View on Google MapsDescription
This 289-acre property in Waupaca County, Wisconsin, is one of the largest contiguous tracts to come to market in eastern Wisconsin this year. Located between New London and Clintonville at the end of a quiet dead-end road, it offers a combination of permanently protected wildlife habitat and versatile acreage for building, farming, and recreation, all within approximately 45 minutes of the Fox River Valley.
Of the 289 total acres, 188.87 surveyed acres will be enrolled in the Wetlands Reserve Easement (WRE) program. This ensures the land will remain dedicated to wetland and wildlife habitat in perpetuity, supporting the age structure for trophy deer, turkey, waterfowl, and small game. The habitat mix will include high ground of native prairie bedding ground, restored wetland meadows, shallow water for waterfowl, wooded cover, and lowland areas that create year-round benefits for wildlife and stellar deer, turkey, and waterfowl hunting. The program is written so that a new owner can essentially be the general contractor of the established plan that is funded via the NRCS. The added benefit, beyond a highly attractive price per acre for this area, is the funding that will come to a new owner to complete the project per the plan. The property is set to be enrolled in November/December 2025 and allows for roughly two years to implement the project. The WRE enhancements are specifically designed to allow wildlife and the land to flourish.
The remaining 100 +/-acres are outside the WRE and include potential buildable areas, 25 plus acres of productive tillable and food plot-type ground, and additional recreational land. This portion offers the opportunity to establish a private residence, hobby farm, or hunting base in the middle of what is and will be a wildlife paradise while maintaining agricultural use. Fields are accessible for equipment and can be leased to a local farmer or even left as standing crops for more wildlife appeal.
The property layout already comes with well-documented quality deer hunting with wooded cover and bedding areas on the edges and open fields toward the center. Food plot opportunities and the ability to leave standing grain can further enhance hunting conditions. Eastern access provides favorable entry for fall hunting when prevailing winds are from the west.
This is more than just land—it’s a chance to own, improve, and enjoy one of the area’s most unique properties. Contact listing agent Dave Schutt for details or to schedule a private showing.
