3.2 Acre Homestead w/2br 1ba Home in Central WI - $70,000

We are selling our 3.2 acre homestead in May 2023 outside of Mondovi, WI. It's half wooded with old growth black locust (excellent firewood and rot resistant) and half open pasture for goats, sheep, chickens, a cow, or some kids. There is an 8x8 chicken coop, a 12x12 goat shed with milking area, and a small buck hut for two goats. We rotate goats on the open pasture with electric netting and free-range chickens. There are five heavily composted garden beds throughout the property. In the past 3 years, we've planted elderberries, hazelnuts from New Forest Farm, roses, sea buckthorn, strawberries, and apple trees.

The home is a 2br 1ba 1980's trailer home and needs work. We live in it currently, but it's in rough shape and would probably need to be seen before being purchased. It comes with functional well/pump, septic, electricity, LP furnace, electric water heater, LP tank, and internet. We could remove the trailer from the property if needed.

We're about 30 minutes from work and a food co-op in Eau Claire, WI. Beautiful views, quiet neighbors, and amidst a small but growing community of like-minded farmers.

The property needs to be financed as land - they won't lend on the trailer since it's not tied to a permanent foundation. It's on a packed gravel pad. This hasn't been listed on the MLS yet because we're giving Permies first dibs, but will be listed in May 2023. This would be a great starter farm with lots of potential. We love it. We're asking $70k.

Please reach out for more photos or info.

We're moving to SW Missouri. Anyone know anyone out there?
Thanks!

In rough ballpark terms, what are your LP and electric bills annually?

This is a beautiful part of WI.  Unglaciated hills and rivers/streams.  Lots of terrain but it looks like your site is flatter which is nice.  Lots of potential, wish it was about 100 miles closer to me...

Christopher, the winters can vary from one year to the next, but LP costs to heat the place to 70*F run between $1k and $1,200 annually. Our LP company will spread the cost out into a monthly payment if need be. Electricity costs about $115-130/month without A/C. We keep our family of four comfortable in our place, so those costs would be less if you're a single person with a mind for frugality I'm sure.

And we are definitely right at the northern part of the Driftless region of Wisconsin. We're right in the flight path of many migratory birds (30 miles from Mississippi River.) There is a creek that runs year round just a short walk up the road, and we're surrounded by bluffs. Lots of wildlife but few predators - it's nice!

I will try to post more photos later today.

I and my wife, are just beginning our homestead journey [next month] on our 5 Acre property just outside of Versailles Missouri..

You mentioned moving to SW Missouri..   Are you able to be any more specific as to the area, or nearest city, without disclosing precise location [so as to maintain some level of privacy and/or safety for your family].

Additionally, could I inquire what your reasons are for asking?  
Is your family looking to MOVE TO Missouri and looking for other Homesteaders to stay with?
Looking for purchase a property of your own?
Looking for like minded friends?
Looking for help, additional bodies/friends to help you develop a newly purchased property of your own?
or any other number of motivations....

If you could clarify what & why, then us or others, would better be able to determine if we're able to help..

And if not too personal of a question:   What's the reason for your family moving from WI to MO?  

I (40) and my wife (30), own our 5 acres of Paradise [property] just outside of Versailles, MO and are open to inviting a young family (NO singles individuaLs, we want couples/family's only) onto our property.  

Hello, I am looking at properties in that area and would like to network with you. I have a small family and we want to join or start a homestead.
