Mille Lacs County, Minnesota – Land For Sale | A rare opportunity to own 140.7 contiguous acres of professionally managed recreational land in Mille Lacs County. Comprised of two 70+/-acre parcels, this exceptional property offers a unique combination of mature timber, productive farmland, quality wildlife habitat, multiple income opportunities, and outstanding building potential for a dream home, hunting lodge, or private cabin retreat.
The diverse landscape features rolling hardwoods, native prairie, seasonal wetlands, several ponds, established clearings, and approximately 25 acres of productive tillable ground. Mature oak, maple, popple, conifers and other native tree species provide excellent cover and timber value. Corn and soybean rotation borders the east side, while organic alfalfa and grasses border the west, creating outstanding food sources for wildlife.
A professional Woodland Stewardship Plan and extensive Deer Management Plan are already in place, outlining future opportunities for food plots, conifer plantings, prairie restoration, edge feathering, fruit trees, stand locations, trails, travel funnels, water hole improvements, mock scrape sites, and more. Current trail cameras continue to capture regular wildlife activity. Southern access is ideal for hunting with the area’s predominant north and northwest winds.
Wildlife is abundant, including whitetail deer, turkey, black bear, grouse, pheasants, and small game for legal game species known to be on the property. During wetter periods, the seasonal ponds attract ducks, geese, swans, and pelicans.
A logging contract is available for the buyer to assume, with an estimated return of approximately $50,000. Trees selected for harvest and invasive species have already been professionally marked to improve long-term forest health and wildlife habitat. Portions of the property are enrolled in the Manage2 conservation program for property tax savings, and eligible acreage may qualify for enrollment in the Sustainable Forest Incentive Act (SFIA), providing an estimated annual income of $1,400 to $2,500. The approximately 25 acres of tillable land are currently rented by a local farmer, creating additional income potential.
Approximately 400 white spruce seedlings were planted one year ago and have an estimated 95% survival rate. Please use extreme caution and care while touring western and southern edges, as many of the young trees are hidden within the grasses. These have been planted to eventually block views and create more thermal cover habitat for wildlife
A road approach is already established along the southern boundary. Electric is available at the road, with an existing electrical service located between the eastern agricultural fields, providing flexibility for a future home, cabin, hunting headquarters, or outbuilding.
