Description
Located in the rolling hills of Pepin County near Ella in Frankfort Township, this rare 89± acre tract blends productive ground, strong habitat, and a convenient location. Multiple buildable spots sit just off a paved road, giving you options for a home, cabin, or simple base camp.
Approximately 33± FSA tillable acres carry an impressive 77.1 NCCPI across the entire tillable. The farm has been managed under organic practices for over 20 years and is currently certified for orchard use and more. The balance is timber, draws, CRP cover, and interior fields that sit out of sight for privacy and clean access.
Bear Pen Coulee is the centerpiece of the hunting layout. It is a natural travel corridor with thick bedding points, finger ridges, and a defined saddle that ties into the main ridge system. Deer use these features to move between bedding and food with the wind in their favor, creating predictable pinch points for stands and blinds, safe entry and exit along the ridge, and consistent daylight movement during the early season, pre-rut, and rut.
Access is excellent. A newly installed trail system and existing hill roads make it easy to reach the majority of the farm on foot or by UTV. The trails support low-impact entry, habitat work, equipment access, and game recovery while keeping pressure off the core areas.
A centrally located pond adds a key hub between the ridge system and Bear Pen Coulee. It sets up perfectly for a box blind location with small food plots nearby. Food, water, and cover converge here, creating reliable movement and a natural staging area in multiple wind scenarios.
Conservation and income are in place. Two CRP enrollments include about 5.79± acres in General Sign-Up and 20.99± acres in SAFE WI Monarch and Pollinator. These programs add structure, edge, and year-round cover for deer and upland wildlife while generating annual payments. Program details are on file. Buyer to assume per CRP terms.
Recreation is close by. Ella and the Chippewa River are roughly a mile from the farm for quick fishing, paddling, and waterfowl access. Lake Pepin and the Mississippi River are an easy drive at Pepin or Nelson, with additional services and amenities in Wabasha and Durand.
It is a big landscape with big possibilities. Farm it, hunt it, build on it, and enjoy year-round access to two of the Upper Midwest’s great rivers.
