Located near Toivola in St. Louis County, Minnesota, this approximately 80-acre property offers a combination of established improvements, diverse wildlife habitat, an extensive trail system, and convenient access to many of northern Minnesota's outdoor recreation opportunities. The existing infrastructure and multiple open field/meadow areas that would double as great food plot locations. Also potential locations for a future home, cabin, or hobby farm, subject to local zoning, permitting, and other applicable regulations. A well-constructed driveway provides convenient access from the gravel road to a parking area that serves as the property's established campsite. A 24-foot by 40-foot carport currently shelters a camper, creating a functional location for seasonal use. Electrical service has already been installed and is located just a few feet from the camper. In 2024, the sellers installed a private well with two hydrants, and a water quality test was completed in September 2024. These improvements provide a solid foundation for continued recreational use while also supporting other potential uses for the property. An extensive network of established trails provides access throughout much of the acreage. From the campsite, the primary trail winds southwest through a mature mix of timber before branching into 2 routes that reach different portions of the property. Along these trails are two secluded interior openings situated near areas of dense cover. These openings may be suitable for wildlife habitat improvements, food plots, gardens, or other land management projects. The northern portion of the property includes two additional open fields that are screened from the road by mature timber creating maximum security for wildlife that chooses to feed in them. These fields can be accessed from two different directions due to a trail that comes in from the east and the other trail to the south. They offer additional space that could accommodate habitat improvements, agricultural uses. The combination of multiple openings throughout the property allows flexibility for a variety of management objectives while maintaining the property's natural character. The approximately 80 acres support habitat for many wildlife species common to northern Minnesota. During a recent walk of the property, signs of deer and black bear activity were observed. The property and surrounding area also offer opportunities to pursue ruffed grouse, and wild turkeys have occasionally been seen nearby in recent years. The mix of mature timber, interior openings, natural cover, and established trails creates a landscape well suited for hunting, wildlife observation, hiking, photography, ATV riding and other outdoor recreation. An additional feature of the property is its proximity to public land. Approximately 160 acres of public land adjoin portions of the south and west property boundaries, with thousands of additional public acres located throughout the surrounding area. This provides convenient access to expanded opportunities for hunting, hiking, wildlife viewing, and exploring public lands beyond the property itself. Outdoor recreation continues well beyond the property boundaries. The St. Louis River is only a minute or two away and can be accessed from the bridge on Lavell Road. This section of the river offers opportunities for shore fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and paddling downstream to the public access at Arkola Road or beyond. Numerous lakes, rivers, and public waters throughout the surrounding area provide additional opportunities for boating, fishing, paddling, and enjoying Minnesota's Northwoods. Birding enthusiasts will appreciate being just minutes from the internationally recognized Sax-Zim Bog Birding Area, a destination known for its remarkable diversity of resident and migratory bird species throughout the year.
