Stand Rock Retreat

Farm Description

At the end of a dead-end road in northern Crawford County, this special property awaits. Located just minutes from the famed Kickapoo River, and only 25 minutes to shopping in the eclectic town of Viroqua. This captivating property was crafted to be a “forever home”, but a work relocation allows you to take advantage of the seller's hard work and investment.

This 79.41-Acre parcel was groomed with professional assistance to offer prime whitetail habitat. Ridgetop and valley fields combine to offer 3+/- acres of established food plots. The remaining 5+/- acres of open area is planted in Timorthy grass, Orchard grass, switchgrass, and bee habitat. This combination offers wildlife food and cover, while creating a pleasing vista from the cabin. Hobby farmers and equestrians would also find the open ground attractive.

64 acres of the property is enrolled in the Managed Forest Law (Mfl closed) program to assist with timber management and help keep the taxes lower. The wooded area is a great mix of hardwoods with evergreen accent points. Stands of mast producing hardwoods flow into densely covered whitetail bedding points and offer great opportunities to intercept mature deer.

While the property will certainly appeal to hunters; hobby farmers, equestrians, preppers, and naturalists will find plenty to love on this attractive parcel. Near the cabin, a fenced garden area and several apple and peach trees await your green thumb. Anyone that loves to hike or ride Utv's will love exploring the 1.5+/- miles of trails that snake up to the ridges and along the valley. A short hike from one of the trails takes you to an overlook featuring 2 stand rocks that preside over the valley. The view from this point is sure to take your stress level down a notch. Another asset of the parcel are the 2 copious springs that bubble up into the valley, feeding 2 ponds, then forming a stream which meanders through the property before exiting at the lower end. One spring of this caliber would be amazing; this property offers two.

Centrally located in this delightful valley is a petite but charming home. The current owner utilized it as a permanent residence, but it would also make an ideal second home. Fiber Optic internet offers work from home opportunities. No expense was spared to make this 1100 +/- square foot home attractive and comfortable. The main cabin was built in approximately 2010, then updated to its current charm and size in 2018-2019. A welcoming front porch surveys the lower valley. The living room and kitchen with island seating, flow together to create a spacious central room. In one corner, a wood burning stove provides a cozy ambience and supplemental heat. Higher end appliances including a second oven, quartz countertops and custom cabinets accent a convenient and attractive kitchen. Above the kitchen, a small loft provides an overflow sleeping area.

Off the main space, two generous bedrooms, a full bath with double sinks and a tile shower, and a laundry/ mud room complete the main floor. A poured concrete basement provides dry, heated storage and houses the home mechanicals.

A newly constructed 2-3 car garage sits near the home. It is configured for convenient equipment and vehicle storage. If you have larger equipment, you will appreciate the 24'x48' classic tobacco shed which has been given new life with a recent exterior makeover. Ample storage for equipment of all sizes is provided by these two well thought out outbuildings.
