Congregation of Sisters of St. AgnesCounty: Fond du Lac
Lot Size: 236.946 Established: 1/18/2022 |
The Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes have been the stewards of this property for over 150 years and with finishing the conservation easement with GLC, they know this land will be preserved in perpetuity. Not only is there a Motherhouse on site, but there are also four hermitages that can be rented for those who seek the God within and who are pursuing comfort in the stillness, solitude, and quiet that can be found amidst nature. With conservation being at the forefront of the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes mission, they are advocates of green energy with their installation of solar panels on the property.
The 236.946 acre property consists of productive agricultural lands, dry mesic woods, and forested wetland areas along with the dry mesic woods on the escarpment. Multiple uncommon ecological communities are found on the Niagara Escarpment which was formed by rocks originally deposited as lime mud on an ancient sea floor about 430 million years ago. The donation by the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes preserves for future generations approximately 340 feet of this unique land formation in Fond du Lac County. Water seeps from the Escarpment creating two streams that flow down through the property, towards Lake Winnebago.
