159.54 Acre Adams County property Near Nekoosa, WI

You’re looking at one of those tracts that makes seasoned land buyers stop scrolling and lean in closer — a 159.54-acre whitetail sanctuary.

This is the kind of ground that doesn’t need hype. It sells itself through location, scale and neighborhood. Situated just outside of Rome the property lies sandwiched between low-pressure cover surrounding you, creating the textbook setup for bucks to feel safe.

You enter from the northeast corner where a turnaround driveway and dual gated entrance welcome you in. From there, a meandering trail system guides you through the front — a manageable, huntable piece loaded with diversity. Along the west edge flows Dead Horse Creek, a year-round water source that anchors wildlife movement and adds natural pinch points you can hunt year after year.

The terrain is mostly semi-flat, layered with dense bedding cover, oak flats, gnarly thickets and open marsh grass. Red osier dogwood alongside tall native grasses and marsh bottoms, creating thermal cover and security that whitetails crave. 60 +/- fruit trees have already been planted, setting the stage for a future buffet of natural attraction without competing pressure.

The front portion of the property is easily navigable today, while the remaining acreage remains wild, untouched and full of upside. This is a true virgin tract in many respects. With a little vision — think a skid steer with a mulching head — you could open strategic access routes, define bedding areas.

Two olders wood box blinds are positioned overlooking thick cover transitioning into openings — classic ambush setups for both archery and gun season. The current owner hasn’t hunted the property in years, which tells you everything you need to know about pressure levels. While the property is not buildable due to wetlands bring your camper to stay.

Beyond the property lines, the lifestyle shines just as bright. You’re minutes from both Petenwell Lake and Castle Rock Lake for boating, fishing and waterfront dining. ATV and snowmobile trail systems are close by, offering endless miles of recreation. Golf in the morning at Sand Valley Golf Course, climb into a treestand by afternoon. And when the family tags along, Wisconsin Dells — the Waterpark Capital of the World.

This region is celebrated for its diverse ecosystem, drawing outdoor enthusiasts for birding, hiking and foraging wild berries and mushrooms. It’s a place where land still feels wild, quiet and meaningful.

Per Adams County tax records, property taxes are just $1,241 annually. The land is not enrolled in MFL or any government program, keeping your management options wide open.
