Centrally located between Green Bay and Sturgeon Bay, and only 1 mile from Lake Michigan, exists a fabulous rolling farm property with a very large, beautiful home and storage building. The home measures over 4,000 square feet, and the 14 large rooms each have their own character. As you walk through the home, you will immediately notice that its design compliments the wonderful garden and its gorgeous plantings right outside. Many varieties of hostas, flowers, pear and apple trees, and others are found within the acres surrounding the buildings. Over several decades, the owners of this property expanded the garden into a remarkable and peaceful setting that anyone would enjoy. You will find yourself wondering just where you are in the garden; it is that immense and captivating. The storage building measures 110’ X 48’, with the west end 15’ inside height. A 20’ X 24’ section on the east end has been insulated and heated, providing a nice workspace for cold days. There are 4 overhead doors and one 20’ sliding door on the west end for very large equipment. An additional overhead door is found on the north side; vehicles are parked on the east end. The fields have been planted in corn or alfalfa this year; crop rotation keeps the land strong and production at very high levels. NCCPI ratings are very good as the predominant soil type is Kewaunee silty clay loam. The Red River cuts across the property from northwest to southeast and provides just the right kind of drainage for the entire property. Since the fields are perfectly sloped this land is well suited for a farmer wanting to start field work early in spring. The land reaches 750’ of elevation at its highest point on the south end and drops to 700’ at the edge of the Red River. Tremendous respect has been given to the land over all these years to protect the quality of the fields, the river and the land near the river. The unplanted bottom near the river averages approximately 200 feet in width, with very mature trees found throughout. Grasses typically found near water continue to provide great bedding area for resident deer. At this time of year, acorns can be heard dropping like incidental hailstones, and the ground littered near the monster oaks. Apple trees are found near the river, carefully located in the best location to intercept unsuspecting deer, but they are also found on the south end woodlot. It is here that you will also find a few very well-placed elevated blinds. Success is just a matter of getting to the stands. Additional stands are located along the west border at high elevations that allow you to see deer and turkeys as they escape cover in search of food in the fields. The 95+/- acres of farm fields are a picturesque, postcard creation that is not often seen or experienced. Walking over the land gives one the sense that you have escaped to your own version of heaven. Not until you have seen and walked this land can you understand why this family has taken such pride in it. Not until you have watched a flock of turkeys or a bunch of deer ease into the fields can you understand the peace of this property. The bottoms along the river will remind you what it was like to be a kid during those times when you spent hours looking for all the living things found along water. In the late afternoon sun, when long shadows are cast, fields take on an entirely different look. And it is at this time of day when you are glad that you have become the owner of such a gorgeous piece of creation.
