Home Sweet Wisconsin

Post by Sir Henry » Thu Feb 17, 2022 9:42 am

I closed on a new home on Valentines Day in Price County in Wisconsin. It’s a modest farm house in a rural picturesque setting.

This telephoto picture from 1995 was taken from Timms Hill and was used in a magazine article. The property was a Christmas tree farm for decades. It’s now mostly hay fields.

I pulled in yesterday in my motor home and had to wait a few hours while the sellers loaded up a van. They gave me a lot of information on the house. The previous owners before them are long term residence and are my neighbors to the west. They lived in the house and remodeled it about 15 years ago. They are in their upper 80’s and want to sell the hay fields around the house. I’m in the mood to buy more land.

There are several places where I can build a shooting range. I’m told no one will hear me. The area is very remote with about eight people in a square mile. Last night I looked out windows on all four sides and could not see a single light from a house. Across the field is an old school house and farm building that is owned by the neighbors and will be for sale this spring.

These pictures were taken last fall.

What a gorgeous house and setting. I'm sure you'll love it. Congrats, Gene. Not sure how close you are to Park Falls, which is in your county, but Park Falls is home to St, Croix rods. The company has a nice fishing store right there in Park Falls.

I’m about 40 miles south of Park Falls, 27 miles north of Medford which is the nearest town of 4,000. Ogema has a population of 181 in town and the post office serves about 850 people. The nearest cup of coffee is 5 miles away.

On the way in I saw several gun store signs.

When I visited you in 2017 I drove across US8 and thought this would be a wonderful place to live. The entire north woods is heaven on earth.

I’m within walking distance of the Ice Age Trail. Timms Hill is 1,700 feet away. I plan on exploring as much of Wisconsin as I can. Either in my teardrop, on foot or ski’s or snowshoes.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Beautiful... Miss Tina and I would love a place like that except too many stairs and too cold. :D. If the neighboring town is home to St. Croix fly rods... I'm guessing the fishing is good up your way. Now I'm really :mrgreen: . Shooting, fly fishing, and peace and quiet... Score!

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
