Property Description

If you've been searching for a manageable hunting property that offers more than just a place to hang a tree stand, this 40+/- acre parcel in Fillmore County deserves a serious look. Located south of Lanesboro, southeast of Preston, and northeast of Harmony, this property brings together quality deer and turkey hunting opportunities, South Fork Root River frontage, CRP income, a potential building site, and a mix of terrain and habitat. One of the things that impressed me most while walking this property was just how much opportunity is packed into these 40+/- acres. From the elevated CRP ground on the west side to the wooded draw cutting diagonally through the property and the river winding through the southeast corner, there is plenty here to appreciate. The property includes 16.9+/- acres enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), with the current 10-year contract. This provides an opportunity for income while maintaining grassland habitat that can benefit deer, upland birds, and other wildlife. The CRP acreage is positioned on the higher western portion of the property, offering an interesting combination of open cover and elevation. A wooded draw runs diagonally from the northwest toward the southeast portion of the property, creating a natural travel corridor through the landscape. The property is located in an area of southeast Minnesota known for quality whitetail deer, and while walking the land, I found an impressive amount of deer sign. The combination of timber, grassland, nearby agricultural ground, and water creates several opportunities to develop a hunting strategy for different conditions throughout the season. On the south side of the property, just below the CRP field, approximately 1.6+/- acres of grassland are not currently enrolled in a conservation program. This area presents an attractive opportunity for a food plot. With its position near the wooded draw and existing cover, this could be a valuable addition to the property's hunting layout. The northeast corner contains approximately 4+/- acres of tillable ground, which would be the ideal location to build your dream home or cabin with plenty of space for an outbuilding or pasture for animals. Approximately 640+/- feet of South Fork Root River running through the southeast corner. Riverfrontage provides opportunities for fishing, exploring, and enjoying time along the water. A young walnut grove is located on the southeast side of the river, adding long-term timber value as the trees mature. Imagine having your own place to spend fall mornings in the deer stand, spring days chasing turkeys, summer afternoons fishing along the river, and evenings relaxing around a campfire. A future cabin or home could serve as a base camp for enjoying the property throughout the year. The surrounding area adds to the appeal. Lanesboro is known for its downtown shops, restaurants, and access to the Root River State Trail. Preston and Harmony also offer convenient access to local s
