Osage, Minnesota, 56570

Located in Becker County just northeast of Wolf Lake and south of Osage, this is one of those properties that is truly hard to put into words and even harder to appreciate without seeing it in person. From the moment I stepped onto this property I knew it was something special.For starters, the timber on this property is absolutely incredible. It's not often you find this kind of diversity all in one place. Towering white pine and red pine are scattered throughout the property alongside mature stands of aspen, oak and ash. The timber alone is impressive, but it also carries significant value. A recent timber assessment put the value at just under $100,000, giving the next owner not only a beautiful property to enjoy but also a strong long-term investment.If you're a hunter or someone who enjoys managing land for wildlife, you'll appreciate the work that's already been done here. The property comes with a comprehensive habitat plan from Whitetail Habitat Solutions that outlines ways to make this property even more attractive to the tremendous whitetails that already call this area home. The plan also benefits the many other species that utilize the property throughout the year.In addition to the habitat plan, the property has an extensive Forest Stewardship Plan in place and is enrolled in Minnesota's 2c program, helping reduce property taxes while promoting responsible forest management.The wildlife history here is exactly what most buyers are searching for. Trail camera photos and years of observations have documented mature whitetail bucks, black bear, turkey and grouse utilizing the property. The habitat diversity, cover and surrounding landscape create everything needed to consistently hold and attract wildlife.One thing that really stands out is the trail system. It is absolutely immaculate. Whether you're accessing stand locations, checking trail cameras, hauling firewood, hiking or simply exploring, the trail network makes navigating the property easy and enjoyable. More importantly, it allows you to slip in and out of hunting locations with minimal disturbance.As impressive as the property itself is, the neighboring land may be equally valuable. The property directly borders Smoky Hills State Forest and provides access to literally thousands of additional acres of public land. What makes this especially attractive is that the section of state forest bordering this property is difficult for the general public to access. That means additional hunting, hiking and recreational opportunities that many people simply won't take advantage of.The front portion of the property sits along paved County Highway 47 and offers an excellent location for a hunting camp, future home, cabin or camper setup. Whether you're looking for a place to spend weekends in the fall or a property where you can build your forever home surrounded by towering pines and abundant wildlife, this property offers that opportunity.Properties that combine timber value, habitat diversity, proven hunting history, excellent access and direct adjacency to thousands of acres of public land are becoming increasingly difficult to find. If you've been looking for a property to build your hunting legacy on, this one checks a lot of boxes and is priced extremely attractively for everything it has to offer.This is truly a must-see property, and I think once you walk it, you'll understand exactly what makes it so special.

52.4 Acres

Sebeka, Minnesota, 56477

The Crow Wing River might just be my favorite river in the entire state of Minnesota, and here's why.For starters, it is absolutely beautiful. Whether you're standing on the bank watching the water flow by, floating downstream in a kayak, or casting a line into one of its many productive stretches, it's simply a river that never gets old. From an aesthetic standpoint alone, it's hard to beat. But the Crow Wing River offers so much more than just incredible scenery.The fishing opportunities are outstanding, with healthy populations of walleye, bass, northern pike, and panfish. It's also a favorite destination for canoeing, kayaking, tubing, boating, and simply enjoying everything that makes Minnesota's river systems so special. Add in the abundance of wildlife that calls the river corridor home, and it's easy to understand why so many people are drawn to this area.Now imagine owning over 3,000 feet of frontage on this incredible river along with 52.4 +/- acres of mature timber, privacy, and seclusion. The good news is you don't have to imagine it. This property offers a rare opportunity to own a truly spectacular piece of Minnesota riverfront real estate.The land itself is just as impressive as the river frontage. Mature oak, pine, and ash trees create a beautiful canopy throughout the property while lining portions of the riverbank. The diversity of timber provides both character and wildlife habitat, giving the property that classic northern Minnesota feel that so many buyers are searching for.A feeder creek winds its way through the property before eventually flowing into the Crow Wing River, creating another attractive feature for both wildlife and the overall landscape. There is also a willow slough and areas of low ground that provide excellent cover for deer and countless other wildlife species.Speaking of wildlife, there is no shortage of it here. Deer sign is abundant throughout the property, and the area is well known for producing healthy populations of whitetails, wild turkey, and ruffed grouse. I wouldn't be surprised if a bear or two made regular appearances as well. The combination of river frontage, timber, lowland habitat, and surrounding landscape creates everything wildlife needs to thrive.One thing I really appreciate about this property is the privacy. Access is provided through a 33-foot-wide easement, which helps create the feeling that you've escaped from the rest of the world. Once you're on the property, it's easy to forget that you're only minutes southeast of Nimrod and within convenient reach of the surrounding communities.The property is currently raw land, giving the next owner a blank canvas to bring their vision to life. Whether you're dreaming of a private riverfront cabin, a recreational retreat, a hunting camp, or simply a place to escape and enjoy the outdoors, the opportunities here are numerous.Perhaps what makes this property even more special is that it has been in the same family for many years. Properties like this often become part of a family's story, and this one is no exception. After many years of ownership and countless memories made along the banks of the Crow Wing River, the family has decided it is time to pass this cherished asset on to the next owner.Opportunities to own over 3,000 feet of Crow Wing River frontage combined with 52.4 +/- acres of mature timber, abundant wildlife, and incredible privacy are few and far between. If you've been searching for a property where you can build your own memories, enjoy everything the Crow Wing River has to offer, and create a legacy for future generations, this property deserves a serious look.This is truly one of those properties that needs to be seen in person to fully appreciate everything it has to offer.
