62.15-ACRE JUNEAU COUNTY PROPERTY WITH RANCH HOME AND YELLOW RIVER FRONTAGE SELLS FOR $585,000

ABOUT THE PROPERTY

Land & Legacy Group LLC is pleased to announce the successful sale of a 62.15-acre rural property at W6797 23rd St in Necedah, Wisconsin, located in Juneau County. The property closed May 14, 2025 at $585,000 cash, after going under contract in March following 97 days on market.

At the center of the property sat a 2020-built, 2-bedroom, 3-bath ranch home with approximately 1,800 square feet of finished living space. The home was built for the setting. Vaulted ceilings, large windows, a kitchen island, and a sauna made it comfortable year-round, while the patio and sunshade connected the interior directly to the land outside. The 3-car attached garage and partially finished basement added practical storage and space.

The land itself was the real story. The property featured frontage on the South Branch of the Yellow River, a private pond, manicured trails, and hunting blinds already in place. A portion of the acreage was enrolled in Managed Forest Law, which provided forest management structure and meaningful property tax savings for the new owner. The lot description was rural, wooded, and wetlands, with a partial flood plain designation.

WHAT MADE THIS PROPERTY STAND OUT

Properties that combine a move-in ready home with serious hunting and recreation land on this scale are genuinely hard to find in central Wisconsin. Most buyers have to choose between a finished home and raw acreage. This one offered both, and it offered them at a level of quality that takes years to build.

The trails were manicured. The blinds were set. The pond and river frontage were not incidental features but central to how the property was used and how a buyer would use it going forward. The MFL enrollment added a layer of long-term value that serious land buyers understand immediately.
"A property like this one is set up and ready to use from day one," said Al Wisnefske of Land & Legacy Group LLC. "The home is dialed in, the land is managed, and the hunting and recreation infrastructure is already there. That combination is what buyers in this price range are really looking for."

THE BUYER AND THE JUNEAU COUNTY LAND MARKET

Juneau County draws consistent interest from buyers looking for recreational land and rural retreats within reach of larger population centers. The proximity to Castle Rock Lake and the Yellow River system makes this part of Wisconsin particularly appealing to hunters, anglers, and buyers who want a property they can actually use, not just look at.

This was a cash transaction, which is increasingly common for larger rural properties with this kind of acreage and recreational infrastructure. The sale closed at $585,000 against a list price of $599,000, reflecting a straightforward negotiation on a well-priced property.
