This 107± acre Wadena County property offers a rare combination of quality timber, excellent wildlife habitat, and a unique piece of Minnesota forestry history. The property is home to the site where the Minnesota DNR State Forest Nurseries' one billionth tree seedling was planted on April 21, 2009, a milestone commemorated with a dedicated sign still standing on the property today. For the current owners, this distinction has been a source of real pride, and it gives this tract a story that few properties in the state can claim. Beyond its historical significance, the land itself offers strong timber and habitat value. A mix of red pine and jack pine covers much of the property, interspersed with lowland and wetland areas that create thick, natural bedding cover, ideal conditions for whitetail deer and other wildlife looking for undisturbed cover close to a diverse food and water source. The pines carry great harvest potential for the future, giving a new owner both recreational value today and a timber asset to manage or harvest down the road. On the west side of the property, a trail system doing double duty as a firebreak wraps around the pine stands, providing easy access for management, hunting, or recreation while also helping protect the timber. In the northeast corner of that same west side, there's a strong natural opening well suited to a food plot, an ideal spot to draw and hold deer traffic within easy reach of the surrounding cover and bedding areas. The property is enrolled in Minnesota's Sustainable Forest Incentive Act (SFIA) program, with three acres carved out of the covenant, giving a buyer some immediate flexibility outside the program's restrictions while the balance of the land continues under its current forest management commitment. Access is excellent, with the property reached directly off County Road 7. Whether the draw is the timber, the wildlife habitat, or simply owning a piece of Minnesota conservation history, this property offers a well-rounded package for a hunter, timber owner, or recreational land buyer.

Located just south of Nimrod in the heart of Wadena County just west of the Crow Wing River, you'll find this outstanding 240± acre recreational and hunting property that offers everything needed to create an incredible hunting property for years to come. One thing I really like about this property is that it isn't just one type of habitat. The front portion has been well developed and is ready to enjoy with an established trail system, food plots, enclosed deer stands, and a comfortable base camp. The back portion of the property has been left largely untouched over the years, creating a true sanctuary where wildlife can live with very little pressure. With a little work opening up additional trails and access, the back of this property could become an exceptional hunting area while still maintaining the security cover that helps mature deer reach older age classes. The habitat throughout the property is exactly what serious hunters are looking for. Mature oak timber, thick bedding cover, transition areas, low ground, and several wooded islands create outstanding diversity and provide excellent habitat for whitetails, black bear, wild turkey, grouse, and countless other wildlife species. Those wooded islands tucked into the low ground are exactly the type of places mature bucks like to spend daylight hours. The deer hunting in this part of Wadena County speaks for itself, and this property has all the ingredients needed to consistently hold and attract quality deer. Add in excellent bear hunting, a healthy turkey population, and good grouse hunting, and you have a property that offers something to look forward to during nearly every season. The improvements make this property comfortable to enjoy right away. There are two small cabins that provide a great place to stay during hunting season or weekend getaways. A garage, well, septic, and power gives you the conveniences needed for extended stays, while multiple enclosed deer stands are already positioned and ready for use. Another feature that makes this property especially attractive is that it borders over a thousand acres of public land to the east. Much of that public ground is difficult for the average hunter to access, giving the next owner additional opportunities to hunt and explore while enjoying the privacy of owning a large block of land. Finding 240 contiguous acres in this area is becoming increasingly difficult. Finding one with this combination of habitat diversity, improvements, wooded islands, established hunting infrastructure, and room to make it even better is even more uncommon. Whether you're looking for a property to hunt immediately, improve over time, or create a place where family and friends can gather for generations, this property offers an incredible opportunity. With a little vision and some additional habitat work, it has the potential to become one of those properties that only gets better with time. This is truly a property that needs to be seen in person to appreciate everything it has to offer.
