Diving right into some orchard details, the seller did extensive research and worked extensively with multiple professionals to strategically choose over a dozen different varieties to stagger their ripening windows which start in August and last throughout the fall. The original plantings took place between 2000 and 2004 with well over 1500 individual trees planted. Some trees have died over the years but there are still plenty that are flourishing and produce enough for not only your own personal use but to sell as well if desired. The seller not only rents the orchard out but the hay ground as well for roughly $1250 annually.

There is approx. 7-10 acres of tillable ground depending on what the renter wants to till that is currently being rented out for $1,500 annually. The seller will retain this payment for 2024 and the renter will be allowed to harvest crops but the seller will pay all of the 2024 property taxes. There are some back corner smaller old tillable areas that literally couldnt be more perfect for food plot areas, converted back to tillable, hay ground, pasture or whatever your heart desires. Including the front or south hay field, there is approx. 14 acres that could be tilled. One could also look to enroll eligible areas into CRP to not only generate income from the property but expand upon the already diverse habitat.

The balance of the property consists again of wooded areas to the north and mixed wetland complexes making this property a legitimate hunting property right out your front door. There are deer sign/trails all over the property as well as pheasants heard/seen and a variety of waterfowl. The approx. 135ac Wright Co. WPA public hunting ground is less than a mile east and would provide additional recreational opportunities.

In summary, the options are many for whatever your interests are. The setting is peaceful and beautiful for your country home or hobby farm. Hunting opportunities right on your own property or simply sit back and enjoy the wildlife. Tillable, food plot locations, hay ground, ability to pasture and again, lets not forget the established apple orchard all off of a tar road and relatively close to the Twin Cities metro area!
