Welcome to Eagle’s Ridge!
Julie and I have been dreaming about living in the country or smaller town for over a decade. We never dreamed we would find a piece of property that captured our heart and soul like this land. On the Apple River in Western Wisconsin, Eagle’s Ridge provides spiritual, mental and physical healing for us as we listen to the river gurgle over rocks and watch eagles soar overhead.
Join us on this journey as we create Eagle’s Ridge, a place to gather as we learn, do, grow and be a little better each day.
