18710 Doudna Lane, Richland Center, WI 53581 - Richland County

Whether in search of a new hunting camp, outdoor retreat, farmette, or even a potential permanent home, this property has something for the entire family to fall in love with! This peaceful, secluded setting can be found at the end of a dead-end road in the heart of the Driftless Region.

The estate greets you with a charming, well-kept 1576 sq.ft. home overlooking two stocked ponds (one for rainbow trout, the other for bluegill and bass) along with Marshall Creek, a Class I trout stream. Perfectly situated to capture southerly and westerly views, stretching up a long valley to bask in sunlight and sunsets.

Inside, you're greeted by a great room filled with southerly-facing windows for abundant natural light, a classic wood-burning fireplace, and walls covered with deer harvested from the 65-acre tract. A truly great space for everyone to gather after a day of hunting, fishing, hiking, mushroom foraging, or Driftless Region exploration.

This space easily flows into the kitchen which offers an ample number of soft-close cabinets, stove, microwave, and fridge. Directly adjacent to both rooms, an expansive dining area is ideal for hosting family dinners, holiday meals, and special celebrations. Additionally, the main level offers a full bathroom and master bedroom. The upstairs provides multiple bedrooms for extra sleeping space to accommodate visitors.

Storage for toys and equipment is afforded by a one stall-attached garage and portable tarped shelter.

A trail system departs in either direction of the base camp to seamlessly navigate through the property. The highly diverse landscape consists of 15+/- acres of old fields and food plots with the balance being timber and stream riparian areas.

The open ground serves as a blank canvas to be crafted in your vision. Consider expanding the current food plot architecture, establishing native cool/warm season grasses, planting a diverse array of shrubs and trees, or converting back to functional farm/pasture ground. The current food plots are a blend of soybeans and greens- both of which have proven to be highly attractive after the recent snowfall.

The timber is a well-balanced northern hardwood mix consisting of red oak, white oak, sugar maple, and aspen, along with elm, red maple, and hickory. The topography features multiple ridges and valleys creating different slope aspects (south facing, east facing, west facing). On a macro scale, the tracts topography connects to a vast network of surrounding ridge systems to create for exciting November rut hunts when bucks are putting on the miles.

Trail camera and harvest history provide evidence of the potential class of deer hunters have come to expect in Richland County. The frontage along Doudna Ln. combined with the position of the main entrance creates ingress/egress options to limit pressure and/or permit multiple hunters to utilize the property without interference.
