Farm for Sale in Richland County, WI

Youre looking at a beautiful farmstead in the hills of Richland County, minutes from town. This 108.43 +/- acres features artesian water, mature oaks, ridge-top views, trout stream fishing, open meadows, a good old barn, room for horses and goats and chickens and trophy hunting, a 3 bedroom house, and two spectacular building sites.

Starting from the south end, the first thing youll see is a bubbling artesian well. From there the ridge road goes a mile to the cedar and oak meadow on top, and a spectacular building site. The hillside pasture can be cropped, but its best as pasture or hay. Today, horses and chickens share the pasture with deer and turkey.

The three bedroom farm house is 1/4 of a mile north, at the corner of Lingel and Z, nestled into the hill, with a 2-car garage, a 3050 machine shed, a 3672 stable, a 3050 barn, a 1620 barn, a 3640 barn, a 1224 chicken coop, and smaller...

The second artesian well is for the house. A ram water pump, electricity-free, pushes the artesian water to the main dairy barn.

The house has 3 bedrooms, one bath, newer septic. Its very well insulated and uses about $500 of LP gas to heat. A dining room wood stove cuts the heating bill to about zero. A little TLC will make the home as cozy as you want, or, build your dream home, and use the farmhouse for rental income or for a farm caretaker.

Above the house are stunning sandstone cliffs. It is easy to imagine a building site among the mature oaks and maples. There is an open glade, free of large trees, with easy access from Lingel Lane, for a trophy home to go with the trophy deer.

The woods above the house run for almost half of a mile. One of the maple trees is 12 in circumference. Several oaks are almost as big. Deer love the area above the cliff, and they often bed in the oak glens and hickory fingers. The hillside along the east of the woods can be cropped, but, like the hillsides to the south, it is best to leave them as meadow, pasture, or hay.

The barn functions today for a herd of dairy goats, and it could be used for a variety of livestock or storage. Today you can see about 130 goats and kids running in and out. Bucks and wethers spend summers grazing the north 40, while the nannies and kids enjoy the lush grass and clover of the 15 acres next to the barn, next to the trout stream known as the East Branch of the Mill Creek. Dont let the size fool you- there are 14-18 fish in the holes and hiding among the reeds. Walking the banks after each rain event can lead you to amazing finds.

Consider this property an ideal recreational hobby farm in southwest Wisconsin. The current taxes are $4,391. For more info, please contact Southwest Wisconsin Land Specialist Joe Nawrot at 608.381.1627
