117 ACRES - Ottertail County, MN. Outdoor enthusiast's dream property. The ultimate hunting camp, dream build or development potential. This offering is one of the most rich and exciting recreational opportunities in the region. A remarkable combination of a charming build site that anchors the property, a mature hard wood forest with discrete trails, rich farm land, ponds/slews and the most unanticipated lake frontage on three lakes: Helgeson, Randkler and Businger (all NE Classification). The fabulous amounts of transition terrain throughout this entire parcel create added beauty and provide some of the most exceptional natural recreational amenities. This property offers the rare combination of seclusion and convenient access immediately off of State Hwy 34, Pelican Rapids and continued west border access off of 155th Avenue. A quick 40 minutes from the Fargo-Moorhead area, 3 hours from the Twin Cities Metro & 15 minutes off of the I-94 Barnesville Exit. Nine miles immediately south of Rollag, MN. One of the property's most impressive features is the linear feet of lake frontage on the three lakes; meandering through, then across the north end of the property, capped off by a gorgeous/nostalgic sand bar of sugar sand, then wrapping around to a peninsula. The building site’s mature setting is easily the heart of the property, with the notable charming private drive flanked with water on both sides, making the entry to the property an immediate transition to another world. The combination of mature hardwoods, lake habitat and diverse cover creates outstanding habitat including whitetail deer, duck, wild turkey, Canada geese, fish and the occasional bear with endless opportunities for the sportsman or simply one who wants to escape into nature: canoe, kayak, boat, swim, build a dream home or a dream hunting camp. Added infrastructure value: underground power to the building site, two older usable structures (shed/garage), driveway has been professionally engineered/built to sustain ponds. Property needs to be walked in person to realize everything it has to offer. Approx: 58A forest, 30A crops.
