Property Details

Tucked at the end of a dead-end road just outside Arena, this 80+/- acre farmette sits roughly a mile from the Wisconsin River and about 30 minutes from the west side of Madison making it close enough for a weekend retreat or manageable commute, but far enough to feel like an escape.

The home’s A-frame design gives the interior a character accentuated by knotted pine ceilings climbing to a peak, heavy exposed timber framing, and a wagon wheel chandelier hanging above a wide-open great room and kitchen. The main level offers two bedrooms, a full bath, laundry, and an attached two-car garage. A third bedroom and half bath are available in the upstairs loft.

Outside, the farmstead takes shape. A gambrel barn serves storage. Apple trees between the house and barn, along with an old vineyard, help envision the possibilities for some self-subsistence. Long range views to the north catch glimpses of the hills situated above the Wisconsin River.

Approximately 30+/- acres of tillable ground round out the open land, with wetland/marsh cover and field edges to create predictable bed to feed movement for whitetails. Strutting turkeys have also regularly made their appearance in the springtime. The drainage ditches on the property along with the Wisconsin River being a mile out opens the door for waterfowl. The western and northern boundaries adjoin public land for additional recreational space.

Whether the draw is a manageable country commute, a weekend retreat, or a place to put down roots with room to hunt and grow, this one covers a lot of ground.
