The drive in says it all! A long, tree-lined driveway leads to this custom-built 3-bedroom, 3-bath home, privately set on 40 beautiful acres in the Town of Shields. Built in 2003, the home offers soaring ceilings, big windows, two fireplaces and incredible countryside views. The kitchen features Viking appliances, with laundry hookups on both the main and lower levels. HVAC and water heater replaced in 2018, plus a whole-home generator for added peace of mind. Approximately 20 acres are currently leased for agriculture, while the remaining acreage offers a scenic mix of trees, open land and manicured grounds. A pole barn provides excellent storage, and the tractors are negotiable. Private, peaceful and truly special Wisconsin country living!
