Description
This 1,020± acre property, located just a few miles north of Aneta in Nelson County, North Dakota, presents a rare opportunity to own a highly versatile tract of land combining strong agricultural production, established improvements, and exceptional waterfowl habitat. Positioned in a well-known farming and hunting region, this property offers both immediate usability and long-term investment potential.
Approximately 700± acres are currently in tillable production, providing reliable income potential. The layout of the farmland supports efficient operation, and the soils in this region are known for consistent productivity. Whether you are an operator looking to expand your row crop acres or an investor seeking income-generating land, this property offers a solid agricultural foundation.
The balance of the acreage features natural habitat, wetlands, and water sources that significantly enhance the recreational value. This area lies within the Prairie Pothole Region, widely recognized for producing strong waterfowl hunting opportunities. Multiple sloughs and water features throughout the property create ideal conditions for ducks and geese, especially when paired with nearby food sources from the tillable acres.
Water is a defining feature of this tract. The presence of consistent and well-distributed water sources helps attract and hold birds throughout the migration season. The layout of the land also provides multiple locations well-suited for establishing a private duck hunting setup. There are areas that lend themselves to the development of hunting blinds or pits, allowing for strategic placement to maximize hunting success. This property offers the scale and habitat diversity to support a private duck club concept with room for multiple hunting locations.
In addition to hunting potential, the property offers income diversification opportunities. The existing home and outbuildings provide a functional base for farming operations or a hunting headquarters. The home could also be utilized as a short-term rental for hunters and anglers visiting the area, creating seasonal income potential. The proximity to productive farmland, wetlands, and regional fishing opportunities increases its appeal for outdoor recreation guests.
The property includes a home and multiple outbuildings, providing immediate infrastructure for farming operations, equipment storage, or recreational use. There are also multiple locations across the acreage suitable for additional building sites, offering flexibility for future improvements or expansion.
A significant advantage is that none of the land is currently enrolled in government programs. This gives the next owner complete flexibility to explore conservation programs such as the Water Bank Program or Wetlands Reserve Program. These programs can create additional income streams while enhancing habitat quality and long-term land value.
Access to the property is convenient and supports year-round use. Its proximity to Aneta provides access to basic services while maintaining a rural setting. Larger service hubs such as Devils Lake and Grand Forks are within reasonable driving distance.
This Nelson County property offers a balanced combination of income-producing farmland, premium hunting habitat, and existing improvements. It is well-suited for buyers looking to invest in North Dakota land with multiple revenue opportunities, including agriculture, recreation, and potential lodging income.
