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.
