Property Description

Located in Wabasha County just north of Plainview, south of Theilman, and southwest of Kellogg, this 161.4+/- acre property offers a rare combination of timber, habitat diversity, recreation, and potential building opportunities in a highly sought-after area of Southeast Minnesota. Properties of this size and layout are becoming increasingly difficult to find, especially those with limited road exposure, excellent wildlife habitat, and secluded direct access from a township road. The property consists of approximately 140+/- acres of timber and roughly 20+/- acres that could be utilized for agricultural production, food plots, and habitat improvements. A well-established trail network winds throughout the property, providing convenient access to many areas by ATV, UTV, hiking, snowmobile, or horseback. Several established food plots are already in place, helping support the area's strong deer and turkey populations. Middle Creek flows through the center of the property, creating an attractive travel corridor for wildlife while adding character to the landscape. The creek is seasonal at times, but it contributes to the diverse habitat found throughout the property. The terrain features a blend of ridges, valleys, benches, and natural funnels that create numerous opportunities for hunting, wildlife observation, and outdoor recreation. The topography and layout of the land make it hunt way larger than the deeded acres. Hunters will appreciate the area's strong reputation for producing mature whitetails and healthy turkey populations. In 2019, a neighboring property to the south harvested a buck that scored just under 224" non-typical, highlighting the area's reputation for quality deer. Multiple elevated blinds and ladder stands will remain with the property, allowing the next owner to immediately enjoy the upcoming season. The surrounding landscape consists of large timber blocks, agricultural fields, and limited public access points, creating favorable conditions for wildlife movement and security cover. Adding to the recreational appeal, approximately 230+/- acres of state-owned land adjoins the northwest corner of the property. Access into portions of that public land can be challenging, which, if hunted, pushes deer deep onto this property. A snowmobile trail also crosses the property by permission, allowing you the opportunity to ride directly from your own land and connect to the regional trail system. This is not an easement, so the next owner doesn't need to allow it if they don't want to. For those considering a future cabin or home site, access is entered through the northeast corner from a township road. Subject to local approvals and permitting requirements, this area offers an attractive location for a future building site overlooking the surrounding landscape. Imagine enjoying morning coffee while watching wildlife move through the property or spending evenings around a campfire after a day spent exploring or working the land. The timber composition provides a healthy mix of species and seasonal interest. According to the seller, the property is also known for abundant wild ramps, making it appealing to those who enjoy foraging and gathering natural foods. Owners say one of their favorite aspects of the property has been the feeling of privacy and the ability to experience all four seasons from a single piece of land. Whether your interests include hunting, hiking, snowmobiling, wildlife observation, foraging, camping, or pursuing a future building opportunity, this property offers a diverse recreational experience in the heart of the Driftless Region. The combination of timber, creek corridor, trail system, wildlife habitat, and convenient location near Plainview and Kellogg creates an opportunity that is increasingly difficult to duplicate in today's market.
