Description

Private Stevens Lake Access • Trophy Whitetail & Bear • Multiple Access Points • Build Sites

United Country Midwest Lifestyle Properties and United Country Hunting Properties are proud to present this exceptional 74± acre recreational property located near Melrose, in one of western Wisconsin’s most desirable land corridors.

This property represents the type of offering that experienced land buyers actively wait for — a tract that combines exclusive water access, diverse terrain, proven big-game history, and multiple access locations into a single, highly functional tract..

Exclusive Water Access – A Rare Competitive Advantage

A defining feature of this property is its private access to Stevens Lake, a secluded backwater tributary connected to the Black River system. This controlled-access water feature adds substantial recreational, aesthetic, and wildlife value.

The backwater environment provides:

● Fishing opportunities for panfish and other warm-water species

● Kayaking and canoeing through calm, scenic waters

● A year-round water source and travel corridor for wildlife

● Exceptional privacy rarely found with river-adjacent properties

Properties offering private access to backwater lakes and river systems consistently rank among the most sought-after recreational tracts in Wisconsin.

Proven Trophy Huntingr Property

This land is located in a region known for strong whitetail genetics, and the property itself carries a proven history of trophy-class whitetail deer, along with healthy populations of turkeys, waterfowl, and the occasional black bear. The habitat diversity and topography naturally support mature deer movement and consistent daylight activity.

Terrain transitions from brushy riverbottom flats to rolling bluff country, featuring deep, timbered ravines that provide thermal cover, secure bedding, and natural travel corridors. The timbered acres are a balanced mix of mature hardwoods and pine, creating excellent edge habitat and year-round cover.

Three Drive-In Access Points – Superior Functionality

Unlike many recreational tracts, this property offers three separate drive-in access locations, along with an established maintained atv trail system that significantly enhances huntability and long-term usability. Multiple access points allow for:

● Strategic entry and exit based on prevailing winds

● Increased multi purpose usability

● Flexible use for hunting, recreation, and land management

● Improved efficiency for future habitat improvements

This level of access control is a hallmark of high-quality recreational tracts..

Build Sites & Long-Term Versatility

In addition to recreation, the property offers multiple potential building sites, including elevated locations that provide scenic views across the surrounding countryside. Whether envisioned as:

● A private hunting cabin

● A recreational getaway

● A full-time residence

…the property’s layout allows for development without compromising privacy or the integrity of the hunting experience.

Year-Round Outdoor Recreation

Beyond hunting, this property supports a wide range of outdoor activities, including:

● Fishing and kayaking on Stevens Lake and connected backwaters

● Hiking through wooded ridges, ravines, and woodland trails

● ATV/UTV use for recreation and property management

● Wildlife viewing, photography, and nature enjoyment

The diverse landscape ensures year-round engagement and usability.

A Premier Western Wisconsin Offering

Properties offering private water access, proven wildlife history, multiple access points, diverse terrain, and build-site potential are becoming increasingly difficult to find in the coulee region . This tract stands as a true Midwest Lifestyle offering, appealing to buyers seeking quality, privacy, and long-term value. Whether your goal is a premier hunting property, a private recreational retreat, or a legacy land investment in western Wisconsin, this 74± acre tract near Melrose delivers on every level.
