You’re staring at a true Driftless masterpiece—a once-in-a-generation estate where cascading bluffs, deep sweeping valleys, and priceless views collide with a breathtaking updated farmhouse and 169+/- acres of absolute paradise in the hills of Hillsboro, Wisconsin. This is the kind of southwest Wisconsin farm for sale that stops you in your tracks—the kind you don’t just buy, you hold onto for life.
If you’ve been searching for hunting land for sale, agriculture land for sale, or a country home for sale that delivers both lifestyle and legacy, you’ve just found it. Tucked into the rolling terrain of Vernon County, this property offers the peaceful grace of country living wrapped in a setting that feels almost too beautiful to be real. Mornings begin with the sun rising over ridge tops kissed in dew, while evenings settle quietly into golden horizons stretching across your very own valley.
At the heart of the property lies a beautiful brick farmhouse that blends timeless character with modern comfort. Step inside and you’ll feel it immediately—custom Amish-crafted hickory cabinetry and the warmth of Birdseye maple and hickory wood floors beneath your feet. The kitchen stands as a showpiece with granite countertops, whisper-glide cabinetry, pull-out shelving, a built-in spice rack, and even a new kitchen faucet that adds a subtle finishing touch to an already refined space. This home doesn’t just function—it tells a story of craftsmanship, pride, and rural heritage brought back to life.
The residence offers five bedrooms and three bathrooms (Septic rating is 4-bedroom) including a well-appointed master suite, making it ideal for families, guests, or hosting during the holidays and hunting season. Thoughtfully upgraded, including new plumbing in 2012, a well installed in 2013, a newer furnace, upgraded 1,000-gallon LP tank, and a full suite of newer appliances. Energy efficiency is front and center with solar panels powered by dual Tesla batteries, giving you modern independence in a timeless setting. An attached two-car garage with floor drain and loft space adds functionality, the 15×30’ bonus room area above the garage is unfinished and can be used for storage or finish it off in the future if your desire. Complete with 200-amp service, insulation, and quality windows.
Step outside and the farmstead unfolds like something out of a storybook. There’s a two-stall steel shed and a 30’x50’ steel barn that truly steals the show—complete with concrete floors and spray foam insulation for year-round comfort. Massive 10-foot overhangs provide protection and versatility, while the upper level has been transformed into gathering space, and the kind of atmosphere that builds lifelong memories during deer season and beyond.
From a land perspective, this is elite. Approximately 110± acres of timber create a sanctuary for wildlife, paired with 30± acres of tillable ground and the balance in fenced pasture for grazing. Two established orchards featuring apple, pear, and peach trees add both beauty and function, while a meandering stream flows through the property, offering a year-round water source and even trout fishing opportunities. Scattered natural springs—several year-round natural springs—further enhance the land’s vitality for cattle.
For the serious outdoorsman, this is amazing hunting land for sale. The property has a proven history of producing trophy whitetails, with extensive habitat work already completed including hinge cutting, established food plots, and strategic bedding areas. Deer sign is everywhere—mud-worn trails, heavy rub lines, and cratered scrapes along field edges. This is textbook Driftless deer country, with ridge systems, saddles, and funnels that naturally guide movement. On more than one occasion, mature bucks have been seen locked up near the pond just behind the buildings—a testament to the property’s ability to consistently hold and grow big deer.
An established trail system winds throughout the farm, providing seamless access for hunting, recreation, or simply exploring your land. The topography is nothing short of breathtaking—rock outcroppings, jutting ridge points, and dramatic elevation changes create both visual appeal and functional habitat diversity.
The property is enrolled in Managed Forest Land (Closed), offering tax benefits with NO further required timber cuts, and annual taxes are approximately $5,333
This is more than just a farm for sale in southwest Wisconsin—it’s a legacy property, a private sanctuary, and a rare opportunity to own one of the most complete country estates in Vernon County. Properties of this caliber, combining a fully renovated home, income potential, recreational excellence, and unmatched beauty, simply do not come around often.
This is your chance to step into something extraordinary. Once-in-a-generation opportunity.
