Rural and Rooted

These small villages on the western and southern edges of the county offer some of the most accessible price points in the region, with the land, quiet, and breathing room that rural Wisconsin does best.

Oakfield, population just over 1,000, is an agricultural village with deep limestone history and a community spirit that has held strong through generations. Brandon, originally nicknamed "Bungtown" at its founding in 1856, is a quiet community rich in local history.

Rosendale -- named for the wild rose bushes found in a dale near the original town site -- sits conveniently at the crossroads of Highways 23 and 26, ten minutes from Interstate 41, and is home to the historic Sisson's Peony Gardens.

School district assignments vary by village and are worth confirming by specific address if schools are a priority.

A great fit for buyers looking for acreage, wide open space, and the kind of neighborly small-town life that is increasingly hard to find.
