Hunting Land and Farms: Minnesota: Fillmore County

Farms like this are extremely rare.  Nearly 320 acres isolated at the end of a dead end road overlooking the Root River Valley.  There are no public roads cutting through this property and the majority is hidden from public view.  The Root River parallels the entire north boundary of this parcel creating a perfect natural barrier.  The closest public road to west is nearly a mile away.  There are nearly 80 acres of tillable ground along with some additional pasture.  The ridgetop consists of a grass & cedar savannah which makes for incredible wildlife habitat.  There is also large pond on top the ridge which appears to hold water throughout the year.  The topography offers all sorts of bumps, benches and small ridges for game to hide.  There also several hidden meadows that would make ideal food plot locations.  The woods consists mainly of giant oaks and a high percentage of cedars.  The area surrounding Rushford has a long standing history of producing giant bucks.  An added bonus is nearly 300 ft of river frontage.   A turn of the century build site is nestled on a bench that offers sweeping views of the surrounding bluffs and fields.  The historic farmhouse and traditional dairy barn are representative of farmsteads of this era.  A 58x52 steel building with concrete floor offers plenty of storage for both toys and equipment.  Within easy pedaling distance of the Root River State Bike Trail and a myriad of other river activities including tubing, canoeing, kayaking and fishing.  Convenient location just outside the city of Rushford, 45 minutes to Rochester, 20 minutes to Winona and 30 minutes to La Crosse.
