N4227 Christopher Rd, Rio, WI 53960-9599 For Sale

This remarkable 40-acre country estate in the Town of Lowville Columbia County WI offers the rare opportunity to own a beautifully designed home, premium outbuildings, and highly functional recreational land all in one turnkey package. Whether your dream is chasing whitetails, building a family legacy, running your hobbies from home, or simply enjoying the peace that only country living can offer—this property delivers.

Set at the end of a private quarter-mile blacktop driveway, the 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath Craftsman-style home was built just 8 years ago with thoughtful upgrades and long-term comfort in mind. Offering 2,634± finished square feet, the home features an open-concept main level with a spacious kitchen, large living room, quartzite countertops, stainless appliances, LVP flooring, mudroom/laundry, and a beautiful primary suite complete with walk-in shower and double sinks.

The finished lower level is built for entertaining and everyday living with in-floor heat powered by a separate boiler, two additional bedrooms, a large rec room, and a full kitchenette/bar area—perfect for hosting hunting camp weekends, family holidays, or overflow guests.

The home is equipped with a whole-home generator, air exchanger, forced air Trane furnace with central AC, on-demand hot water heater, constant pressure well pump, at-grade septic, lawn irrigation, water softener, spray-foamed box sills, and a low-maintenance metal roof. New gutters and downspouts with leaf guards round out the exterior improvements.

For those who need serious shop space, the 48x64 fully insulated and infrared-heated garage is in a class of its own. Featuring two overhead doors, trench drains, dog wash station, bathroom with urinal and toilet, reinforced concrete for a future car lift, commercial dehumidifier, and 220 outlet, this building is ideal for collectors, hobbyists, dog owners, hunters, or anyone who believes garages should work as hard as they do.

The additional 42x62 Cleary building offers 16-foot ceilings, a 12-foot overhead door, spray foam insulation, concrete floors, floor drain, and excellent storage for tractors, equipment, campers, boats, or future expansion.

The land itself is where this property becomes truly special. The open area could also be home to a cattle or horse pasture. If your searching for a little hobby farm this one could be easily converted into that.

Approximately 12 acres are currently established in warm season grasses, switchgrass, and wildflower plantings—creating exceptional bedding cover, pollinator habitat, and strong wildlife value. Roughly 25 acres of mature woods provide excellent deer movement, natural travel corridors, and hunting opportunities. A wildlife pond adds both beauty and functionality, supporting year-round wildlife activity. Whitetail deer are frequent visitors to the backyard, and the property offers excellent potential for food plots, expanding the trail system, stand locations, and long-term habitat management.

This is the kind of place where opening morning starts with coffee in the mudroom and ends with stories in the heated shop.

Located just 30 minutes from Sun Prairie and Dane County Airport, you get the peace of rural Columbia County without giving up convenience.

Properties like this rarely come available—where luxury country living, serious outbuildings, and legitimate hunting ground all meet on one parcel.
