Description
Located just north of Gonvick in Clearwater County, Minnesota, this 160± acre farm offers a versatile combination of productive agricultural land, livestock infrastructure, updated farmstead improvements, and outstanding recreational opportunities. Whether your goals include crop production, haying, cattle operations, hunting, or rural living, this property provides a well-rounded opportunity in an area known for productive soils and abundant wildlife. The property includes approximately 144.73 FSA farmable acres, with the majority currently utilized as hay ground and managed pasture. Approximately 70 acres are planted to Timothy grass along with other hay varieties, while the remaining pasture consists primarily of Birdsfoot Trefoil and other forage species that provide quality grazing for livestock. There are currently no rental agreements in place, providing open tenancy for the 2027 growing season and allowing the next owner flexibility for future farming or leasing plans. The land is predominantly high and well-drained with minimal wetland acreage, making it well-suited for agricultural production. The soils consist primarily of Rollis loam, Foldahl loam, and Strathcona fine sandy loam, resulting in an impressive average Crop Productivity Index (CPI) of approximately 82. These productive soils are suitable for small grains, hay production, forage crops, or the potential return to row crop production, depending on the buyer's operation and management goals. Livestock producers will appreciate the existing cattle infrastructure already in place. The pasture is divided into eight fenced paddocks, each ranging from approximately 9 to 12 acres, utilizing three strands of barbed wire with an additional hot wire. The current setup is capable of supporting approximately 30 to 40 cow/calf pairs under current management practices. Water distribution has been thoughtfully designed with a new well pump, underground pipeline servicing multiple paddocks, and a Ritchie livestock waterer. A cattle barn provides additional shelter and operational convenience. The property also offers excellent recreational opportunities throughout the year. Two in-ground goose pits have been strategically placed and installed and are protected with overhead garage doors while not in use. The surrounding agricultural landscape creates favorable conditions for migrating waterfowl, while nearby habitat supports healthy populations of whitetail deer, black bear, wild turkey, and upland game birds. The property is located within Minnesota Deer Permit Area 209 and the No Quota Bear Zone, making it attractive for hunters seeking a property with diverse hunting opportunities. The farmstead occupies approximately 6.75 acres and includes a well-maintained 1,532 square foot farmhouse featuring three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Over the years, the home has received numerous updates and improvements that enhance both functionality and comfort. Improvements include updated windows, steel roofing, vinyl siding, remodeled bathrooms, updated kitchen finishes, vinyl flooring, a spacious mudroom, and a welcoming three-season front porch. Inside the home, you'll find a functional floor plan with a kitchen featuring a center island, natural woodwork, nine-foot ceilings, main floor laundry, a propane fireplace, central air conditioning, and a spacious main floor primary suite complete with a walk-in closet and private four-piece bathroom. The unfinished basement also includes a sauna, providing additional amenities for year-round enjoyment. Supporting the farm operation are numerous well-maintained outbuildings, including a 40 x 80 pole barn, 30 x 40 shop, single-stall detached garage, cattle facilities, and multiple storage buildings/lean- toos that provide ample space for equipment, livestock, hay storage, and workshop needs. One of the property's standout improvements is the 22-kilowatt Generac backup generator, which is capable of powering the entire farm during electrical outages, providing added reliability for both residential and agricultural operations. The farmstead is situated well back from the county-maintained road and accessed by a long private driveway, creating separation between the residence and roadway while allowing convenient year-round access. The location offers the benefits of rural living while remaining within easy driving distance of area communities. Gonvick and Clearbrook provide everyday services, schools, dining, and shopping, while the regional centers of Bemidji and Thief River Falls are less than an hour away. Whether you're searching for a productive farm, an established cattle operation, a rural residence with quality infrastructure, or a property that combines agriculture with excellent hunting opportunities, this Clearwater County offering provides a diverse set of features ready for its next chapter.
