160 Acres in Parkers Prairie, MN - $530,000
Located just south of Parkers Prairie and a short drive north of Alexandria, this property lies in the Prairie to Woods QDMA area, which is known to have high numbers of deer as well as producing big whitetails year after year. In addition, it is just inside of the rifle zone west of Highway 29. Not only is the area in which this property lies a key feature, but the sheer size of having roughly 145 contiguous acres of rolling oak dominated woods is rare and something that really needs to be seen to appreciate. There are multiple topographic funnel areas/travel routes, pinch points, trails and the list goes on. There is a very minimal amount of wetland on the property but just enough small areas spread out in the right locations across the property to provide water sources.

Located just south of Parkers Prairie and a short drive north of Alexandria, this property lies in the Prairie to Woods QDMA area, which is known to have high numbers of deer as well as producing big whitetails year after year. In addition, it is just inside of the rifle zone west of Highway 29. Not only is the area in which this property lies a key feature, but the sheer size of having roughly 145 contiguous acres of rolling oak dominated woods is rare and something that really needs to be seen to appreciate. There are multiple topographic funnel areas/travel routes, pinch points, trails and the list goes on. There is a very minimal amount of wetland on the property but just enough small areas spread out in the right locations across the property to provide water sources. The balance of the land is grassland that has had some areas of planted trees, which would be ideal for conversion to some prime larger food plot areas. Along with this, and as you can see by the zoomed out aerial included at the end of the photos, the property also is a part of a much larger complex of wooded habitat cover that is surrounded by agricultural land. Within the timber, there are multiple isolated and secure food plot areas that have been established and make prime ambush spots when that buck of your dreams hits these prior to nightfall as he makes his way out to the larger ag fields. There is also an extensive trail system established throughout the property to allow for easy access to whatever stand site you may choose. The property will also hunt very “BIG” given the topography and will provide the opportunity for stand sites further back in the timber for those longer or all day sits. Access will be easy up closer to camp for shorter sits. Deer aren’t the only game species on the property - there are high numbers of turkeys as well as some grouse to pursue. Looking for a property with established living quarters? “The Shaque” as it’s dubbed was built in 2008 and is as far away from being what it is called as it can be. Many individuals could comfortably stay in its roughly 2,400 sq. ft. footprint. One bay could be continued to be utilized as a heated garage/shop, a nice living room area, full bathroom, kitchen with tons of storage, back mechanical room/bedroom and then another bay of the building that has vaulted ceilings and one could easily make this into a loft/bunk room. There are too many amenities of “The Shaque” but some of the key ones are as follows: 2 x 6 exterior wall construction, Icynene spray foam insulation (exterior and interior walls as some with traditional sprayed insulation in ceiling), 400 amp service, heating is 3 zones of in-floor off-peak electric boiler with option dual source input, ductless ComfortAire heat pump/AC unit, 185’ deep well with on demand pump with top of the line Kinetico water treatment system, Simon XT security system. There is also a newer 24’ x 24’ detached garage/shed that is perfect for cold storage and has air supplied to it from the main commercial air compressor unit as well as water ran down to it. Thinking of moving to the area? Everything is set in place for a future home and one can live up there while you build. Along with the great hunting aspects of the property and related to the accommodations that it provides, this would make a perfect summer getaway in the middle of some of the best fishing lakes in the state. The property lies between the Alexandria Lakes area and the Battle Lake area with the top of the line fishery of Lake Miltona being just minutes to the south. Catch your limit of walleyes in the morning, work on some food plots in the afternoon and sit back with a fresh fish fry dinner on the exterior patio in the evening. The area also has a multitude of snowmobile trails that will take you as far as you want to go and provide a nice winter getaway retreat as well. All in all, this property will provide top end hunting opportunities with the bonus of high-end living quarters and recreational opportunities throughout the year. You have to come look to really appreciate all that it offers!!
