Description

Properties of this size, diversity, and seclusion are becoming increasingly difficult to find in Southern Minnesota. Located less than 10 miles south of Owatonna, this 121.93+/- acre recreational property offers a rare combination of hunting land, fishing water, river frontage, income-producing acreage, and a comfortable cabin retreat all tucked away from public roads.

At the heart of the property sits an approximately 1,100-square-foot A-frame cabin featuring 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, a loft, and an attached two-car garage. Built on a poured concrete slab, the cabin provides a comfortable place to enjoy the property throughout the year. A wood-burning fireplace creates a warm gathering space during the colder months, while the forced-air propane furnace helps maintain comfort year-round. Recent updates include a new septic system installed in 2023 and sized for a two-bedroom home, along with a newer refrigerator.

One of the property's standout features is the approximately 11-acre stocked pond located directly in front of the cabin. Morning coffee on the dock overlooking the water may quickly become part of your daily routine. The pond supports a variety of fish species, including walleye, bass, northern pike, bluegill, sunfish, and other panfish. Whether you enjoy casting from shore, fishing from one of the three docks, or drilling holes for ice fishing in winter, there is no shortage of opportunities to enjoy the water.

Waterfowl hunters will appreciate the pond's ability to attract ducks and geese throughout the migration seasons. Combined with the surrounding habitat, the property offers exceptional recreational opportunities well beyond fishing alone.

The land itself is equally impressive. Approximately 31.03+/- acres are enrolled in tree CRP, creating income potential while also enhancing wildlife habitat. The remaining acreage features a great mixture of timber, native grasses, lowland cover, black walnut trees, and diverse edge habitat that supports strong populations of whitetail deer, wild turkey, and other wildlife.

Several established deer stand locations are already in place, and a well-maintained trail system provides access throughout the property. Whether traveling by ATV, UTV, horseback, snowmobile, or simply hiking, the trail network allows you to explore nearly every corner of the property.

Adding even more appeal is over 5,600 feet of frontage along the Straight River. Riverfrontage of this scale is uncommon and provides additional wildlife habitat, scenic views, fishing opportunities, and a unique landscape that changes with every season.

A 24' x 36' pole building offers valuable storage space for equipment, hunting gear, boats, tractors, ATVs, and other recreational necessities.

The owners say they will miss the peaceful evenings overlooking the pond and the feeling of being completely disconnected from the outside world while still being only minutes from Owatonna. It is uncommon to find a property where you can hunt deer in the morning, fish for walleye in the afternoon, watch waterfowl work the pond in the evening, and enjoy a fire in the cabin at night.

Located in Steele County, this property offers the privacy many buyers seek without sacrificing convenience. With no road frontage and a setting hidden from public view, it delivers a level of seclusion that is difficult to duplicate. Whether you are looking for a weekend getaway, recreational retreat, hunting property, future home site, or a place to create lasting memories with family and friends, this property is one you have to see in person.
