Located just Northeast of Milaca in Mille Lacs County, Minnesota, this property offers a mix of habitat types and open ground that support a variety of recreational and land use opportunities. The parcel features a combination of mixed timber, wetlands, and red willow growth that create natural cover and bedding areas for wildlife. These habitat elements provide seclusion and transition zones that are commonly used by whitetail deer and other native species. While walking the property during a late-afternoon visit, a group of approximately 30 deer were seen feeding across the road. This highlights the presence of deer in the immediate area. The mix of timber and wetland vegetation provides cover and travel corridors that can benefit deer movement throughout the seasons. In addition to deer, the surrounding landscape offers opportunities for hunting species commonly found in the region, including bear, grouse, and turkey. The diverse habitat structure supports wildlife throughout the year and can provide recreational opportunities for hunting and an outdoor lifestyle. The location is approximately one to two minutes east of Highway 169, which allows for straightforward travel to nearby communities and regional destinations. The town of Milaca is about 3.6 miles away and provides everyday amenities, including restaurants, a grocery store, fuel stations, and other services commonly needed for daily living. The property also includes a large, open field that may be suitable for hay production or other agricultural uses. Open ground like this can also provide flexibility for landowners interested in maintaining pasture, food plots, or other land management practices. Beyond recreation and agriculture, the property may offer a potential building site for those looking to establish a rural residence or seasonal cabin setting. Any building plans would be subject to local zoning regulations, permitting requirements, and site suitability. The combination of open ground, timber, and wetland areas creates a landscape that offers both privacy and natural character. For those who enjoy fishing, boating, and lake recreation, Mille Lacs Lake is located approximately 25 minutes to the north. As one of Minnesota's well-known lakes, Mille Lacs attracts visitors for fishing, boating, and other outdoor activities year-round. Whether the goal is hunting, recreational use, or exploring a potential future homesite, the location and landscape provide a range of possibilities for the next owner.
