TBD 390th Ave Gatzke, MN 56724

320 acres of prime northwest Minnesota habitat bordering agriculture ground and Thief Lake WMA's. This expansive property offers a diverse landscape of woodlands, grasslands, wetlands, and overgrown croplands/CRP, making it a rich canvas for wildlife, recreation, agriculture or conservation-minded development.
Formerly used to produce hay on approximately 140 acres, the land transitioned into the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) in past decades. It is currently not enrolled in any programs, leaving it open to new conservation, income-generating, or recreational possibilities. The natural overgrowth along the perimeter creates a hidden, secluded interior—ideal for private hunting, strategic food plot development, or wildlife sanctuary use.
Winding through the property are old trail systems from its farming past, ready to be re-established. You'll also find a well-maintained 12x22' hunting shack connected to power offering shelter, sleeping amenties, heater, oven and more home comforts to help create a cozy base camp. An older uninhabitable farmhouse is onsite and can serve as a reference point for a future build.
According to Marshall County zoning, the property can be broken into smaller parcels creating some opportunity for investment splits. Consider contacting Marshall County Soil and Water to explore eligible conservation and habitat programs—these could provide annual income opportunities or tax incentives.
This parcel may also qualify for a 1031 exchange, appealing to investors looking to reposition assets.
Bordering the Thief Lake Wildlife Management Area and surrounded by over 100,000+ acres of public land, this property sits in a renowned region for whitetail deer, black bear, turkey, grouse, waterfowl, small game, and even elk from the nearby Grygla herd. On a recent inspection of property, much of the grassland and wetland areas were observed to be dry, suggesting seasonal versatility.
Whether your vision includes a recreational retreat, new hunting traditions, conservation project, or land-based investment, this property is a great opportunity in a high-value ecological corridor of the state.
