Rare opportunities like this do not come along often, especially in southeastern North Dakota. This exceptional 317± acre recreational and hunting property in Sargent County offers a combination of premier whitetail deer hunting, pheasant and waterfowl habitat, quality fishing opportunities, annual CRP income, and extensive lake frontage on beautiful Ole Breum Lake. Located near Rutland and approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes from Fargo, this property provides the ideal balance of seclusion, accessibility, recreation, and long-term investment potential.

One of the property's most impressive features is its more than two miles of shoreline along Ole Breum Lake. Large tracts with this amount of lake frontage are extremely rare in North Dakota. The expansive shoreline creates outstanding wildlife habitat while also providing exceptional recreational opportunities. Whether you enjoy fishing, boating, wildlife viewing, or simply relaxing outdoors, the lake serves as a centerpiece that enhances every aspect of ownership.

Ole Breum Lake has been stocked with walleye by North Dakota Game and Fish over the years. They have also completed netting surveys demonstrating a healthy and productive fishery. Anglers can enjoy fishing directly from the property or launch a boat privately from the southern portion of the tract. A public boat ramp is also conveniently located on the northern end of the lake, providing additional access options.

The hunting opportunities are equally impressive. This area of Sargent County has developed a strong reputation for producing quality whitetail deer, and the property's history reflects that reputation. Harvest history demonstrates the area's ability to consistently produce mature bucks. The combination of CRP cover, food sources, wetland habitat, and travel corridors creates an environment that supports healthy deer populations throughout the year. The property is also eligible for up to two gratis deer tags, adding significant value for qualified landowners.

Beyond deer hunting, the area is well known for exceptional pheasant and waterfowl hunting. The property's blend of habitat types creates ideal conditions for upland birds and migrating waterfowl. Several sloughs provide excellent waterfowl habitat, while the CRP acres offer critical nesting and upland cover. Four established food plots further enhance wildlife utilization and provide additional hunting opportunities throughout the season.

Approximately 123.5 acres are enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program, generating an annual income of $15,939 through September 30, 2032. This reliable income stream helps offset ownership costs while maintaining high-quality wildlife habitat. Importantly, the property is not currently enrolled in any additional wildlife easements, providing flexibility for future ownership objectives.

A hunting cabin with electricity and propane service offers immediate accommodations for hunting trips and fishing weekends. Rural water is available nearby, creating additional opportunities for future improvements. The cabin provides a base camp today while also allowing buyers to envision future expansion plans.

The property's accessibility is another major advantage. Owners and guests can travel primarily on hard-surfaced roads, with only the final half-mile requiring gravel road access. This convenient location allows for easy travel from Fargo and surrounding communities while maintaining the privacy and peaceful setting that outdoor enthusiasts seek.

In addition to its current recreational value, the property may offer future development potential. The combination of extensive shoreline, scenic views, nearby utilities, and proximity to Fargo creates a compelling opportunity for those considering a future lake cabin, family retreat, or long-term investment. Large lakefront holdings with this level of recreational diversity are increasingly scarce, making this a property that stands out from virtually anything else available in the region.

If you have been searching for a property that combines trophy whitetail hunting, pheasant hunting, waterfowl opportunities, productive fishing, annual income, lake access, and future development potential, this Sargent County property deserves serious consideration. Few properties in North Dakota can offer deer, pheasant, waterfowl, and walleye opportunities all tied together by more than two miles of lake shoreline. This is a truly unique opportunity to own one of the area's most diverse recreational properties.
