Description
Every once in a while, I get the opportunity to list a property that is difficult to describe. This 161.7± acre property in Otter Tail County is one of those properties. Quite honestly, this is one of the best all-around recreational properties I've had the privilege of listing. I've walked a lot of hunting and recreational land over the years, and you would be hard-pressed to find another property that checks this many boxes in one package. For starters, the terrain and habitat are simply outstanding. Rolling hills covered with mature oak timber transition into food plots, ponds, lakes, open ground, and pockets of thick cover. The diversity makes the property incredibly enjoyable to explore, but more importantly, from a hunting standpoint, it creates the food, water, bedding cover, travel corridors, and edge habitat that wildlife needs. The deer hunting potential is tremendous. Multiple destination food plots have already been established, along with smaller killing plots strategically positioned throughout the property. Several enclosed hunting stands are also in place, giving you a great head start from day one. Combine those improvements with the rolling terrain, mature timber, water, and natural transitions, and there are hunting opportunities throughout the property. And the trail camera history backs it up. This property has produced pictures of quality bucks and has all the ingredients necessary to consistently hold deer. Turkey and black bear are also found in the area, and the combination of water and upland habitat creates additional opportunities for waterfowl and pheasant hunting. It is rare to find one property that can offer this many different hunting opportunities. Then there is the water. Multiple ponds and lakes are located on or associated with the property, creating a recreational component that takes this tract to another level. Larson Lake offers excellent fishing, and I'm not exaggerating when I say there have been times I've been out there when it seemed like we caught a fish nearly every cast. Bass and perch provide plenty of action, whether you're seriously fishing or simply spending an afternoon on the water with family and friends. A brand-new pontoon with a 60 HP motor and trolling motor is included, along with a brand-new pier and dock system. That means the next owner can start enjoying the lake immediately instead of spending the first year getting everything set up. Another interior pond or small lake is shared with only one adjoining landowner. It currently holds minnows and appears to offer enough depth that there may be potential for additional fish management in the future, subject, of course, to applicable Minnesota regulations and cooperation with the adjoining landowner. One of the other ponds is currently being utilized for raising shiners. Under the existing arrangement, the owner receives shiners for personal use along with hunting access to the adjoining 40 acres. That is a unique arrangement that adds another interesting element to an already diverse property. The infrastructure here is another feature that really stands out to me. Power has been trenching throughout most of the property, water lines have been run throughout most of the property, and there is an existing well. Those improvements would be expensive and time-consuming to recreate from scratch and open up a number of possibilities for the next owner. Several excellent building sites are located throughout the acreage, whether your plans include a hunting cabin, recreational retreat, or year-round residence. Access is also excellent, with frontage along both Highway 210 and County Road 47. Having multiple access points on a property of this size can be extremely valuable, not only for everyday use but also when considering hunting access, wind direction, habitat management, equipment, and future building plans. What I appreciate most about this property is that you don't have to choose between great hunting and great fishing. You don't have to choose between mature timber and water. You don't have to choose between a recreational property and a place with legitimate building potential. It's all here. Spend a fall morning chasing whitetails among the mature oak ridges, an afternoon fishing Larson Lake, and an evening overlooking a food plot. Hunt turkeys in the spring, fish throughout the summer, chase waterfowl or pheasants when the seasons open, and enjoy the property throughout the entire year. With 161.7± deeded acres and approximately 162.85± GIS acres, there is enough ground here to manage habitat, establish multiple hunting setups, enjoy the water, and still have room to make the property your own. Pictures and aerial maps will certainly get your attention, but I truly believe this is one of those properties you need to experience in person to fully appreciate. The rolling terrain, mature oaks, water, wildlife, established improvements, and overall beauty of the land are difficult to capture in a listing. I've had the privilege of walking and selling a lot of great recreational properties, and this one stands out. If you're looking for a premier Otter Tail County hunting and recreational property that offers outstanding whitetail habitat, fishing, multiple water features, mature timber, established food plots, infrastructure, and several potential building sites, you will be hard-pressed to find another property that offers this much in one package.
