Property Description
This 160+/- acre hunting property located in Pennington County, Minnesota offers a strong combination of habitat diversity, productive soils, and private access that appeals to both recreational buyers and land investors. Positioned approximately 15 miles west of Thief River Falls and about 38 miles northeast of Grand Forks, this tract sits in a highly regarded area just south of Carpenters Corner known for excellent whitetail deer, upland game, and waterfowl hunting.
The property is primarily composed of high ground, providing excellent usability across the majority of the acreage, with a few restored, well-placed lowland pockets that enhance wildlife habitat. These lower areas feature cattails, willows, and reed canary grass, creating natural moisture-holding environments and dense cover that wildlife depend on throughout the seasons. This blend of high ground and wetland habitat is highly desirable for buyers searching for Minnesota hunting land that can support multiple species.
The upland portions consist of native grasses, brush, and popple thickets, forming thick bedding cover ideal for whitetail deer. This type of security cover plays a critical role in holding deer during daylight hours and creating consistent hunting opportunities. The surrounding landscape further strengthens the property's appeal, with large agricultural fields located to the north and south that provide reliable food sources, encouraging steady wildlife movement through the area.
A standout feature is the adjoining 160 acres of landlocked state land to the east. This additional habitat includes thick cover of brush, and timber, effectively expanding the bedding area and creating a larger block of cover. This neighboring parcel enhances the overall hunting potential by supporting increased wildlife density and movement patterns.
The property is enrolled in a perpetual RIM easement along with a 30-year Wetland Reserve Program easement, supporting long-term habitat preservation and conservation. Importantly, the owner has left several key areas out of the easement, allowing for practical use and improvement. Approximately one-half acre is excluded in both the northwest and northeast corners. In addition, a 50-foot strip runs along the entire south boundary and a 25-foot strip runs along the west boundary. These areas can be used for food plots, tree planting, trail systems, and permanent stand locations. The property also allows for parking a camper during hunting season, making it functional for extended stays.
Access is provided by a Class 5 private easement from the south off a county road. This deeded easement leads directly into the southwest corner of the property, offering reliable and private entry. For a tract focused on cover and seclusion, established legal access is a valuable feature that supports ease of use.
From a land quality standpoint, the soils are a major highlight. The property consists primarily of fine sandy loam soils, including Rollis loam, Voller loam, and Grimstad fine sandy loam. These soil types are known for their fertility and productivity, contributing to an average crop productivity index of approximately 80.5. This level of soil quality supports healthy vegetation and provides excellent potential for food plot development within the excluded areas.
The property has been surveyed, and boundary markers are in place, giving buyers confidence in the defined acreage and property lines. This adds value for both immediate use and long-term ownership.
With its combination of high ground, wetland habitat, fertile soils, adjoining state land, and deeded access, this Pennington County property offers a well-rounded opportunity for hunting and recreation. Whether you are targeting whitetail deer, upland birds, or waterfowl, or looking for a manageable and productive recreational tract, this property is set up to deliver.
Priced at $700 per acre, this is a competitive offering for Minnesota hunting land.
