Welcome to 26756 Husman Ridge Rd, a rare opportunity to own 259.5± acres in the heart of Southeast Minnesota's bluff country near scenic Pickwick. This premier farm offers an exceptional mix of recreation, income potential, and natural beauty that’s hard to match in today’s market. With 83.7± acres of productive cropland, 71.91 acres enrolled in CRP through September 2025, and an additional 11.79 acres of rented tillable ground, this property provides reliable ag income with open tenancy starting in 2026.
The timber on this farm is incredibly diverse and has been thoughtfully managed over the years. You’ll find mature walnut, red and white oak, hickory, and strategically placed conifers that provide thermal cover and year-round wildlife habitat. The property features three well-placed ponds, multiple food plots close to bedding ridges, and a layout that offers ideal access for hunting. With southern top access and deep valleys running east, west, and north, the terrain sets up perfectly for cruising bucks in the rut and gobbling toms in the spring. Miles of well-maintained trails make it easy to navigate every corner of this farm by foot, ATV, or side-by-side. A hunting lease is currently in place for the 2025 season, with the lease open for 2026 and beyond—offering a future opportunity for personal use or continued income.
This property is not only a dream for hunters, but also a paradise for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts. Just minutes from the renowned Pickwick Mill and Trout Run Creek systems, the area offers excellent trout fishing in crystal-clear coldwater streams. The Mississippi River, with its world-class fishing, boating, and waterfowl hunting, is also just a short drive away. Located only 15 minutes from downtown Winona, 30 minutes from La Crosse, and just over an hour from Rochester, this property offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience.
Improvements on the property include a charming 1,920 sq ft farmhouse built in 1925. This 3 bed, 2 bath home features a four-season porch, a dedicated office space, a beautifully updated kitchen with granite countertops and tile flooring, a hardwood staircase, and a geothermal heating system installed in 2012. The home is powered by a 90-foot solar array and is connected to high-speed fiber internet. Additional updates include a new roof in 2022 and new siding in 2002.
Supporting the residential and farming infrastructure are multiple functional outbuildings, including a 64x40 pole building, a 50x30 pole building, and an 80x35 barn complete with a hay loft and milk house—ideal for storage, equipment, or hobby farming operations.
This farm also includes two additional living spaces that offer flexibility and income potential.
