Mount Horeb, WI 53572

Available to the market for the first time in 139 years is The Thompson Farm, a multigenerational farm lying on the outskirts of Mount Horeb Wisconsin. The Thompson Farm has traditionally been used for the production of cattle, crops, and timber. With the ever-growing expansion of Dane County and Mount Horeb, it provides a prime development opportunity given its strategic location and exceptional characteristics. The land is comprised of 54 +/- total acres, lying on the north side of Highway ID approximately 1 mile west of Mount Horeb. The acres consist of 18 +/- tillable acres, 34 +/- pasture acres, and 2 +/- wooded acres. Currently there are separate lease agreements in place for the tillable acres and pasture acres. The tillable acres feature a 51.3 NCCPI rating along with flat topography, excellent drainage, and easy field access. The remaining acreage is comprised of excellent cattle pasture featuring a spring fed creek, new 6-strand barb wire fencing, and a fantastic mix of shade and grass. A future timber harvest may be possible to provide revenue to the future landowner. There is a stand of black walnut throughout the pasture / timbered acres in the northern portion of the property. A timber cost basis can be provided upon request. The property is currently zoned A1EX, which is an agricultural zoning. The development potential this property holds is truly one of a kind. Possible types of development include commercial, residential, or a corporate campus just to name a few. Situated just west of the fast-growing Village of Mount Horeb and in the Village's school district, fire department, and utilities area. The property offers excellent visibility from Highway ID providing a 7,900 average daily traffic count. Current road access is provided on the west side of the property off North Road with an open-ended road construction agreement with township. On the east side, another access point exists via a deeded easement from Highway ID. Electric, natural gas, and fiber optic utilities are available off of Highway ID. The tillable acreage bordering Highway ID on the south side of the property would provide exceptional opportunity for commercial development. Highway ID is in the commercial corridor of the township, which desires development. In addition, this area of the property is among the flattest topography available for development in the area, according to sources advising the Thompson family. This area provides exceptional road frontage and visibility for future businesses, as well as opportunities for sign revenue. Another possible development option would be for residential country-estate style homes. The north side of the property (the pasture area) is partially wooded, providing privacy and magnificent vistas of the Blue Mounds rolling hills which would provide fantastic locations for country-estate style homes. 4 residential density units are available for the property per the township clerk. The location of the property would be ideal for residential development as it's conveniently close to downtown Mount Horeb and a short drive to Verona, Epic, and Madison. Additionally, the township may allow a bed and breakfast, Airbnb, or a home with side business subject to appropriate approvals.
