Sprawling sustainable acreage cattle farm with rustic Home in Kewaunee county

Introducing one of the largest contiguous acreage tracts you will likely see listed in this area for the foreseeable future. The property features sprawling acreage of healthy pasture ground that has been rotationally grazed as part of a sustainable grass fed farming operation for many years. This property is the bellwether in terms of showcasing the give and take relationship of cattle farming while keeping the land in perfect balance with nature's original intent. The land has been meticulously maintained by the owner and is well known for its sustainable grazing operations and top shelf beef cattle. Because of this, when you walk this property you notice in bulk the little things that you don't always see on other properties; the birds, the bees, the cattle, the deer, the plants, and the wildlife all have what they need here without want for more...a harmonious relationship. Much of the grass that you see in the pastures is chest high and provides ample forage for the cows and then some. There are thousands of feet of water lines ran that service the livestock needs throughout the property. The grass fed beef herd that currently graze these soils likely won't see a mouthful of grain in their life; the end user will appreciate what that tastes like instantaneously on the dinner table.

The home is a rustic three bedroom, three bath, with hickory floors and cabinets built in 2010. An open concept great room flows smoothly into the kitchen so family and guests can gather. The master bedroom and bath are on the lower level and the two remaining bedrooms on the upper. The views out the back of the house include a quaint pond, a fire pit, and a small slice of the large grazing paradise to the east. The front of the home features a grove of trees and flowers providing further privacy from the lightly used township road. There is an additional living area above the garage, which could be made as functional as needed for the next owner.

As you might imagine, the wildlife thrive on this parcel. The current owner has caught up with some very nice bucks over the years, along with stories of others that survived the chase. The entire acreage has so much bedding cover that the deer feel safe throughout and historically aren't shy about showing themselves. There is ample deer sign in the wooded area of the property and also deer and ducks near the fifteen or so acres of shallow duck scrapes and wildflowers that have been planted. This fifteen acres was designed as a natural sanctuary and, not surprisingly, the ducks and other waterfowl nest here in the spring along with the turkeys and deer.

On the business end of things, the overall opportunities with an acreage of this size 30 minutes from a metro area are endless. Kept as it is, a new owner could accommodate a large herd of beef cattle and would likely have a waiting list of buyers for the meat as the current owner has experienced. Another option would be to allow for a custom grazing operation for someone else in the area. In that regard, the property is currently enrolled in a grazing program serving as an excellent immediate and secure source of income. A new owner could continue this path or choose to go a different direction with the agreement depending on their plans for the land. There is also significant potential income in farming the ground for hay in the summer months per the owner. The options for horse operations here are also abundant and shouldn't be ignored. Another angle would be a row crop operation. That is obviously a popular choice in this area of the state, and could easily be done. The current owner intends to sell as a whole. Buy with confidence, as the list price coincides with a pre sale appraisal of the land and home that can be shared with qualified buyers. That said, the new owners could easily choose to live in or parcel off and sell the existing home and a few acres. There are multiple other build site options on the property, with road frontage and utility access, if a new owner wanted to build their own dream without disturbing the flow of the property in the least.

This property has options galore and a beautiful blank canvas to get you started. If interested, give list agent Dave Schutt a call with questions or to arrange a private tour of the property. Thank you for taking a look and I hope to see you around the ranch!
