JUNEAU COUNTY, Wisconsin - Land & Legacy Group has successfully closed the transaction for a premier 308.2-acre piece of vacant land located in the Town of Necedah. This exceptional rural listing is renowned as a whitetail and waterfowl mecca, offering a captivating blend of bottomland hardwoods and diverse habitats. The property boasts a scenic natural topography consisting of level, low, wooded, and wetland areas, anchored by beautiful access to the Yellow River along its east side.  

"This expansive Juneau County acreage is a prime example of top-tier Wisconsin recreational land," said Al Wisnefske, Broker/Owner of Land & Legacy Group. "The unique combination of Yellow River frontage, mature bottomland hardwoods, and an established potential build site makes this the ultimate haven for deer and waterfowl enthusiasts seeking natural splendor."

NAVIGATING MANAGED FOREST LAW AND RIVERFRONT VALUATION IN JUNEAU COUNTY

Marketing a large-scale recreational tract often requires navigating the complexities of government forestry programs and shoreland floodplain environments. By expertly addressing the property's partial Managed Forest Law (MFL-closed) enrollment and advising buyers to verify the established potential build site with the town and county, proper land brokering maximized this property's marketability. Key assets highlighted during the campaign included:  

• 308.2 estimated acres of raw land tailored for immediate recreational occupancy.  
• Direct river water front and access to the scenic Yellow River.  
• A diverse, natural topography featuring level terrain, low wetlands, and rich wooded habitats.  
• An established potential build site carefully situated amidst partial flood plain areas.  

To maximize the value for the seller, our marketing strategy emphasized the sheer scarcity of contiguous, large-acreage waterfront tracts in rural Wisconsin. We targeted eager recreational buyers by highlighting the property's immediate occupancy availability and its turnkey suitability for outdoor adventure. By presenting clear and comprehensive documentation upfront—including the listing contract, listing amendments, seller condition reports, and zoning details—we eliminated buyer hesitation and drove strong demand for the entire parcel.  

The strategic listing was officially activated on May 9, 2023, with showings commencing on May 24, 2023. The property generated significant interest, going pending on October 12, 2023, after 142 days on the market. The transaction officially closed on January 17, 2024, achieving a final cash sales price of $770,000. This closing price secured maximum equity for the seller against the initial $789,000 list price, and the deal was completed with no seller concessions.  

Juneau County remains a highly sought-after destination for outdoor enthusiasts and recreational buyers from metropolitan areas seeking rural retreats. Inventory for premium land assets boasting river frontage and rich wildlife habitats is exceptionally tight. This strong price benchmark and successful cash transaction prove our brokerage's ability to navigate complex land sales and deliver top-tier equity for Wisconsin landowners looking to successfully close on their premium assets.
