Updated Two-Story Farmhouse on 5 Acres in Sauk County
$599,000
North Freedom, Wisconsin sits in the rolling terrain of Sauk County — solid farmette country, with an updated two-story farmhouse that's had a recent price adjustment to bring the conversation back into range.
At $599,000 in Sauk County farmette country, the recent price adjustment is what opens this one back up — a move-in-ready two-story farmhouse on 5 productive acres, ready for whatever a new owner brings to it. Karen Judd with Judd Realty LLC has the listing.
Homestead Potential
Water & Infrastructure
Wisconsin properties of this kind typically rely on a private well — buyers should confirm depth, yield, and water quality before closing, and walk the full 5 acres for any seasonal creeks, springs, or low spots that could support a future pond.
Crop & Income Potential
At 5 acres, there's real room for a kitchen garden, a few fruit trees, and pasture for small livestock, scaling up to a genuine grazing or hay operation if the land and zoning support it. Buyers should walk the property to assess how much is open versus wooded.
Sustainability
A home of this size and age has its own heating and cooling profile worth asking the seller about directly. With 5 acres to work with, there's flexibility to add a wood-management plan, solar array, or rotational grazing system over time.
The Boundaries
Buyers should get a current survey to confirm exact property lines, especially on rural parcels where older deeds can be imprecise. Zoning should be confirmed directly with the county for any specific plans involving livestock, outbuildings, or further subdivision.
Beyond the Property Line
Local Flavor & Small-Town Character
North Freedom is home to the Mid-Continent Railway Museum, a living-history steam railroad that's been running vintage train rides since 1963. Nearby Baraboo hosts the Sauk County Fair each July, a full week of livestock judging, 4-H exhibits, and carnival rides.
Agricultural Resources & Neighbor Networks
The Reedsburg Farmers Cooperative has supplied feed and farm goods to the area since 1912, and equipment dealers like Koenecke Equipment and McFarlanes' are both a short drive away. A Blain's Farm & Fleet in Baraboo rounds out the everyday farm-supply options.
Outdoor Recreation & Natural Surroundings
Devil's Lake State Park — Wisconsin's most-visited state park — sits in the Baraboo Hills just south of town, with roughly 30 miles of trail, 500-foot quartzite bluffs, and a stretch of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail. Parfrey's Glen, the state's oldest designated natural area, is right nearby too.
