Rarely does an opportunity come along to acquire more than 800 acres of hunting land in eastern North Dakota, but this Barnes County offering presents exactly that. Located near Fingal, North Dakota, this property consists of approximately 832± acres divided into two substantial tracts of 512± acres and 320± acres. The size, configuration, location, and recreational opportunities make these properties compelling options for buyers looking for large-scale hunting land with proven waterfowl and upland opportunities, deer hunting potential, and the potential for a building site on the northern property. Eastern North Dakota is widely recognized for its importance to migratory waterfowl and upland game, and this Barnes County property places an owner in a region where hunting opportunities can be a major part of the land's recreational value. The property has a history of proven waterfowl and upland hunting, giving buyers an established recreational foundation rather than simply a parcel with speculative hunting potential. Whether the goal is to establish a hunting property, expand an existing land base, or secure a large tract for long-term recreational ownership, the scale of these two tracts is a significant advantage. The 512±-acre tract and 320±-acre tract provide flexibility for buyers who may want to purchase one property or evaluate the opportunity as a larger 832±-acre acquisition. Having two sizable tracts also creates options for hunting access, land management, habitat planning, and recreational use. The acreage offers enough room to think strategically about how different portions of the property can be used throughout the hunting season. A portion of the north tract was intentionally kept outside of the existing easements, providing potential for a future building site. This adds another layer of versatility to an already substantial recreational property and could allow for a future residence, hunting cabin, or other permitted improvements, subject to applicable regulations and approvals. Waterfowl hunting is a primary highlight of this offering. The property's location in eastern North Dakota places it within a region that attracts migrating ducks and geese, while the property's proven hunting history adds credibility to its recreational appeal. For the upland hunter, the surrounding agricultural landscape and habitat diversity found throughout Barnes County can provide opportunities to pursue North Dakota's upland game species. The combination of waterfowl and upland hunting helps create a property that can offer multiple recreational pursuits during the fall season. Deer hunting adds another exciting dimension to this already impressive hunting property. With 832± acres across two substantial tracts, the property has potential for multiple deer gratis licenses, creating an opportunity to enjoy quality deer hunting alongside the proven waterfowl and upland hunting this property is known for. Another major advantage is simply the location. The property is located just over an hour from Fargo, providing a practical drive from one of the region's largest population centers while still offering the scale and rural setting associated with a large agricultural and recreational property. The nearby community of Fingal provides a local point of reference, while Valley City and Fargo provide additional services and regional connectivity. For an investor or recreational land buyer, 832± acres in two substantial tracts creates an uncommon combination of acreage, hunting history, location, and recreational versatility. Large blocks of land can be increasingly difficult to assemble, making an offering of this size worthy of serious consideration by anyone seeking North Dakota hunting land. The ability to pursue waterfowl and upland game, combined with potential deer hunting opportunities and a buildable site on the northern property, creates a diverse recreational profile.

Located in Barnes County, North Dakota and within 20 minutes of Valley City, this 90± acre property offers a blend of grassland, wetland habitat, and water features that support a variety of recreational and agricultural uses. With direct access off a paved county road, the property is easy to reach and may offer an opportunity for a potential building site. The land itself is a mix of native grasses, cattails, and natural drainage, creating a landscape that supports wildlife and provides seasonal variation across the property. A creek runs through the acreage, complemented by a stock pond that adds another water source for both wildlife and potential livestock use. The combination of upland areas and lower, moisture-rich ground creates a setting that can be adapted for multiple uses depending on management goals. From a hunting perspective, the property has consistently shown strong pheasant activity. The dense grass and cattail cover provide the type of habitat that pheasants rely on, and it is not uncommon to encounter birds throughout the property as we have while visiting it. Deer are also known to use the area, moving through the cover and along the natural corridors created by the creek and surrounding terrain. Walking the property, there is a noticeable sense of space and quiet that comes with this type of landscape. The sound of migrating geese flying overhead while ducks lift out of the cattails, accompanied by cackling roosters and the changing seasons all contribute to an experience that goes beyond just owning land. In addition to recreation, portions of the property may lend themselves to pasture use. The existing water features and grass cover provide a foundation that could support grazing, depending on how the land is managed. Whether your interest is hunting, recreation, agriculture or exploring a rural building site, this Barnes County tract offers a combination of natural features and practical access in a location that remains close to Valley City.
