Approximately 50 acres are currently tillable and consist predominantly of highly desirable Fayette Silt Loam soils with an impressive average Crop Productivity Index (CPI) of 76.4. The ground is actively being farmed, providing immediate agricultural value. The tillable acreage will be available for a new operator to farm beginning in 2027, or the current tenant has expressed interest in continuing the lease, offering flexibility for the new owner and the opportunity for dependable annual income.
An additional 45 acres are enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) through 2030, creating consistent income while providing outstanding habitat for wildlife. The established native grasses offer exceptional bedding and security cover for whitetail deer, wild turkeys, and pheasants. While touring the property, several mature bucks were observed bedding within the CRP fields, highlighting the quality of the habitat. Numerous patches of sumac throughout the property are heavily marked with buck rubs, providing further evidence of regular deer activity and reinforcing the property's reputation as a prime hunting destination.
The remaining 24 acres consist of mature woods featuring an attractive blend of hardwoods and pine trees. The timber provides additional bedding areas, travel corridors, and natural beauty while enhancing the property's diversity. The rolling bluff country terrain creates natural funnels and pinch points that hunters appreciate for predictable deer movement throughout the fall.
Whether you're looking to expand an existing farming operation, invest in highly desirable southeastern Minnesota land, build a legacy recreational property, or own a premier hunting farm with excellent annual cash flow, this property checks every box. With productive tillable acreage, CRP income, quality timber, abundant wildlife, stunning long-range views, and excellent access, opportunities like this are increasingly difficult to find in one of Minnesota's most sought-after hunting regions.
