Log Home for Sale in Vernon County Wisconsin

The original part of this civil war era log home is believed by the sellers to have been built by the original settler - Hans Johannsen in 1860. After several well-intentioned recreations, the current owners uncovered the original 19th century walls, ceilings and floors. In 2003, they installed a new roof, added new updated windows into the original window openings and made upgrades to the plumbing & electrical. The result is a home with 19th century charm plus 20th century conveniences. 

The kitchen's wood burning cook stove stands seamlessly next to modern day appliances. The warmth of the living room’s wood stove spills into the den/bedroom and keeps propane heating costs down. The upstairs bedrooms are spacious and each has its own full bathroom. This home has central heat as well as central A/C.

These 39.25 acres (more or less) allow for hunting, hiking, pasturing animals, gardening and much, much more. Every season in this valley brings its unique beauty and living experience. A stream, beginning at what the sellers have named “Turtle Falls”,  runs through the length of the property and eventually runs into Timber Coulee Creek becoming a class 1 trout stream about one mile away. There is also a spring in the pasture area.  A short walk up the hillside from the home is a cabin with approximately 460 square feet of living space that includes its own kitchen. Heated by a wood stove and electric heater, this cabin can be enjoyed throughout most of the months of the year.

This country home is located off the road for privacy and yet just a few miles from Westby in the ever popular Timber Coulee area between La Crosse and Viroqua. Timber Coulee is known not just for its trout streams, but is the home of the Westby Snowflake ski jump and golf course.
