Kickapoo Valley Ranch for Sale!

The original Ranch House homestead

After 4 1/2 years in the luxury guest accommodations business, the Kickapoo Valley Ranch LLC, the Midwest's premiere Western guest Ranch, is closing its doors and is up for sale. 

This is an amazing opportunity for the entrepreneurial spirit looking for adventure!  Perfect as a guest ranch, mini-resort, corporate retreat center, youth camp, or to be developed as time shares or condominiums.  The 30+ acres parcel of diverse land is one of the few “sanctuary” properties in the entire Midwest.  Surrounded on three sides by an 8,600 acre forest preserve which is also adjacent to the 3,500 acre Wildcat Mountain State Park, recreation in the area abounds.  World class trout fishing.  Some of the best canoeing, hiking, biking and trail riding in the United States.  Winter recreational opportunities include snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.   

The possibilities for the new owners are endless.  Eight custom-built, individual cabins are set at the top of the property with views that stretch for miles.  Quiet, peaceful & serene; you will be amazed at the attention to detail that went into the construction and furnishing of each cabin.  This is luxury at its finest.  The original homestead built in 1889, is currently used as the owner’s personal residence and offices.  The 1750 square foot "Ranch house" has a large living & dining room, office/den, three bedrooms, one full bath and a lofted attic bedroom open to the living room.   The Ranch house would make a great common lodge, dining hall or retreat center.   

Also found adjacent to the Ranch house is an additional 1300 square foot three bedroom guest house, a Colorado style barn with a 500 square foot gift shop, a 60' x 120' metal pole shed with wrangler's office & large heated tack room and two garages (one with an extra room above!)  The property is entirely fenced (no barbed wire) with several turn out paddocks that include covered horse shelters.   

The property is available "turn key" with cabins, guest house & gift shop fully furnished & ready for the new owners.  The gift shop just needs your own mix of merchandise.  The Ranch's name, logo & promotional materials would also be available if new buyers are interested.  This could be the chance of a lifetime!  Questions on purchasing the Ranch?  Would you like to set up a private showing?  Contact our broker, Kathi A. Irwin at 608.735.4400 or email at kathiirwin@yahoo.com.  Property is shown by appointment only; no potential buyer will be afforded the opportunity to roam the property without an appointment.  Please, no "drop-in's." 

Purchase Price: $1,900,000.00
