LAND AUCTION – 285.91± ACRES ONLINE AUCTION ONLY – RESERVE AUCTION Begins: November 10, 2026 at 9:00 AM CST Ends: November 12, 2026 at 2:00 PM CST Location: Mauch Township, Sheridan County, North Dakota Located approximately 8 miles south of Goodrich, North Dakota, this 285.91± acre tract offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a diverse piece of central North Dakota land with agricultural, grazing, investment and recreational appeal. Currently utilized for alfalfa and pasture, the property provides a strong combination of productive use, livestock potential, water, wildlife habitat and classic rolling North Dakota prairie. The property carries an overall SPI of 34.3 and an NCCPI of 23.5, but don’t let those numbers fool you. Portions of this property were farmed in the past, and its real value lies in the combination of alfalfa production, pasture, grazing potential, natural water features and recreational use. The mix of open hay ground, grasslands, rolling terrain, cattail sloughs and lower wet areas creates a versatile property that can serve a working farm or ranch operation while also providing excellent habitat for wildlife. LOT 1 Acres: 285.91± Legal: Section 21, Township 145, Range 74 – SE1/4; SW1/4 less Outlot B Taxes: $1,007.72 total SPI: 34.3 NCCPI: 23.5 The topography is a major part of this property’s character. Rolling prairie, gradual elevation changes, open pasture, cattail-filled sloughs and numerous ponds and wetland areas break up the landscape and create a property that feels much larger when traveling across it. The varied terrain provides natural drainage, livestock cover, wildlife travel corridors and multiple vantage points across the surrounding countryside. A deer can walk over the crest of a hill and disappear from sight in a matter of seconds, while the heavier cattail sloughs provide the kind of secluded cover wildlife uses for bedding, protection and escape. The rolling terrain and pockets of thick cover give this tract tremendous character and make it especially attractive from both a livestock and hunting standpoint. For the cattle producer, this property offers the kind of practical land use that fits naturally into the Goodrich and Tuttle area. Existing pasture provides grazing opportunities, while the alfalfa acres offer additional forage and hay production. The numerous water features throughout the tract further complement its potential as part of a cattle or livestock operation. Whether added to an existing ranch or operated as a standalone tract, nearly 286 acres provides enough scale to make a meaningful addition to an agricultural operation. The Goodrich and Tuttle region has long been rooted in farming and ranching. Agriculture remains one of the defining features of this portion of central North Dakota, with a landscape made up of crop ground, hay land, native pasture, cattle operations and family farms. Small grains, corn, soybeans, sunflowers and forage crops are commonly produced throughout the broader region, while cattle and hay production remain an important part of the local agricultural economy. The combination of farm ground and grazing country makes this area particularly well suited for diversified agricultural operations. The recreational side of this property is where it really comes alive. Monster whitetail deer roam this part of Sheridan County, and the layout of the land gives mature bucks plenty of places to disappear. Thick cattail sloughs, tall grass, rolling pasture and scattered wetland cover create natural bedding areas and escape routes throughout the property. A mature buck can step into a cattail slough and vanish almost instantly, or simply walk over the crest of one of the rolling hills and be completely out of sight. That broken terrain and heavy cover can make the property feel much larger than its 285.91± acres and gives deer the security they need to spend time on the land. The combination of alfalfa, pasture, water and cover provides the basic ingredients needed to attract and hold whitetails throughout the year. Alfalfa and surrounding agricultural fields offer feeding opportunities, while the cattails, grasslands, slough edges and rolling topography provide bedding and travel cover. Natural funnels between ponds, draws and higher ground create multiple potential stand locations and ambush points for hunters looking to pattern mature deer during the fall. Adding even more recreational appeal is the amount of additional hunting access available in this part of Sheridan County. North Dakota Game and Fish lists the approximately 982-acre Rolling Hills Wildlife Management Area about 7 miles south of Goodrich, placing nearly 1,000 acres of Game and Fish-managed land in the immediate area. Wildlife Management Areas are generally open to hunting, fishing and trapping unless otherwise posted or restricted by regulation. Beyond the WMA acreage, hunters in North Dakota can also take advantage of other public and walk-in hunting opportunities found throughout the region, including Private Land Open To Sportsmen, commonly known as PLOTS, as well as state school trust lands and other public-access properties. North Dakota’s PLOTS maps identify these walk-in hunting areas along with Wildlife Management Areas, state school lands and other public trust lands. This gives a buyer the opportunity to own and manage a private 285.91± acre hunting property while having access to additional hunting ground throughout the surrounding countryside. That nearby public access can be a tremendous benefit for the serious hunter. Hunt your own ground, establish stand locations and manage the private property as you choose, then have additional opportunities nearby to chase pheasants, grouse, partridge, ducks, geese and deer. Instead of being limited to the deeded acreage, the surrounding public and walk-in hunting opportunities can greatly expand the amount of country available to explore during hunting season. Upland bird hunters will also appreciate the diversity of habitat found throughout the property. Pheasants can take advantage of the grasslands, cattail edges and heavier cover around the wet areas, while sharp-tailed grouse and Hungarian partridge are well suited to the open prairie and agricultural setting of central North Dakota. The mix of food, grass, water and undisturbed cover gives the property the ability to support several different game species instead of being focused on just one type of hunting. Waterfowl hunting is another major attraction. Numerous ponds, sloughs and wetland areas scattered across the property can provide resting, feeding and staging habitat for migrating ducks and geese. During the spring and fall migrations, these water features can come alive with waterfowl moving through central North Dakota. With surrounding agricultural fields providing additional feeding opportunities, the property offers the potential for both pond hunting and field-style waterfowl opportunities depending on seasonal conditions. Moose are also occasionally seen in this part of North Dakota, adding another unique wildlife element to the property. It is not every tract where a buyer can potentially encounter whitetail deer, pheasants, sharp-tailed grouse, Hungarian partridge, ducks, geese and even moose on the same piece of ground. That combination is what separates the White Property from a simple pasture tract. Buyers are getting productive agricultural use from the alfalfa and grazing acres while also acquiring water, wildlife habitat, rolling topography and recreational opportunity. A farmer or rancher can put the property to work. An investor can own a tangible agricultural asset with multiple uses. A hunter can enjoy a true North Dakota outdoor property without sacrificing the agricultural value of the land. For the buyer looking for North Dakota hunting land, pasture land, ranch land or a diversified agricultural investment, the White Property offers an attractive package. With 285.91± acres, existing alfalfa and pasture, an SPI of 34.3, NCCPI of 23.5, rolling prairie topography, cattail sloughs, numerous ponds, strong wildlife habitat and substantial additional hunting access nearby, this Sheridan County tract brings together many of the features buyers search for in central North Dakota land. Located approximately 8 miles south of Goodrich and within the greater Goodrich-Tuttle farming and ranching region, this is an opportunity to acquire a sizeable piece of North Dakota country that can be worked, grazed, hunted and enjoyed for generations.
