Legacy Blufftop Hunting Retreat Near the Mississippi River | 128 Acres in Crawford County, WI

You’re looking at a stretch of Driftless Wisconsin that flat-out stirs the soul—the kind of ground that makes you slow down at the gate, take a deep breath, and realize you’ve just found something special. This 128+/- acre recreational sanctuary in Crawford County sits just minutes from the mighty Mississippi River, tucked into a landscape of cascading bluffs, deep sweeping valleys, and timbered ridgelines that define the very best of southwest Wisconsin.

Set just outside the quiet community of Eastman, this fully wooded tract lies in the epicenter of some of the most scenic bluff country the region has to offer. It’s a place built for outdoor enthusiasts who live for fall mornings in a treestand, spring gobbles echoing through hardwoods, and summer evenings spent chasing walleyes and smallmouth on the Mississippi backwaters. This is not just land—it’s a lifestyle.

Access is dialed in. The property enjoys two established easements off Oak Grove Ridge Road, one from the west and another from the east, allowing you to approach the heart of the property with intention and strategy. A well-defined farm road carries you nearly a half-mile into the timber, climbing high along a commanding ridgetop where an older rustic hunting cabin waits quietly among the trees. The cabin is equipped with electric service and even fiber optic internet—an uncommon and valuable feature for a remote woodland retreat. Whether you envision this as a turnkey hunting camp, a weekend basecamp, or a temporary headquarters while you design and build your dream blufftop getaway, the bones are here and the setting is exceptional.

Step out the cabin door and you’re immediately immersed in a world of opportunity. The property’s coveted top-access layout allows you to hunt smarter—slipping into stands with minimal disturbance, keeping thermals and prevailing winds in your favor, and preserving the sanctuary feel that mature whitetails demand. Several custom-built box blinds are already in place, positioned over proven deer corridors that have been quietly producing for years. These stands overlook natural movement routes that don’t need gimmicks—just patience and good timing.

The land itself is classic Driftless magic. Four dominant ridge systems roll outward into a maze of timbered fingers, side-hill benches, and subtle saddles that funnel wildlife with surgical precision. These aren’t random crossings—they’re generational travel routes etched into the hillsides over decades of use. Deer trails carve through the ridges like cattle paths, converging in predictable pinch points that set up beautifully for early-season patterns, peak-rut cruising, and late-season food pushes. This is a property that hunts well in every phase, year after year.

The surrounding neighborhood only sweetens the deal. The estate borders large, privately owned tracts and sits near neighboring row-crop fields that act as destination food sources, pulling deer through this property daily. Inside the boundaries, the timber stands tall with a strong mix of mature hardwoods accented by pockets of pine. The forest floor is blanketed in high-quality understory—thick, diverse, and loaded with security cover for both whitetail deer and wild turkeys. For those who enjoy habitat work and food plot development, there are multiple tucked-away openings and bench systems ideal for carving out secluded honey holes without sacrificing cover.

And then there’s the Mississippi River—just minutes away. This proximity opens the door to world-class fishing, waterfowl hunting, boating, and endless recreational opportunity. Spend your mornings in the timber and your afternoons on the river. Chase trophy bucks in November and chase bronze-backed smallmouth all summer long. Few properties offer this level of diversity without compromise.

This isn’t just another hunting parcel. It’s a legacy property. A sanctuary. A virgin tract of Driftless bluff country that checks the boxes serious buyers wait years to find—size, access, topography, timber quality, neighborhood, and proximity to the Mississippi River. The kind of land that gets passed down, not flipped. The kind of place where Boone & Crockett class whitetails don’t just pass through—they live.

Once-in-a-generation opportunities like this don’t come around often in Crawford County. If you’ve been searching for a true recreational retreat with elite hunting, unmatched scenery, and a lifestyle rooted in the outdoors, you already know how rare this is. Property is enrolled in MFL-Closed. Taxes are $4,117/annually.
