THIS IS A RESERVE AUCTION! SOLD IN 4 PARCELS . This Highly productive farm ground near Rolla, North Dakota, consisting of 516 acres ±, this expansive and diverse property represents a truly outstanding opportunity to acquire high-quality agricultural land, recreational acreage, and a strategically located rural investment in one of north-central North Dakota’s most respected and dependable farming regions, and it will be offered at auction in five individual parcels to accommodate a broad range of buyers, ownership goals, and investment strategies. Situated in Township 161 North, Range 69 West, Sections 01, 11, and 12, the property lies just northeast of Perth, ND, and southeast of Rolla, ND, positioning it squarely within a long-established agricultural corridor that extends through Perth, Mylo, Rolla, Bisbee, and surrounding communities, an area known for its strong farming heritage, consistent crop production, and enduring land values. This region has long been recognized as a core agricultural area where land stewardship, productivity, and resilience are central to both the economy and the culture, and ownership opportunities of this size and quality are increasingly rare. The local climate is well suited to northern plains agriculture, characterized by warm summers, long daylight hours during the growing season, and adequate growing degree days that allow crops to reach maturity efficiently and consistently. Average annual precipitation, while naturally variable as is typical in North Dakota, generally provides sufficient moisture to support crop development, particularly when combined with the moisture-holding capacity of the area’s loam soils, and cooler nighttime temperatures help reduce crop stress while preserving soil moisture during key growth stages. Winters, though cold, play an important role in the agricultural cycle by aiding in natural pest control, improving soil structure through freeze-thaw processes, and contributing to long-term soil health and sustainability. The topography of the land is primarily flat to gently rolling, a highly desirable characteristic for modern farming operations, with subtle elevation changes that encourage natural drainage without introducing steep slopes, erosion concerns, or inefficient field layouts. These gentle contours allow for excellent water movement, minimize standing water issues, and support the efficient use of large modern equipment, precision agriculture technology, and straight, uninterrupted passes that improve operational efficiency, reduce fuel consumption, and lower equipment wear. Across the farmland parcels—Parcels 1, 2, and 4, —the soils are a defining feature of the property’s value and performance, consisting primarily of high-quality Balaton, Souris, and Svea loams, soil types that are widely regarded throughout the region for their fertility, consistency, and adaptability to a broad range of crops. Balaton loams are known for their strong productivity, moderate permeability, and balanced texture, allowing for deep root development while retaining adequate moisture during the growing season, making them particularly well suited for small grains and oilseeds. Souris loams are valued for their excellent structure and resilience, performing well under intensive cropping systems and responding favorably to modern fertility and management practices. Svea loams further enhance the soil profile with reliable nutrient availability, good moisture retention, and versatility across both small grain and row crop production. Together, these soil types form a highly productive and dependable foundation that supports consistent yields while offering flexibility in crop selection and rotation. The strength of these soils is reflected in the property’s productivity ratings, with average productivity index values ranging from approximately 65.6 to 71.2, and NCCPI averages between 46.4 and 50.8 on the primary farmland parcels, providing measurable confirmation of the land’s agronomic quality and long-term income potential. These soils are well suited for the crops commonly grown in the area, including wheat, barley, oats, soybeans, corn, and canola, all of which have a strong history of success in the Perth–Rolla–Mylo region. Spring wheat and durum remain cornerstone crops, prized for their adaptability to local conditions, strong market demand, and reliable yields, while barley and oats continue to play an important role in diversified rotations, offering both agronomic benefits and market flexibility. Canola has become an increasingly significant crop in the area, thriving on these loam soils and providing excellent returns while contributing to improved soil health and pest management when integrated into rotations. Soybeans and corn have also gained prominence as advances in hybrid development, agronomic practices, and equipment technology have expanded the range of crops that can be successfully grown in northern climates, and these crops perform well on the balanced, fertile loam soils found across the property. The versatility of the land allows producers to adapt rotations based on market conditions, moisture availability, and long-term soil health objectives, making the property attractive to progressive farmers and investors alike. Access to agricultural infrastructure further enhances the value of this offering, with multiple grain elevators located in nearby towns such as Perth, Rolla, Mylo, Bisbee, and other surrounding communities, providing convenient and competitive marketing options for grain and oilseeds. Short hauling distances help reduce transportation costs and improve harvest efficiency, while access to established grain-handling facilities supports timely delivery, storage, and marketing. The area is well served by maintained county roads and established farm routes, ensuring reliable year-round access for equipment, inputs, and harvested grain, an important consideration for both active operators and absentee landowners. Beyond its strong agricultural foundation, this property truly offers something for everyone, combining productive farmland with exceptional recreational and wildlife habitat that will appeal to farmers, investors, and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The landscape includes a dynamic mix of cropland, prairie potholes, seasonal wetlands, native grasses, cattails, and scattered trees and brush, creating a rich and diverse ecosystem that supports a wide range of wildlife species. The region is widely known for its outstanding whitetail deer hunting, with healthy populations supported by abundant food sources, water, and cover, making this area a destination for both resident and non-resident hunters seeking quality deer habitat. Moose are also known to frequent the area, adding a unique and increasingly rare wildlife presence that enhances both hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities. Upland game hunting is excellent, with pheasants, sharp-tailed grouse, and partridge thriving in the combination of grassy cover, crop edges, and undisturbed habitat found throughout the property and surrounding land. Waterfowl hunting is another major draw, as the prairie potholes scattered across the landscape serve as critical habitat for ducks and geese during migration and throughout the season, providing consistent opportunities for both early and late-season hunts. Predator hunting is also popular in the area, with coyotes and other species drawn to the open terrain and strong prey base supported by the diverse habitat. Parcel 3 stands out as an ideal option for the hunter or recreational buyer seeking a smaller, more manageable parcel to call their own, offering access to high-quality habitat that includes wetlands, cattails, native grasses, and tree cover that create natural travel corridors, bedding areas, and feeding zones for wildlife. This parcel offers excellent hunting potential while remaining easy to maintain, making it a compelling choice for those who value recreation without the responsibilities of managing a large-scale farming operation. Parcel 4 adds yet another layer of versatility and value with its small farmstead, which includes a rambler-style home with a tuck-under garage and an unfinished basement, providing a solid and functional structure with ample potential for renovation, customization, or immediate use. The farmstead is further improved with three grain bins, a shop, and another good-sized outbuilding, offering practical infrastructure for grain storage, equipment housing, livestock use, or hobby farming. The yard is set in a beautiful rural setting, surrounded by open fields and natural features that provide privacy, scenic views, and a true sense of country living, making it well suited for a farm headquarters, rental property, seasonal hunting base, or permanent rural residence. The broader area surrounding Perth, Rolla, Mylo, and Bisbee is deeply rooted in agriculture, with a strong sense of community and a long tradition of land stewardship, careful management, and respect for the land’s productive capacity. Farms in this region are known for their consistent performance, well-maintained condition, and ability to adapt to changing markets and production practices, and land ownership here has historically proven to be a stable and resilient investment through economic cycles. The combination of high-quality Balaton, Souris, and Svea loam soils, favorable topography, reliable weather patterns, access to grain elevators and transportation routes, diverse cropping options including wheat, barley, oats, soybeans, corn, and canola, and exceptional recreational opportunities makes this 523.06-acre ± property a rare and compelling offering in today’s land market. Whether the buyer is a farmer seeking dependable acres to expand an existing operation, an investor looking for long-term appreciation and income potential, a recreational buyer drawn to the area’s outstanding wildlife and hunting, or someone seeking the flexibility of owning land that can serve multiple purposes, this property delivers quality, versatility, and enduring value. Offered in five parcels at auction, buyers have the opportunity to target specific tracts that best align with their goals, whether focused on high-quality tillable land, recreational ownership, or a farmstead with supporting acreage, making this a unique chance to own a meaningful piece of North Dakota’s productive prairie landscape where agriculture, wildlife, and rural tradition come together in a setting built for long-term success and generational value.
