Property Description
Located in Section 34 of West Bank Township right on the Swift and Chippewa County line, this 4.85 surveyed acre property offers a unique opportunity for those seeking a hunting base camp, recreational retreat, or country home site (county has given verification). This property has deep roots as part of a Century farm previously owned by the seller's family and now him. After selling the original farmhouse, the seller retained this portion of the property and thoughtfully converted the former chicken coop/grainery into a functional hunting cabin. The cabin features a newer steel roof, power, newer windows, reclaimed wood finishes, and electric heat. The interior is divided between a living and lounging area on one side and sleeping quarters on the other, creating a practical setup for overnight stays or extended hunting trips. The improvements extend well beyond the cabin. A historic barn built in 1929 by the seller's grandfather and father stands as a centerpiece of the property with approx. $30,000 in upgrades completed 12 years ago. The lower level of the barn remains in its original stanchion barn layout. Yes, it’s work but the possibilities of converting this to multiple options is there. The upper level is largely open and provides flexible space that could be utilized for storage, recreation, or potential lodging conversion. The adjacent milk house could serve nicely as a game cleaning and processing area or additional storage space or dog kennel area. Power comes from a dedicated meter on the home site. An outdoor hydrant is currently connected to the former farmhouse with an agreement allowing continued use unless someone builds a home or larger cabin with running water which then a private well would have to be installed. Access to the property has recently been improved. The seller invested just over $15,000 to install a new driveway, providing direct access separate from the previously used farmyard. While the property itself is modest in size, the seller owns the surrounding cropland and has indicated a willingness to allow the future owner to hunt into the adjacent field as long as it doesn’t disturb any cropping activity. This field has two CRP corners on its west side totaling approximately 5 to 6 acres. The seller indicated that deer stands could be placed in these areas by agreement as well. Pheasant activity in the area was also more than notable. They are everywhere. The number of birds seen in a short period of time was significant and reinforces the strength of the surrounding habitat. The property sits between the Chippewa River and Cottonwood Creek, further enhancing wildlife travel corridors and habitat diversity. In addition to the immediate hunting opportunities, the property is located approximately 10 miles west of the Lac qui Parle Wildlife Management Area, which encompasses over 24,000 acres of public land and is known as one of the largest contiguous blocks of public land in west central Minnesota. Fishing opportunities are also available nearby with Lac qui Parle Lake landing in Milan on 10 miles away much less Big Stone Lake, Lake Traverse, and several smaller lakes a short distance away. This allows the property to function as a year-round recreational base camp. Building eligibility has been confirmed with the county but please do your own due diligence on this. The existing improvements and utilities already provide a functional base camp. Whether you are looking for a hunting retreat, recreational getaway, or potential country home setting, this Century farm acreage offers it all. Even though the acreage is modest in size, the surrounding habitat, historic improvements, and access to additional hunting and fishing opportunities create a property with strong recreational appeal and long-term potential
