50-Acre Outdoor Investment Property in Monroe County | Fishing

Just five miles east of Tomah, where Interstate 90/94 intersects one of Wisconsin's fastest-growing travel corridors, lies a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of the most unique recreational investment properties to reach the market in decades. Privately owned by the same family for nearly 100 years, this remarkable 50+/- acre estate combines a world-class private fishery, exceptional hunting habitat, Bear Creek trout frontage, future development potential and unmatched accessibility into a property that simply cannot be duplicated.

From the moment you enter the gated drive, you're welcomed into what feels like your own private outdoor resort. Towering hardwoods, winding trails and emerald-blue water create an atmosphere of complete escape despite being only minutes from Tomah's restaurants, shopping, healthcare and interstate access. It's the rare property where you can launch a boat, catch trophy fish, watch whitetails filter into evening food plots and still reach Madison, La Crosse or the Wisconsin Dells with remarkable convenience.

The centerpiece of the estate is an extraordinary 17-acre private lake, originally engineered in the 1960s by the Wisconsin Highway Department according to the current owner. Nearly 20 feet deep in areas, the lake has been meticulously managed for years with 11 aeration diffusers, established spawning habitat, a private boat launch and an aggressive fisheries management program that has transformed it into one of the finest private fisheries in the region. Since 2017, hundreds of thousands of baitfish have been introduced alongside carefully selected stockings of walleye, largemouth bass, black crappie, yellow perch and bluegill. Natural reproduction is already occurring, creating a sustainable fishery that promises exceptional angling for generations to come.

Complementing the main lake is a newly constructed 2.5± acre permitted pond, completed in 2023 and thoughtfully designed with future vision in mind. Exceeding 16 feet in depth, this striking body of water features its own powered island-style peninsula, drilled well, electrical service and recent fish stockings, creating an incredible setting for a luxury cabin, executive retreat, boutique campground, waterfront event venue or private family compound. Few recreational properties offer this level of infrastructure already in place.

Beyond the water, the land itself is equally impressive. Established food plots, strategically positioned travel corridors, thick bedding cover and neighboring agricultural fields combine to create exceptional deer hunting. Once surrounding crops are harvested each fall, the property's food plots become one of the most attractive remaining food sources within roughly a one-mile radius, naturally concentrating wildlife and creating outstanding late-season hunting opportunities. Waterfowl utilize both ponds throughout migration while Bear Creek, a designated trout stream, further enhances the recreational diversity of this extraordinary holding.

Miles of established UTV trails weave throughout the property, allowing effortless access whether you're hunting, fishing, hiking or simply exploring. Thousands of recently planted evergreen trees continue to mature, adding privacy, beauty and long-term habitat enhancement while increasing the property's overall investment appeal.

For developers and investors, the possibilities are equally compelling. Few Wisconsin properties combine Interstate 90/94 frontage, exceptional visibility, existing utilities, multiple water features and recreational value into one offering. Whether your vision includes a luxury campground, glamping destination, executive retreat, waterfront hospitality concept, conservation-minded family estate, corporate getaway or simply holding a rare hard asset with significant appreciation potential, this property provides an extraordinary canvas.

With electrical service already on-site, remarkably low annual property taxes of under $340, excellent road access and nearly limitless recreational amenities, this is far more than vacant land—it's a legacy investment designed to be enjoyed today while appreciating for decades to come.

Properties offering this combination of private water, established fisheries, premium hunting habitat, development flexibility and interstate accessibility rarely become available. Opportunities like this don't simply come on the market—they become part of a family's legacy.

If you've been searching for one of the finest recreational investment properties in Wisconsin, your search ends here.
