Nestled in the heart of Wisconsin's Driftless Region, this exceptional farm combines rich history, fertile tillable acres, and income-producing rentals. Mill Creek winds through the land, bordered by mature hardwood forests, offering both beauty and opportunity. With flexible development potential, this is more than land—it's a legacy waiting to be preserved.
Among the idyllic rolling hills between Dodgeville and Mount Horeb, and located five miles north of Ridgeway, WI, lies one of Southwest Wisconsin's most remarkable and storied properties—a historic 306± acre farm that offers far more than fertile ground. This Iowa County treasure, dating back to the mid-1800s, is rich with American heritage, timeless beauty, and unmatched investment potential. Originally settled by pioneering homesteaders, the area became a bustling stagecoach stop and, as legend has it, played a role in the Underground Railroad. Its legacy remains visible today through the enduring presence of a 19th-century Blacksmith Shop, which still stands as a monument to hard work, community, and craftsmanship. This Blacksmith Shop sits on a parcel owned by the Historical Society Territory Inc.
Now, after over a century of family ownership, the opportunity has arrived to acquire this once-in-a-generation estate—where history, agriculture, and financial promise converge. The property boasts 130± acres of productive row crops, currently in corn and soybean rotation, with fertile soils and rental income potential. Another 60± acres of lush pasture are fenced and cross-fenced, complete with water infrastructure, creeks, and cattle culverts beneath the road—ideal for rotational grazing. The land spans three sides of County Road H and Knobs Road, offering usability and strong potential for future parcel splits.
