About This Property

This 88-acre recreational hunting property in Buffalo County, Wisconsin offers a rare opportunity to own productive wetland habitat near the Mississippi River corridor. Located on XX Cesler Valley Rd in Alma, WI, this tract features lowland swamp ground, wetland cover, and timbered road frontage—ideal for buyers seeking duck hunting, late-season deer movement, trapping, and year-round outdoor recreation.

While this property isn’t a traditional Buffalo County ridge-top whitetail farm with ag fields and bluff views, it delivers something just as hard to find: functional waterfowl habitat and swamp country hunting in one of the Midwest’s most significant wildlife regions.

Hunting & Recreation Opportunities

Duck Hunting & Waterfowl
The property is located just minutes from the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife & Fish Refuge, one of the most important waterfowl migration corridors in North America. This region supports an estimated 40% of the continent’s ducks and geese during migration, with large numbers of mallards, teal, scaup, and tundra swans staging in the area.

The swamp ground and wetland cover on this parcel provide excellent opportunities for seasonal duck hunting and blind placement, especially for hunters targeting backwater and low-pressure habitat.

Deer Hunting
This is not a classic Buffalo County whitetail farm—and that’s exactly what makes it appealing to the right buyer. Thick swamp cover and lowland terrain create security bedding and travel corridors, particularly during late season when hunting pressure pushes deer out of agricultural areas. Hunters willing to adapt to lowland and edge-cover strategies can find this type of habitat extremely effective.

Trapping & Year-Round Use
The marsh and wetland environment offers strong opportunities for muskrat, raccoon, beaver, and other furbearer trapping. With close proximity to both the Buffalo River and Mississippi River, additional fishing, boating, and recreation are just minutes away.
