This is truly a remarkable property on many levels! This unique contiguous large acreage parcel boasts over 15,000 feet of riverfront on the Mississippi River! That’s over 3 MILES! I've been told the waterfowl hunting on this property is of "EPIC" proportions with some duck hunts being only minutes long before limiting out. It's so amazing due to what the property consists of. The current owners have restored wetlands on 1,210 acres that are under conservation easement for a wetland mitigation bank. The sellers will be retaining the mitigation credits that are remaining, but hunting is allowed in the wetland mitigation areas. There are still about 243 acres of wild rice fields outside of the wetland bank that is serious "DUCK CANDY". I've seen duck and goose numbers in a couple of wild rice fields in this area that have literally made my jaw drop! I've hunted waterfowl for over 23 years...
This is truly a remarkable property on many levels! This unique contiguous large acreage parcel boasts over 15,000 feet of riverfront on the Mississippi River! That’s over 3 MILES! I've been told the waterfowl hunting on this property is of "EPIC" proportions with some duck hunts being only minutes long before limiting out. It's so amazing due to what the property consists of. The current owners have restored wetlands on 1,210 acres that are under conservation easement for a wetland mitigation bank. The sellers will be retaining the mitigation credits that are remaining, but hunting is allowed in the wetland mitigation areas. There are still about 243 acres of wild rice fields outside of the wetland bank that is serious "DUCK CANDY". I've seen duck and goose numbers in a couple of wild rice fields in this area that have literally made my jaw drop! I've hunted waterfowl for over 23 years in some amazing locations but I don't think many places could hold a candle to this place. Currently, the same property manager that manages the mitigation areas for the sellers and runs the wild rice farming on this property also runs a guided waterfowl hunting operation, and they harvest staggering numbers of ducks and geese! They operate out of the lodge on the property that consists of 9 bedrooms and 6 baths. This place would be perfect for a large group of waterfowl hunters, a corporate getaway for the waterfowl hunting clientele or someone looking to start their own waterfowl outfitting business. Anyone's wheel's spinning yet? The other potential income streams that exist besides waterfowl guiding, are wild rice production and the potential for future wetland mitigation credit development once the sellers have sold all their bank credits in the watershed. Any sale will be subject to a lease-back with the seller to allow them to maintain and monitor the wetland mitigation areas, as well as a non-compete regarding development of additional wetland credits, but these factors are incorporated into the attractive pricing. The term of the lease-back would be until the current bank credits are sold out (projected 6-8 years). While on this property I saw several deer in the open areas as well as the timbered areas on the east side of the road. The east side of the road consists of mostly timber ground with the over 15,000 feet of beautiful Mississippi River bottoms. This is an excellent stretch of river for walleye, northern pike, smallmouth and largemouth bass. The timbered area on this side is prime deer, bear, grouse and turkey hunting. There are a couple food plot areas, tree stands and several trails throughout the timber. This is the perfect hunting and fishing property. When I was driving to this property, I spotted a moose just up the river a couple miles feeding along the riverbank. I've heard rumors of several people in this pocket of the state also seeing moose. Getting back to the property, there are a couple large outbuildings, one of which is a 60' x 134' pole shed that has a heated shop area for working on equipment. You could also store boats and other toys in these big pole sheds and heated shop. Speaking of boats, It's just a short drive to Big Sandy, Lake Minnewawa, Mille Lacs, Pokegama or one of the several other excellent fishing lakes nearby. This could be the once in a lifetime property you've been looking for. Please call for your private showing today.
