This turnkey 83.31-acre property located on Hickory Hill Road near Arcadia, Wisconsin, offers diverse features designed for recreational use and long-term land management. The land combines income potential with developed habitat improvements that provide opportunities for someone seeking a turn key hunting property. The property features a balance of topography changes, including ridges, valleys, and areas suitable to grow quality food plots.
Over 18 acres are enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) with diverse grasses and over 11,000 conifer trees, generating more than $2,000 annually. This enrollment contributes to habitat diversity while also providing steady income. An additional six acres are dedicated to food plots that have been planted with crops that include corn, beans, milo, and brassicas. More than a dozen apple trees have been established to complement the food plot program, adding another source of forage throughout the year.
A trail system was created to provide year-round, convenient access throughout the property. The property has two-sided access, with the main driveway being a shared easement that ensures minimal traffic. To enhance wildlife management, six watering holes have been established, many paired with mock scrapes and camera locations. These habitat features are complemented by hunting infrastructure that includes 9 enclosed blinds and numerous ladder stands that are included in the sale of the property. These are positioned to allow hunting opportunities across different wind conditions.
Timber Stand Improvement (TSI) has been completed on portions of the property to open up the canopy and create significant browse options for wildlife. The timber resource is primarily composed of Black Walnut, Oak, Hickory, and Poplar. The property is also enrolled in the Managed Forest Law program, which provides the benefit of reduced real estate taxes while supporting long-term timber management.
Supporting infrastructure includes a three-sided 30x50 pole building that can be used for storing gear. Power is available onsite, and a sand point hand pump well is installed for water access.
This property is located less than one mile from the Buffalo County line and sits within a well-known deer hunting area. The location near Arcadia also provides access to local amenities, while larger cities such as Eau Claire, Wisconsin (about 40 miles), LaCrosse, Wisconsin (about 44 miles), and the Twin Cities in Minnesota (approximately 125 miles) are within driving distance.
For the deer hunter seeking a top-tier hunting farm, this property has been transformed with food plots, quality cover, and water features to attract and hold whitetails throughout the year.
