A beautiful retreat located just 95 minutes north of the Twin Cities is waiting to be built. It offers a rare mix of high ground, rolling lowland, and winding Snake River frontage. The Snake flows through the property, creating a naturally scenic setting and a prime wildlife corridor known for attracting deer, waterfowl, turkeys, and other native species. This is an excellent opportunity for hunters, nature lovers, or anyone seeking a peaceful escape. A newly graveled driveway paired with a township road that is maintained straight to the river, including a low water crossing, makes this property easy to love year round. This property is enrolled in a forestry program that pays your taxes every year and still allows you to build the style of home you desire, whether that may be a cabin or a luxury home within 200 feet of the river. You decide when and where you want to harvest the trees. The program even partially reimburses you, for the cost of planting new trees, should you want to diversify the forest. The owners appreciated the advice from the forest service about which species will thrive and what native species will look for. Walk the trails and breath in seasonal changes. Build a fire ring at the waters edge, and don’t forget to take photographs as the ever- sticky fingers reach for another s’more. Outdoor recreation has never been easier. The gentle, sloping shore makes for smooth boat or canoe launches. The Snake River is known for its beautiful canoe/ kayak routes. Workout at your own pace with a trip all the way down to Hinkley or float with the current while looking at the clouds. Take your little one straight down to the shore to catch their very first fish. 119 acres to explore, early ephemerals including bloodroot, and trout lilies lead the way in early spring followed by trillium, mayflowers and wild ginger. Bring your favorite mushroom expert and discover the species available. Listen to the magic of ruffed grouse as they thump out their mating calls on fallen logs. Listen to the slap of a beaver’s tail as she warns her young ones of intruders. While whitetail deer are common, don’t be surprised if a mama raccoon scampers past or wood ducks build their nests nearby. Imagine your grandchildren owning this preserved forest as you work to ensure it reaches the 100 year mark. Whether you are looking for a hunting property, weekend camping getaway, or a future building site, this property offers a unique blend of recreation, privacy, and natural beauty while still conveniently located. Don’t just dream the dream…build it.
