Property Description

Located a short drive northeast of Fergus Falls, on County Road 1 and a township road, this diverse Otter Tail County property gives you the opportunity to build, hunt, farm, and recreate all in one package. Properties like this can be difficult to find close to Fergus Falls. It's small enough to remain affordable, yet large enough to give you plenty of options. Couple the size with the location, price, buildability, and hunting potential, and I think you'll be hard-pressed to find a better value on the market. For starters, the property is made up of three key components: open field, mature woods, and low grassy willow cover. The timber includes mature oak, aspen, basswood, and other species, while the northwest corner provides the type of thick bedding and security cover whitetails love. One thing that really stands out when you study the aerial is how the timber creates a natural funnel. Deer traveling east to west or north to south have to move through this property if they want to stay in cover. Add agricultural fields bordering the property to the north and west, an alfalfa field on the south portion of this property, bedding cover in the northwest corner, and water on the property, and you have food, water, bedding, and security cover all working together. An extensive trail system is already in place, providing good access throughout the property and allowing you to slip in and out quietly. The layout sets up well for both bow and rifle hunting, and this area is known for excellent deer and turkey hunting. Access is another plus. You can utilize the existing easement access shown by the purple line on the property map, or there is potential to establish your own access directly from the township road. If building is part of your plans, this could make an excellent location for a future home while maintaining a quick commute to Fergus Falls. Build your home, manage the acreage, and have the ability to hunt right out your back door. Or simply keep it as a recreational and hunting property and enjoy everything the land already offers. Affordable acreage close to Fergus Falls with mature timber, agricultural ground, established trails, build potential, and a legitimate hunting setup doesn't hit the market every day. If you've been looking for an Otter Tail County property that offers a lot without requiring you to buy a massive tract of land, you need to check this one out.
