Established Cranberry Operation With Recreational Opportunities

Located in Monroe County, in the heart of Wisconsins cranberry country, this property presents an opportunity to acquire an established cranberry operation with significant acreage and recreational value. The combination of an operating cranberry marsh, existing infrastructure, expansion potential, and an on-site residence makes this a property worth considering for someone looking to enter the cranberry business or expand an existing operation. The property includes 43.45 acres of established cranberry beds that are currently contracted with Ocean Spray. Most of the beds are planted in Stevens cranberry vines, with several beds planted in a high-producing hybrid variety. The marsh has established irrigation systems in place, including automatic frost protection that turns the sprinklers on when temperatures fall below a predetermined point.

There is also room to expand the existing cranberry operation by adding additional beds. This provides an opportunity for an established grower to increase production or for a new operator to build upon an existing operation rather than starting from the ground up. Some equipment used in the cranberry operation will convey with the sale. A complete list of equipment included with the property can be provided upon request. Approximately 411 acres are included with the property, providing substantial recreational opportunities beyond the cranberry operation. The property supports deer, turkey, and bear, while the marsh, reservoirs, and surrounding habitat provide excellent waterfowl hunting.

The main floor features in-floor heat, while the basement offers additional unfinished space that could be finished for another bedroom, living area, office, or other use.
