Grant County, Wisconsin Land Available - 75± Acres of Premier Recreational & Timber Investment Opportunity
Peoples Company proudly presents this rare, hard-to-find 75± acre property located in scenic Grant County, Wisconsin, with an exceptional blend of recreational enjoyment and long-term investment potential in an area well-known for producing Boone and Crockett whitetail trophies. Approximately 57 acres of the property are covered in mature hardwood timber, complemented by pockets of open grassy areas that provide excellent habitat diversity. An established trail system with adequate room for side-by-side rangers throughout the property, allowing easy access for hiking, ATV riding, or quietly navigating your hunting grounds.
This is a property that truly lives by the phrase: “small acreage that hunts big.” Through intentional habitat design and management, every acre works to hold all species of wildlife. Thoughtfully managed and strategically placed summer and fall food plots enhance the land’s appeal to wildlife, making this a turnkey setup for avid hunters and outdoor enthusiasts. The summer and fall food plots are comprised of a mixture of milo and sorghum, which is an excellent, drought-tolerant choice for wildlife, providing late-season grain and tall natural bedding cover for all species, including deer, turkey, and upland birds. In addition, in the southwest corner, you’ll find a beautifully established Pheasants Forever prairie, adding both conservation value and prime upland bird habitat with nesting and brood-rearing cover, winter cover, and adequate food sources. Thoughtfully designed and strategically positioned, every acre works to your advantage, creating natural movement, strong bedding areas, and consistent opportunities. Whether you’re chasing mature whitetails or simply looking for a highly efficient, easy-to-hunt setup, this tract delivers action that rivals much larger farms. It’s the kind of place where smart habitat meets big potential and hunts that feel anything but small.
This tract also stands out as a strong timber investment with woodlands enrolled in the Managed Forest Law (MFL) Program. The property features a diverse mix of hardwoods, with black walnut being the dominant and most valuable species, with lesser amounts of bur oak, red oak, white oak, elm, black oak, and basswood. A recent third-party timber appraisal conducted on May 6, 2026, estimated a total volume of 120,860 board feet of sawtimber to be present (87,160 board feet of walnut and 33,700 board feet of mixed hardwoods), valued at approximately $187,520. Current timber/walnut quality is generally average, but is highly variable from area to area. The terrain is generally moderate with some steeper spots, typical for the Grant County, Wisconsin area. Most of the walnut trees are 14-18” in diameter, with only scattered trees 20+” in diameter. Walnut trees can put on 3-4” of diameter growth every decade on good sites in this part of Wisconsin. With steady market conditions, walnut timber values are projected to double or even triple over the next 10–20 years, offering significant upside potential.
The property includes a movable 12' x 24' Mennonite-built metal shed with an overhead 8' x 7' door, designed for comfort and functionality. The structure is insulated with closed-cell spray foam and powered by a solar panel system that trickle-charges a dual 12-volt battery setup. This allows for reliable operation of LED lighting, small appliances such as a coffee maker or sandwich press, and entertainment options like a TV/DVD player. An attached commode room adds additional functionality, making the space ideal for extended stays during hunting season or weekend getaways.
This land is within a short 5-minute UTV ride to the Ellenboro Saloon and is ideally situated between Platteville and Lancaster, Wisconsin, just off State Highway 81 in the heart of Wisconsin’s Driftless Region. The surrounding area is known for its striking topography, fertile soil, and abundant wildlife. In addition to exceptional deer hunting, the region features numerous trout streams and access to quality smallmouth bass fishing, expanding the property’s year-round recreational appeal. Whether your goal is to own a highly efficient hunting property, a diverse recreational retreat, or a land investment with both immediate enjoyment and long-term financial upside, this Grant County tract checks every box. It’s a property where design meets opportunity and where modest acreage delivers unlimited results.
