The balance consists of timber, draws, CRP cover, and interior fields that sit out of sight for privacy and clean access.

Bear Pen Coulee serves as the centerpiece of the hunting layout. Its a natural travel corridor with thick bedding points, finger ridges, and a defined saddle that ties into the main ridge system. Deer use these features to move between bedding and food with the wind in their favor, creating predictable pinch points for stands and blinds, safe entry and exit along the ridge, and consistent daylight movement during the early season, pre-rut, and rut.
Access is excellent. A newly installed trail system and existing hill roads make it easy to reach the majority of the farm on foot or by UTV. The trails support low-impact entry, habitat work, equipment access, and game recovery while keeping pressure off the core areas.
A centrally located pond creates a natural hub between the ridge system and Bear Pen Coulee. It sets up perfectly for a box blind location with small food plots nearby. Food, water, and cover converge here, producing reliable movement and a natural staging area in multiple wind scenarios.
On the tillable side, 27.61 acres are currently planted in alfalfa/hay, with the balance enrolled in two CRP programs. These include 38.64 acres in General Sign-Up (expiring 2026) and 38.81 acres in SAFE WI Monarch and Pollinator (expiring 2039). These programs add structure, edge, and year-round cover for deer and upland wildlife while generating annual payments. Program details are on file, and the buyer will assume per CRP terms.
Recreation is close by. Ella and the Chippewa River are roughly a mile from the farm, providing quick access for fishing, paddling, and waterfowl hunting, along with the 13,000-acre Tiffany Wildlife Area, known for its abundant wildlife. Lake Pepin and the Mississippi River are an easy drive at Pepin or Nelson, with additional services and amenities available in Wabasha and Durand.
Its a big landscape with big possibilities farm it, hunt it, build on it, and enjoy year-round access to two of the Upper Midwests great rivers.
