Located right between Silver Lake and Glencoe and less than an hour from the west metro, to say a property like this in the area is a rarity is an understatement. Growing up and residing in the Silver Lake area, I’ve known about this property my entire life and have always loved this property and the area. The property is an off shoot connection to the Crow River corridor and given this, the habitat on the property and the wooded areas to the east, it is almost a given that the chances of seeing some sort of wildlife when you drive by are good. The rare part of the property is that it possesses all the key habitat components for holding not only deer, but pheasants, waterfowl and turkeys. There is old growth wooded ground with red and white oaks, basswood, hackberry, ash, cherry and the list goes on. The restored prairie is in phenomenal shape given the tall grass species and forb/flower components to provide nesting and bedding areas. There is one historic open water pond in the northeast corner of the property and other wetlands that have been restored through the WRP program. Approximately 11.6 acres of the restored prairie is currently in CRP to generate income. If you’re looking for a property to build a home on, it doesn’t get much better than this in the area with a variety of locations located back off the main road. You will have wildlife literally right out your back door. The existing CRP areas could be taken out of the program and would make for excellent pasture areas if that interests you. If you’re looking for that one special property in the country but close enough to town or the Twin Cities area, I’d be glad to give you a tour of what all it has to offer!
