Located in northern Beltrami County near the Fourtown area, this 80-acre tract offers a combination of seclusion, accessibility, and diverse wildlife habitat. The property sits at the end of a quiet dead-end road, providing a private setting for hunting, recreation, or a future seasonal retreat. It is surrounded on three sides by thousands of acres of state land, offering additional public access for hunting and outdoor exploration.
The land consists primarily of high ground with well-drained soils and patches of lower bedding areas that provide excellent cover for wildlife. The timber is a healthy mix of mature and younger growth aspen, with several scattered oak trees throughout the tract. This variety in vegetation supports a range of game species and contributes to strong habitat diversity.
An established trail system runs through the property, providing convenient access to key hunting areas. These trails were recently trimmed and mulched, making them suitable for walking, ATV use, or hauling equipment to stand locations. Several stand sites are already in place, and areas have been cleared that would work well for food plots or shooting lanes.
In the southwest corner, a small opening marks the site where an old cabin once stood. This location offers a level area suitable for parking a camper, setting up a fish house during the off-season, or planning a future build site. A drainage ditch along the southern boundary provides a consistent water source for wildlife and contributes to the overall habitat quality.
The property shows abundant signs of deer activity, including rubs, fresh scrapes, and well-traveled trails. It is located within Minnesota’s deer zone 111, which allows for three weekends of rifle season, and also within bear zone 12. This area is well known for healthy populations of whitetail deer, black bear, grouse, and other game species, offering varied hunting opportunities throughout the year.
To the south, the property borders agricultural land, creating a natural transition zone that attracts wildlife moving between food and cover. Minimal hunting pressure in recent years has allowed game to use the property freely. In addition to hunting, the property’s proximity to major fishing destinations such as Upper Red Lake and Lake of the Woods makes it a strong choice for those who enjoy both hunting and fishing pursuits.
Essential amenities and services are within reasonable driving distance. The Fourtown Store and Tavern is about 7 miles away for basic supplies and food. The town of Grygla lies approximately 18 miles to the northwest, while Thief River Falls is about 45 miles away and offers larger stores and supplies. Bemidji is roughly 74 miles to the south, and Lake of the Woods is about 54 miles to the north.
This Beltrami County tract offers a well-rounded recreational opportunity with the combination of hunting, habitat diversity, and nearby lakes for fishing. Whether used for seasonal recreation or as a long-term land investment, this property offers a private setting and a range of outdoor uses supported by its location, access, and surrounding public lands.
