2797 Lalor Road

Eighty acres of protected woods, prairie and spring-fed water, five and a half miles from the Wisconsin State Capitol. Mornings begin with mist lifting off Swan Creek as it runs under the five bridges that give the farm its name; afternoons wander four miles of private trail beneath the oak grove and past willows leaning over the water. Homesteaded in 1837 and placed under a perpetual conservation easement in 1999, so its woods, fields and open views stay as they are. Four original buildings (c. 1837-1843)restored, six modern ones added with the same care: a 2018 residence designed by John Seamon, built from walnut and maple milled here; a 12,605 sq ft riding arena with stalls, paddocks, tack and feed rooms; studio barn and workshop; Martini Barn; machine shed; and a tree house in the north woods. Thirty-seven acres of woods, fifteen of pasture, ten of meadow. Private well and septic. Plans drawn for an attache garage, new entry elevator.
