Hunting Land and Farms: Minnesota: Houston County

This is one of the finest deer hunting properties to hit the market in Minnesota.  Located in the heart of Houston County, which is one of the top-rated trophy whitetail counties in North America.  This farm combines just about every element one needs to consistently produce and hold top end bucks as well as provide the highest quality hunting experience.  This parcel is situated in the center of a 5,500 acre section with no through roads.  It has 3 different quarter mile long easement access points and it has no public road frontage or visibility from public roads.  The entrance to the farm is from the east which is perfect for prevailing westerly winds.    There is top access to three different ridges.  You own both sides of a valley that is over a half mile long with 250 ft of elevation & terrain change including all sorts of draws, points, bumps and flats.  This central valley has been managed as a sanctuary for many years and soaks up deer like a sponge throughout the season.  There are approximately 50 acres of tillable and the property encompasses almost the entire perimeter of the 35 acre ridgetop field on the west.   As you traverse the field edge when making your way around this property you encounter all kinds of different pockets, points and bays.  The crowned tops on the ridge fields have enough elevation change so that visibility is reduced making it easy to sneak around the edges without spooking the entire field.  6 different year-round food plots have been established and managed for wildlife.  3 different ridgetop ponds were created to better attract and hold wildlife.  A quick look the trail cam pics and collection of shed antlers combined with the harvest history shows what this place is consistently producing.  A well-maintained trail system provides access to all critical areas of the property.  The 50x90 steel building has an 18 ft ceiling, 16 ft doors, is roughed in for plumbing and the concrete floor was poured extra thick for heavy equipment.  There are 3 deeded easements which include 2 separate 33 ft wide easements that allow for 2 potential build sites and  a third hunting and ag use easement which provides easy access to the northeast corner of the parcel.  The property is approximately 15 miles from LaCrosse, 70 miles from Rochester and 130 miles from Minneapolis or St Paul.
