About this property
Brigham Farmhouse- Driftless Wisconsin Gem
Enjoy your stay at an historic farmhouse located in the Driftless Region of Wisconsin. This unique property boasts the claim to be the "oldest farm in Dane County" and is located between the Cave of the Mounds and Brigham Park, in Blue Mounds. Hiking, biking, birdwatching and lots of exploring are some of the past times we enjoy here. You'll love this peaceful retreat whether you are an extended family, long time group of friends or just looking for a quiet getaway.
The Farmhouse sits on 25+ acres and is quite private. The original Brigham Farm included Brigham Park and Cave of the Mounds, both of which are adjacent to this property and are easily accessed. In fact, you will receive FREE tickets to visit the Cave when you book with us!
An extension of the Military Ridge Bike Trail runs along this property, so it's great for bike rides and evening walks! Additionally, we have a diverse population of song birds, so you will love hanging out on the big front porch or hiking nearby to spot and listen to their music! Be sure to bring your binoculars!
Blue Mounds State Park is less than a 3 min drive and Mount Horeb is a 7 min drive with shops, food and more outside fun! The west side of Madison is only a 20 minute drive, great for day trips or just dining. In the surrounding area we have so many destinations to explore... Mineral Point's art galleries, New Glarus' historic village and brewery, Spring Green's riverfront and American Players Theater. There are wonderful wineries, golfing and shopping locally as well!
You will have access to the entire house and grounds, and you will receive FREE passes to Cave of the Mounds for each guest staying at the property! The Garage is off limits, but there is ample outside parking for multiple vehicles.
Other things to note
This property is uniquely set up for wheelchair accessibility and can accommodate folks that don't want to deal with stairs. We have a King Bedroom Suite on the 1st floor with a full, accessible bath and screened porch right off the kitchen. There is a large living/ dining great room, study and very big front porch all accessible on the 1st floor. The sidewalk leading around the house to the patio with fire table and grill is also easily accessible.

Why they chose this property
This home is owned as part of a larger property managed by the Brigham descendants that operate of the Cave of the Mounds. It has special historic significance to this area and I am thrilled to be able to represent this home and share it with you.
What makes this property unique
This home is tucked away on a beautiful parcel of land that feels very private, yet is so close to many nearby small towns and only 20 minutes to west Madison. You will enjoy incredible views of the surrounding area, especially from the spectacular front porch. The Home was built in 1903 by Claude and Stark, prolific Wisconsin architects of the time. The house features extra large original windows letting light flow through the rooms and many other special feature throughout the house. Once here you will know why this home is so special.
