Highly Affordable and Isolated Hunting Property with Serious Big Buck Potential If having your own private hunting property is a priority, and affordability is key, this is the property for you. The 120 contiguous acres offers a tremendous amount of security cover the local deer population will certainly find attractive. The visionary deer hunter will see potential for a number of strategically placed food plots that will offer year-round food sources the local deer herd will find very attractive. The property features bunch of red willow, oak flats and other mature trees in and around low ground, most of which could work for foot-plot implementation. Much like an overgrown pasture, the east 40 is already largely opened up requiring a bit of grooming before food can be planted. But it’s nearly ready. The secluded nature of this entire area promotes low hunting pressure, which only enhances the deer manager’s ability to grow and hold trophy-class whitetails. Oh, and there are piles of turkeys in the area, too. There is a fine landing spot for a remote, off-grid deer camp, even a potential home-build site to the motivated developer. The property isn’t terribly far from modern convenances either. Kettle River is only 7 miles to the east, 22 miles to McGregor, 20 miles southeast of Cromwell and less than an hour from Duluth. Plus, there are a number of highly popular snowmobile trails in the area. The property is accessible through two easements, one from the south hay field the seller has already established and one from the northwest off of Brown Road.

Unique. Grand. Unforgettable. This one-of-a-kind 30+ acre property is nearly impossible to capture in words—you truly need to experience it in person. At the heart of the nearly 5,000 finished sq ft farmhouse is an incredible piece of local history: a fully intact 1912 wood cabin, one of the only remaining structures in the area from the great fire, preserved within the home built around it in 1990. Designed for those looking for space, recreation, self-sufficiency, or simply something unlike anything else on the market, the property features 400-amp electrical service, a greenhouse, expansive acreage, and direct access to the 226-mile Soo Line Trail—ideal for snowmobiling, ATV riding, hiking, and year-round recreation. The land is as impressive as the home. Established gardens currently produce corn, carrots, potatoes, broccoli, onions, beets, cucumbers, zucchini, and several varieties of squash. The property features a diverse mix of ash, pine, maple, birch, and poplar, along with plum, elderberry, and Juneberry trees. Inside, nearly 5,000 finished sq ft provides tremendous flexibility, with multiple rooms that can serve as home offices, exercise areas, hobby rooms, study spaces, guest accommodations, and more. Enjoy a private country setting while remaining just approximately 7 miles from Moose Lake, offering shopping, groceries, schools, banking, dining, and Essentia Health–Moose Lake, a Critical Access Hospital with Level IV Trauma Center and Acute Stroke Ready Hospital designations. History. Acreage. Recreation. Gardens. Space. This property brings them all together in a way you simply don't find every day. Come experience it for yourself—and while you're here, see if you can find Olga's writing on the wall from 1912.

40 acres of land just outside of Kettle River. Property has road frontage on Hwy 73 and Skog Road. Driveway approach on the N end of property on Skog Road is needing some brushing. Easy access to park on Skog Road about in the middle of property where the snowmobile trail goes through. Bring boots; it is a little wet to begin with but nice area in the middle to build camp. Great for hunting. Lots of this was hay ground many years back. Easy food plots to build.
