Those established shelter belts give the property structure and character, breaking up the open ground and creating sheltered edges that wildlife use throughout the year. For someone who appreciates trees on a prairie property, their presence is a meaningful part of the appeal. They provide an established setting that would take years to develop on bare ground, along with places to walk, watch wildlife, and enjoy being outdoors. Farming and Hunting is a strong feature of the land.  Deer, grouse, pheasants, and partridge are found on the property, with coyotes also present in the area. The combination of agricultural ground and mature cover gives wildlife places to feed and shelter, while offering hunters different ways to enjoy the tract. An afternoon walking the tree rows during bird season or an evening watching the field edges can make ownership about much more than an annual crop. It is a property that gives an outdoorsman a reason to return through the changing seasons. The farmland adds a practical side to that recreational appeal. A buyer can consider farming the ground as part of an existing operation or exploring a rental arrangement while retaining the enjoyment of the property. That potential agricultural income can help with ownership expenses and gives the land more than one purpose. For someone who has been looking for hunting ground but would also like an income component, this combination deserves attention. The opportunity is to have productive use and personal enjoyment within the same parcel. It may also interest someone thinking about a future home in the country. The mature trees and open surroundings offer an attractive starting point for considering where a home might fit, subject to building approvals, access, and utility availability. A buyer could take time to get to know the property, understand how they want to use it, and explore those possibilities. The appeal is easy to understand, room around you, wildlife nearby, and a place where a walk outdoors can begin on your own ground. Lot 2 offers a different experience, with approximately 40 acres that include a portion of a lake and surrounding land. Here, the water is the feature that draws your attention. Grasses and brush along the shoreline add cover and create a transition between the lake and the agricultural surroundings. For a buyer whose favorite part of fall involves ducks and geese, this parcel offers an appealing opportunity to own a place centered on that interest. Its size also makes it approachable for someone seeking a smaller recreational tract. There is something satisfying about becoming familiar with a hunting property over time. You learn where birds tend to gather, how the wind affects their approach, and which parts of the shoreline offer useful cover. Lot 2 gives a waterfowl enthusiast the chance to develop that familiarity on land of their own. Conditions and bird activity naturally vary, but the lake setting, shoreline vegetation, and nearby agricultural landscape provide the features that make this parcel worth a closer look. It is a place where time spent observing can be part of the enjoyment. Some tillable acreage gives Lot 2 an income component as well. Farming or rental income could help offset property taxes and other ownership costs while the lake and surrounding cover remain the main recreational attraction. That balance may appeal to someone who wants hunting property with practical agricultural use. The tract offers the opportunity to enjoy the water and wildlife while keeping part of the ground involved in local agriculture. For buyers who have been searching for a smaller piece of land with varied uses, it offers a useful combination. The contrast between the first two lots is part of what makes this offering interesting. Lot 1 has the feel of a farm and upland hunting property, with mature tree rows and room to explore. Lot 2 places focus on the water, shoreline habitat, and waterfowl. Buyers can think about how they prefer to spend their time outdoors and which setting best fits that interest. Someone who enjoys both upland and waterfowl hunting may also see the appeal of considering more than one lot, depending on their plans. Lot 3 consists of approximately 78 acres of high-quality farmland along the north side of Highway 5. This parcel will likely draw the attention of producers looking to add ground in the area, along with investors who want agricultural property in a community built around farming. Its appeal is straightforward: farmland in an established agricultural setting, with nearby services to support its continued use. For a local operator, the tract offers an opportunity to consider how additional acres might fit into an existing operation and long-term plans. Adding land is a decision that often reaches beyond the coming growing season. Producers might consider where their operation is headed, how acreage fits with the ground they already farm, and whether a purchase can serve their goals over time. Lot 3 offers that kind of opportunity. Its approximately 78 acres provide a parcel size that buyers can evaluate alongside their present equipment, workload, and land base. For an operation hoping to grow within the Bottineau area, having a tract like this come available creates a worthwhile opportunity to review. As an investor interested in owning farmland and arranging for its agricultural use. The surrounding farming community and access to support services are meaningful parts of that consideration. Land ownership also offers satisfaction with being able to visit the property, follow its use, and remain connected to the area. Buyers can evaluate the parcel according to their own rental plans, ownership goals, and time horizon, while recognizing that agricultural returns and land values vary. Bottineau provides a nearby base for the entire offering. Being able to make a trip into town for supplies, handle everyday needs, and return to the property adds convenience whether a buyer lives locally or visits from farther away. That connection matters on land that people intend to use regularly. A farming property needs supplies and service, hunting property benefits from a convenient place to prepare for the day, and a possible future homesite is more appealing when town remains within reach. Agricultural infrastructure in the surrounding communities adds another practical advantage. Border Ag & Energy has elevator locations in Bottineau, Russell, Souris, and Kramer, providing area producers with grain handling and marketing options. Dakota Agronomy Partners’ Bottineau facilities offer access to agronomy products, custom application, and crop consulting. Having those resources in the region gives operators places to turn as they plan and manage their crop year. For buyers considering the farmland portions of this offering, the surrounding service network is an important part of how the properties can fit into everyday farming. Ownership here can offer a connection to the seasons that is difficult to get from an occasional visit to the countryside. Spring brings attention back to the fields and the movement of birds through the area. Summer is a time to follow the crops and spend evenings checking the property. Fall brings harvest, upland birds, deer activity, and waterfowl hunting. Even quieter visits can be worthwhile drive past the fields, a walk along the trees, or time spent looking over the lake. Those experiences give recreational and mixed-use land a personal value alongside its working use.
