100 +/- Acre Ridge-Top Driftless Retreat in Crawford County WI

Tucked high on a quiet ridge where hardwoods glow gold in October and the Kickapoo River winds through some of Wisconsin’s most beloved outdoor country, The Driftless Area. This 100± acre rural retreat blends everything to love about Midwestern living—room to roam, a welcoming country cottage, income-producing land, and the kind of hunting habitat you usually hear whispered about at the local café. Whether you’re dreaming of a weekend hideaway, a base camp for deer season, or a place to grow into full-time country life, this property captures the rhythm of the hills, the seasons, and the outdoor heritage that makes this region special.

Set along mature stands of diverse hardwood timber, the land has been thoughtfully stewarded and holds strong recreational potential for hunters, naturalists, and anyone craving space under a big Wisconsin sky. With ½ mile ± of Kickapoo River frontage, you’ll enjoy fishing, paddling, wildlife watching, and classic river-bottom adventure just steps from your door. Come fall, you’ll find whitetail rut activity weaving through the ridges and valleys—prime habitat for whitetail hunters who appreciate terrain that naturally funnels deer movement.

At the heart of the acreage sits an eco-friendly 2-bed, 1-bath ridge-top cottage, perfect for relaxing after morning chores or kicking off your boots after an evening sit in the timber. Fiber-optic internet makes remote work surprisingly effortless—your “office view” becomes rolling hills and whispering trees. A NEW drilled well & septic system have been installed, making this welcoming cottage an option to be a full-time residence, offering the peace and privacy that only country living can deliver.

Functional amenities already in place include a 24’×48′ pole barn with a concrete floor—ideal for equipment, UTVs, tractors, or gear—and a 10’×48′ lean-to shed for additional storage. About 16± acres of open ag ground currently in row crops, adding income potential and diverse land use opportunities for the next owner. Whether you’re thinking of a hobby farm, food plots, grazing, or just wide-open views, these fields bring flexibility and function to the property.

Opportunities like this don’t come around often—where income, recreation, mature timber, water access, and a comfortable cottage all meet on one quiet ridge. One look around Turben Ridge and you will understand what it truly means to live the rural lifestyle in Wisconsin’s Driftless Region.
