Turnkey Hunting Camp or Permanent Residence in West Central MN!
Here’s an opportunity for those interested in having a hunting camp on their own land or a permanent residence in the wildlife-rich western region of the state. The property is located approximately two miles south of Madison and lies in the middle of the extensive tributary creek corridor that ultimately feeds into the West Branch Lac qui Parle River.
This is "Prairie Country," and when it comes to whitetail habitat, large, low-lying, thick cattail sloughs are often the most critical component for providing seclusion and bedding. This property offers an abundance of such habitat throughout its core which includes smaller pockets of open water to attached waterfowl. Pheasants? It all comes down again to habitat. With the mixture of thick wintering cover, adjacent upland prairie nesting cover, food plots, adjacent cover in the area and ag. fields to the North and South, all of the components are in place to allow for great opportunities at birds throughout the season.
Additionally, approximately 69.38 acres are enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and have been restored to native prairie. The CRP contract runs through September 2029 and provides an annual payment of approximately $11,938, paid each fall.
The seller has also reserved about 5.5 acres, divided across three areas, specifically for food plots. Finally, the property includes just over four acres of woods near the farm site, offering further diversity and habitat options.
Speaking of the farm site, as you'll see from the aerial images, it is located at the end of a dead-end road, offering exceptional privacy and seclusion. The property features an updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home (with additional rooms that could be used as bedrooms if desired), complete with an updated septic system, propane heat, and central air conditioning. The seller currently has the home rented to individuals who take excellent care of the property and are prepared to vacate upon sale.
In addition to the home, there are multiple outbuildings, including a two-car garage measuring approximately 25' x 20', and a larger approx. 50' x 30' three-stall garage/workshop. The barn, approximately 50' x 30' with an attached lean-to, offers even more functional space. Inside, a separate entry room is already set up, making it ideal for use as a bird or game cleaning area.
There are also a couple of horse stalls in place, which may be of interest to equestrian enthusiasts. Alternatively, the stalls and lean-to area could easily be converted into a dog kennel or additional storage space.
So much more to say about this diverse and proven wildlife producing property. So again, whether you’re interested in making memories at your own hunting camp or looking to make the move to the country, this is a great opportunity!
