Set on 96.25 acres near Mount Hope, this custom full log home overlooks a landscape of rolling cattle pasture, wooded hillsides, spring-fed streams and secluded trails. It’s a place to raise livestock, gather the family, tend an orchard and disappear into the hills for an afternoon—all from a home built with an extraordinary connection to the land.

Located at 9854 US Highway 18 in Grant County, the four-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence with full pine logs were sourced from the Baraboo area, but much of the home’s character came from right here. Handcrafted cherry, ironwood, oak, maple and corkscrew willow appear throughout the interior along with numerous burls throughout, with much of that wood harvested from the property. The stonework and fireplace have stories of their own. Every beam, grain pattern and carefully chosen detail reminds you this home was made to belong exactly where it stands.

Upstairs, an open loft looks over the gathering space and leads to the primary bedroom, an additional bedroom and a full bath. The finished lower level provides room to spread out, entertain and unwind after a day on the land. In-floor heat warms both the lower level and attached garage, while a TSR concrete coating applied to the lower-level floor in 2023 gives that space a distinctive finish.

As you sit on the deck or from the bedroom window the sound of peace surrounds you. Follow the trails on a quiet morning, explore the timber with family or simply enjoy the privacy that comes from having this much ground around you.

On the ridgetop, a large garden and orchard area brings another season of enjoyment. Grapes, apples, pears, plums and pecans give the next owner the chance to carry on a tradition of growing and harvesting from their own land. It’s easy to imagine summer evenings in the garden, autumn drives through the pasture and winter days spent beside the fire.

The improvements are equally suited to country life. In addition to the attached garage, a detached garage and shop offers space for equipment, projects and storage, with generous overhangs providing covered areas outside.
