Description
Experience the serene beauty of Sauk County from this stunning chalet-inspired timber-frame home nestled atop the scenic rolling ridges of the driftless region. With 4,045 square feet, this custom-built Wisconsin Log Home retreat offers expansive views, blending comfort with rustic charm, making it perfect for anyone seeking relaxation with unparalleled luxury.
Stepping through the front door, you will immediately recognize the skilled craftsmanship that was put into the planning and execution of the home’s construction. Built in 2018, the home is a modern gem, with features many will appreciate! The sale includes a fully furnished house, minus several excluded items, making this turnkey. The living room is breathtaking, with vaulted ceilings accented by massive timber framework. Immediately your eyes will catch the warm, natural stone fireplace that fills the room with the ambiance you would expect from a rural estate. The floor-to-ceiling windows continue to paint the picture the builders intended by filling the room with natural light and simultaneously transporting you and your guests to the great outdoors. The dining room and kitchen flow seamlessly together, while still offering their own separate spaces. The granite countertops and unique stone backsplash accent the knotty alder cabinets that flow from top to bottom. Directly off the dining room is a 4-season porch. This peaceful sitting space gives you a perfect view of all the passing wildlife along the edge of the woods. Off the 4-season room is a covered, open-air Trek deck with furnishings from Don’s Home Furniture. Thanks to its west-facing location, you will enjoy many sunsets from this perch.
The primary bedroom features plenty of space with scenic views from the large windows. The large closet is a highlight, offering plenty of storage space. The private ensuite features more granite countertops and a rainfall shower. The other two bedrooms are located in the basement. Both offer plenty of space and would make excellent multipurpose spaces. The basement bathroom features another walk-in shower and a deep soaking bathtub. The entertainment room on the lower level is the perfect place for hosting guests. The kitchenette features more granite countertops, a wine fridge, and a sink for the full wet bar experience.
The outbuildings include a large 36x60-foot shop that is heated and insulated for equipment storage and maintenance year-round. The 32x46-foot barn is attached to a paddock area, making it the ideal location for someone interested in starting a hobby farm. The barn loft floor is reinforced with steel I-beams to handle any rigorous loads from haywagons to tractors. Another 12x18-foot utility shed is near the barn, providing storage for lawn equipment, feed, or any other small items.
The last building on the property is a 48x58-foot shed/house, or SHOUSE for short. With another large garage door on the front, the building can be used for storage. It also has 2 bedrooms with a loft, a wood stove for heat, and an entertainment area for watching the big game on Sunday night! The building could be turned into a fully functional guest house with the addition of water and a holding tank.
The land highlights everything you could imagine in the driftless region of the state. Known for quality bucks, this estate lands directly in the middle of prime Wisconsin hunting country. Over 140 feet of elevation change occurs from east to west as you move across the property. Alongside the home is almost 8 acres of open land. Some of this has already been fenced for animals, while the rest is ready for hay, or a comprehensive foot plot regime. Heading back into the woods, which consists of a good deal of maple and oak, you will find a completely different atmosphere. Once you enter the forest, the massive rock outcroppings remind you that you’re in southern Wisconsin. The ATV/UTV trail takes you down a decent slope at first (this offers a great variety of locations for bow hunting) into a more gradually sloped portion of the property. The wooded land continues this even slope as you walk through the rest of the property. The owner has already set up several shooting lanes for better visibility, giving you multiple options. The Nature Conservancy owns over 1000 acres on the east side of Schara Road, creating the perfect Quality Deer Management Area right in your backyard. By diversifying your food plot(s), you can increase deer traffic on your property and potentially pull some large deer out of the conservancy where they are left relatively untouched.
Devil’s Lake State Park is close by offering plenty of hiking, kayaking, paddleboarding, and majestic views of the lake below. With Pine Hollow, Honey Creek, and Hemlock Draw State Natural Areas within minutes of your home, you have unlimited potential for numerous outdoor adventures. These natural areas offer thousands of acres of deer and turkey hunting, giving you numerous options within minutes of your home. Honey Creek is a class II trout stream as well for anyone interested in fishing.
If this sounds like that dream home you’ve been waiting for, call Land Specialist Evan Ruesch or Brian Ruesch today for your private showing.
