Purdy Ridge Escape

Land Description

Check out this 92.6 +/- acre recreational parcel in the heart of Vernon County's big buck country. It's conveniently located 15 minutes from the eclectic town of Viroqua, and also 15 minutes from recreational opportunities on the Mississippi River.

The property is easily accessible from each side of the parcel. The east side offers 2 addresses on County Road N. One features a classic camper trailer, storage container and a UTV trail to the ridge. The second is a potential building site with views of the valley. Shingle Hollow Road provides access on the west side. A modest equipment shed and a vehicle road to the ridge are available on this side.

This ridge access from 2 points and a 30+/- acre field centrally located on the property helps hold wildlife. 5.14 acres of this open ground is enrolled in the CRP program focusing on monarch and pollinator cover. The remaining field is rented to a local farmer. Small open pockets provide great food plot locations. Two strategically located buried watering tubs and a catch pond also help hold deer & turkey on the property.

The 57+/- acres of hardwoods that encompass the field not only provide excellent bedding cover, but also edge cover, mast in the form of acorns and great stand sites. Due to the layout and access, this property can be hunted effectively during any wind direction. Take a look today and be ready for opening day 2024.
