The space:
Secluded, private, and spacious, the farmhouse can accommodate up to10 people. Children and pets are very welcome, but need to be attended while outside.
The two downstairs bedrooms are newly remodeled and have large closets. The upstairs main bedroom has a new private bathroom and a large walk-in closet (with a fainting couch and a window, it is listed as the 4th bedroom). The living room is a north side addition with two couches plus a queen futon couch. There is a formal dining area, downstairs full bathroom, utility sink, laundry area, attached "mini" green house, enclosed back porch, dedicated work space, and a large kitchen. The kitchen has a "Hoosier" style unit with open shelves for guests to store food items that they bring. The refrigerator is spacious and has a freezer. There is a counter top microwave. There are dishes, cups, wine glasses, utensils, flatware, as well as pots and pans, a cookie sheet and some baking dishware. A toaster, electric griddle, blender, and coffeemaker (with coffee and filters) is provided.
The new self igniting gas grill with grilling utensils and hot pads is located on a cement pad outside the back door. There are folding camp chairs to use in the spacious backyard around the fire-pit. Local firewood is provided. For people with mobility issues, the back porch door provides easier access to the house than the front door, which is on the deck.
Guest access:
The property is easily accessible from Tomah, Sparta, or the village of Norwalk. Cty. Hwy. T north of Norwalk has marvelous views and leads to Jigsaw Road, which is a dead-end road. The road sign for Jigsaw is missing, so using GPS is a good idea, so you don't miss it! Drive .4 miles on Jigsaw to Jean Avenue, which is on the right. 4-wheel drive is not necessary as the township maintains Jean Avenue, which leads directly to the house. There is adequate parking for several vehicles as the driveway circles the old windmill.
Other things to note:
The farmstead also has a silo, barn, shed, and other out buildings. A second house on the property has recently been bulldozer (winter of 2022), and the remaining site is off limits to guests.
Guests should not enter the old barn, machine shed, or other buildings on the property.
However, there are acres of meadows and woods along with a large fenced yard and neat pine grove, all awaiting exploration!
The ranch has paid hunting leases for deer and turkey season, so the woods would not be suitable for hiking during this time of year. There may be tractors and farm machinery planting and harvesting corn during the growing season in the corn fields acreage.
