Description
Rare Driftless Region Gem with 9,000+ Ft of Root River Frontage – Minutes from Lanesboro
Just six miles east of the charming town of Lanesboro lies a truly one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a premier parcel in the heart of Southeast Minnesota’s Driftless Region. With more than 9,000 feet of Root River frontage and the famed Root River State Bike Trail crossing the northern edge of the property, this tract is as scenic as it is versatile, offering exceptional recreational access, habitat diversity, and natural beauty rarely found in one place.
This land is a multifaceted retreat, perfectly suited for building your dream home, hunting, fishing, biking, kayaking, or simply enjoying the peace and solitude of riverside life. The winding shoreline spans over 1.7 miles, providing endless opportunities for trout fishing, paddling, or soaking in the views along the riverbank. The property is rich in wildlife, with abundant deer sign, well-used bedding areas, and ideal habitat for turkey and other game, making it a dream location for hunters and conservationists alike. The current owners and friends enjoy springtime morel mushroom hunting as well.
A varied landscape of timber, thick cover, rolling terrain, and productive river bottom is complemented by CRP acres, ridge top time, and thoughtfully designed tree plantings that enhance both wildlife habitat and long-term land value. A trail system grants access all the way to the bluff top, allowing easy exploration by ATV, UTV, horseback, or foot.
Adding to its uniqueness, the Root River State Trail runs directly through the north end of the property, which is one of Minnesota’s most iconic bike routes, connecting you directly to Lanesboro’s vibrant downtown filled with art galleries, shops, restaurants, and trout-filled streams.
Whether you're looking to build a private riverside estate, establish a legacy hunting property, or secure a recreational haven with lasting investment value, this property checks every box. Tracts of this size, quality, and location with significant river frontage are exceptionally rare. This is a true crown jewel of the Driftless Region—and a chance to own something truly special. The seller may consider splitting the land.
