TBD County Highway 14, Madison, MN 56256

Here’s an opportunity for those interested in having their own hunting land in the wildlife-rich western region of the state. The property is located approximately two miles south of Madison. It lies in the middle of the extensive tributary creek corridor that ultimately feeds into the West Branch Lac qui Parle River.
This is “Prairie Country,” and when it comes to whitetail habitat, large, low-lying, thick cattail sloughs are often the most critical component for providing seclusion and bedding. This property offers an abundance of such habitat throughout its core, which includes smaller pockets of open water to attract waterfowl. Pheasants? It all comes down again to habitat. With the mixture of thick wintering cover, adjacent upland prairie nesting cover, food plots, adjacent cover in the area, and agricultural fields to the north and south, all of the components are in place to allow for great bird opportunities throughout the season. This property boasts a great hunting history with multiple nice deer being harvested along with pheasants. Trail camera history also suggests that turkey and waterfowl hunting opportunities exist.
Access: When it comes to hunting property, access is always a crucial component. This tract is surrounded on 3 sides by public road, which offers entry to every corner of the property. Not only is this important for hunting and the ability to hunt different stand locations in different wind directions, but it is also great for management. Being able to establish and maintain food plots is much more conducive with good access. The easy access here allows you to manage more areas of the property and hunt different locations with ease.
Income Production: approximately 69.38 acres are enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and have been restored to native prairie. The CRP contract runs through September 2029 and provides an annual payment of approximately $11,938, paid each fall. Much of the remaining acres are enrolled in a US Fish and Wildlife Service wetland easement.
The seller has also reserved about 5.5 acres, divided across three areas, specifically for food plots. These food plots are currently in alfalfa and provide a great food source for the wildlife living on the property.
If this property has everything you are looking for except a hunting camp, you are in luck, we currently have listed the +/- 37.49 acre farm site directly adjacent to this property. The farm site includes a 3 bedroom, 2 bath updated farmhouse with 3 outbuildings and room to grow.
