United Country Midwest Lifestyle
Properties and United Country Hunting Properties are proud to present this exceptional
74+- acre recreational property located near Melrose, in one of western Wisconsin's most desirable land corridors.
This property represents the type of offering that experienced land buyers actively wait for -- a tract that combines exclusive water access, diverse terrain, proven big-game history, and multiple access locations into a single, highly functional tract..
Exclusive Water Access - A Rare Competitive Advantage
A defining feature of this property is its private access to Stevens Lake, a secluded backwater tributary connected to the Black River system. This controlled-access water feature adds substantial recreational, aesthetic, and wildlife value.
The backwater environment provides:
Fishing opportunities for panfish and other warm-water species
Kayaking and canoeing through calm, scenic waters
A year-round water source and travel corridor for wildlife
Exceptional privacy rarely found with river-adjacent properties
Properties offering private access to backwater lakes and river systems consistently rank among the most sought-after recreational tracts in Wisconsin.
Proven Trophy Huntingr Property
This land is located in a region known for strong whitetail genetics, and the property itself carries a proven history of trophy-class whitetail deer, along with healthy populations of turkeys, waterfowl, and the occasional black bear. The habitat diversity and topography naturally support mature deer movement and consistent daylight activity.
Terrain transitions from brushy riverbottom flats to rolling bluff country, featuring deep, timbered ravines that provide thermal cover, secure bedding, and natural travel corridors. The timbered acres are a balanced mix of mature hardwoods and pine, creating excellent edge habitat and year-round cover.
Three Drive-In Access Points - Superior Functionality
Unlike many recreational tracts, this property offers three separate drive-in access locations, along with an established maintained atv trail system that significantly enhances huntability and long-term usability. Multiple access points allow for:
Strategic entry and exit based on prevailing winds
Increased multi purpose usability
Flexible use for hunting, recreation, and land management
Improved efficiency for future habitat improvements
This level of access control is a hallmark of high-quality recreational tracts..
Build Sites & Long-Term Versatility
In addition to recreation, the property offers multiple potential building sites, including elevated locations that provide scenic views across the surrounding countryside. Whether envisioned as:
A private hunting cabin
A recreational getaway
A full-time residence
...the property's layout allows for development without compromising privacy or the integrity of the hunting experience.

Fishing and kayaking on Stevens
Lake and connected backwaters
Hiking through wooded ridges, ravines, and woodland trails
ATV/UTV use for recreation and property management
Wildlife viewing, photography, and nature enjoyment
The diverse landscape ensures year-round engagement and usability.
