When people rave about the beauty of the Driftless Area, this 97+/- acre property is what theyre talking about! Located near world-class trout streams and the fabled Kickapoo River, but with land like this, you will hesitate to leave. When you do, unique dining and shopping can be found 20 minutes away in the eclectic village of Viroqua. The larger river town of La Crosse is just under an hour to the northwest.

42+/- acres is currently ag use and is leased to a local farmer who farms it organically. The sellers feel strongly about being great stewards of the land and this no chemical approach and pollinator plantings has made the property a hub of activity for bees, butterflies, and birds.

Much of the remainder of the property is rolling hardwoods. 47 acres of the parcel is enrolled in Managed Forest Law (closed to public access) to help reduce taxes and aid in forest management. The owners have spent considerable time maintaining these wooded areas, and the hard work has paid off. Established trails give easy access to much of the property via ATV, horses, or hiking. Winter brings cross-country skiing and snowshoeing opportunities. Hunters will appreciate the scattered apple trees, ridgetop access, and open areas to establish food plots. QDM is practiced in the area so the potential to harvest a good buck is certainly there.
