Country Home/Hobby Farm 8.792 Acres, Minutes from Viroqua WI

Award-winning energy efficiency meets exceptional character and a true country home/hobby-farm lifestyle! Recognized by Focus on Energy as one of the five most energy-efficient homes built in Wisconsin in 2021, the builders received the prestigious Energy Excellence Award partly for this thoughtfully designed, all-electric home. R-40 double-stud walls, R-70 blown-in attic insulation, high-quality casement windows with energy-saving glazing, and an exceptionally tight building envelope minimize energy loss. A Zehnder whole-house ERV provides fresh air through energy-recovery ventilation. Two Mitsubishi heat-pump mini-splits heat and cool the main level, while the lower level features in-floor liquid radiant heat. A heat-pump water heater and a 7700-kW solar array enhance efficiency. Average total utility costs are just $100/month, excluding internet.

But efficiency doesn't mean sacrificing style! Large south-facing windows fill the home with natural light, complemented by 9' ceilings, hardwood and tile flooring, custom kitchen cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, terrazzo tile, and a distinctive black walnut counter. The primary suite includes a private bath with in-floor electric heat and an impressive 9' x 8' walk-in closet. There is a deck off the back of the home and a delightful 12’x11’ screened porch offering beautiful breezes and long-distance views. The home has a metal roof.

Outside, the property is designed for both work and recreation. The 40' x 30' garage includes an 18' x 15' insulated workshop, 60-amp 240-volt breaker for a future EV charging hookup, second-floor storage, and a 40' x 10' lean-to. There is a 40-amp receptacle on the house. Fenced pasture, a private pond, a large garden, a chicken coop, and a small barn/shed create an ideal hobby-farm setup for horses, sheep, chickens, and more. The sellers would even like to include Scarlet, their beautiful pedigreed horse with many registrations, and four sheep with the sale, offering a truly unique opportunity to embrace a ready-made rural lifestyle all located within 5-miles from Viroqua within the Pheasant Run organic community subdivision. (Sellers are willing to sell separately the tractor and implements in a separate Bill of Sale.)
