 1978 and received an addition around 2009. A new furnace was recently installed in 2016 while a metal roof and siding were added within the past 10-years. The home is equipped with LP as well as an outdoor wood burning stove. Forced air heat during the chilly winters and a central air-cooling unit remedies the summer heat. This would make a spectacular hunting camp for a group of hunters or family!
Youll find an expansive 44ftx120ft pole shed with three sliding doors offering ample storage for vehicles and heavy machinery. Therere multiple farm buildings on the grounds, which includes a barn, utility sheds and silos. Once upon a time, this was an active farmstead.
While some may fall in love with the amazing valley setting and views others will admire the propertys character and layout. While most of the land is covered in timber theres roughly 30+/- acres of agriculture land thats rented out for $4,000+/- annually consisting of 4-unique fields. Hilltop alfalfa fields to cornfield bottoms. The field on the Norwest portion of the estate is grown into natural cover and forage littered in deer beds.
The land offers both top and bottom access with a partial trail system negotiating the rolling terrain of four distinct ridges. A small creek runs along the westerly boundary cascading rocks from a natural spring. With the deer hunter in mind, youll be hard-pressed to find anything as incredible as this let me explain. The property has rarely been hunted over the past 4+/- years offering extremely low hunting pressure. The north and west boundary abuts to over 3,620-acres of the Millville Oak Woods State Natural Area offering more hunting land than youll know what to do with. This area has routinely spun Boone & Crockett class whitetail each and every year. The sheer size of the public land is hard to wrap your head around. The south boundary is met with a private land owner tract thats over 950-acres while the east neighbor owns 200+ acres. The rarity of locating a property that abuts monstrous private landownership with several thousand acres of open hunting land is simply hard to fathom. This is without question one of the main ingredients of why theres so many giant whitetails in this sought-after pocket.
The property received a much needed select timber cut last winter. The forest is exploding with new cover and forage. From a pure hunting perspective, I would rate the property very high. However, theres much room for improvement that can be done with food plots, water holes and more. Consider this property a piece of real estate that is already great, but can absolutely boom with some small internal improvements for those that love to build habitat.
The land is not enrolled into any government programs. The taxes are only $2,484/annually.
Now is the time to take advantage of this utterly spectacular estate. Consider this property a must-see! For more info, please contact Southwest Wisconsin Land Specialist Brandon Wikman at 608.403.6003 or Joe Nawrot at 608.381.1627
