Description
This 183.3-acre tract in the heart of Waupaca county, Wisconsin brings together trophy deer hunting land, well managed timber, and a comfortable residence. The property combines diverse habitat, timber resources, and agricultural ground tucked in one of the most highly sought after areas of the state for big whitetails between Iola and Scandinavia.
The acreage is enrolled in the MFL Closed program, which helps keep property taxes low while also providing potential for future timber harvest income. Hardwood ridges cover much of the rolling terrain, while lower-lying areas provide valuable bedding habitat. The property acts as a corridor connecting large adjacent irrigated agricultural fields that supply food for the deer population throughout the year.
The hunting history here is impressive. Deer hunting is the highlight, as this neighborhood near Iola is widely recognized for producing top shelf deer; the trail cam and harvest pics definitely tell that story well. Several food plots have already been established, complemented by apple trees. Ladder stands and Banks enclosed blinds are strategically placed throughout the property, giving hunters multiple options to strategically play the wind. Turkey and waterfowl are also present in good numbers, with the pond area drawing ducks in spring and fall.
Beyond hunting, the land offers other seasonal uses. Maple trees provide opportunities for syrup production, and morel mushrooms can be foraged in the spring. Shed hunting is also productive in the spring. The property also could generate some crop rent off of the tillable fields.
Access is another strength. A well-maintained trail system reaches all parts of the property, making it easy to move equipment, check stands, or navigate during hunting seasons. Whether managing food plots, accessing blinds, or simply exploring, the layout supports full use of the land.
An approximately 1,450-square-foot home sits on the property, accompanied by a detached garage/shed/workshop. The home is practical for full-time residence or as a base for hunting and recreational use. Its location along the road provides convenient access while still keeping the acreage entirely private and undisturbed. Relax by the fire pit, on the deck, or simply talk about the day's hunt in the enclosed sunroom.
Large acreage tracts in this area with this type of history are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Please call list agents Terry Patrick or Dave Schutt to schedule your private showing of the property.
