Description
This 290-acre property in Becker County, Minnesota, offers a sizable tract enrolled in the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), located in a region known for its waterfowl, pheasants and whitetail habitat. The property is situated in a secluded but accessible location with good access. It features a mix of restored wetland habitat and thick native cover, including willow thickets and native grasses, providing high-quality bedding areas and security cover for wildlife. The South Branch of the Wild Rice River flows directly through the property, offering both natural water sources and enhanced habitat diversity. This water feature supports a wide range of species and increases the hunting and recreational appeal of the property. The river corridor creates natural movement routes for game, while the cover provides ample bedding and browsing opportunities for deer and other wildlife. Take one look at the drone photos and you will see the countless trails the deer have created transitioning from their bedroom to the agricultural fields. When walking the property it wasn't hard to follow a deer trail throughout the property and they definitely call this property home with all of the surrounding agricultural fields. Because of its WRP status, the land is protected from development and cannot be used for crop production or permanent structures. However, recreational activities like hunting, wildlife observation, and habitat management are allowed within the terms of the easement. The dense vegetation and water features make this tract a viable option for individuals seeking a recreational property focused on waterfowl, pheasants, and deer hunting. Pheasant numbers in the area keep improving and there is no doubt that this thick cover will hold the pheasants when they aren’t in the nearby fields feeding. The property is straight north of the Hamden Slough National Wildlife Refuge which is one of the best duck refuges in the area that holds a great number of ducks. The waterhole on the property could provide some epic duck mornings when the migration pushes through. Whether you're looking to enhance wildlife habitat, enjoy seasonal recreational use, or invest in a sizeable tract of protected land in northwest Minnesota, this property offers many attributes that are hard to find in one parcel.*290 total acres enrolled in Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP)*South Branch Wild Rice River runs through the property*Thick willow and native vegetation provide quality bedding cover*Excellent habitat for whitetail deer, waterfowl, and upland birds*Conservation value with long-term habitat protection
