Lot Features

Ride the Ridges in Mount Horeb’s Driftless Paradise in your own backyard. This 180 acre property includes a stunning 2.8 mile "figure 8" trail through the driftless area.
Discover the untamed beauty of the Driftless Area where the glaciers never touched and the landscape still tells ancient stories. Tucked into the rolling hills of Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, this rare geological treasure offers a riding experience like no other.
Unlike the flat prairies of the Midwest, the Driftless region is a tapestry of dramatic ridgelines, deep valleys, bubbling springs, and lush hardwood forests. Picture winding trails that follow the curves of the land, opening up to sweeping views of patchwork farmland and sandstone bluffs.
Whether you’re winding through shady hollows or cantering along sunlit ridge tops, every trail ride here is a journey through nature’s untouched masterpiece. The well-drained soil and varied terrain make for year-round riding that’s as enjoyable in autumn’s blaze of color as it is in the quiet hush of spring.
Mount Horeb adds its own charm, with its warm Norwegian roots, local farm markets, and friendly trail communities. Saddle up in the Driftless. Ride where the glaciers missed and the magic remains.
