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.
