About this House
Tucked in just south of Cottingham Park in Wadena County, Minnesota, this 39.2± acre
tract offers a well-balanced mix of mature timber and recreational appeal.
The timber itself is a strong selling point. A stand of mature red pine offers real harvest
potential. A select cut has already been completed on the property and the work was
done cleanly, with no slash piles or leftover mess to clean up, so the woods are left in
great shape. Beyond the pine, the property carries a great natural mix of hardwoods
and softwoods, with oak and aspen woven through, giving it strong wildlife habitat value
along with its timber value. Whitetail deer, ruffed grouse, turkey and bear are drawn to
this kind of diverse cover and mixed mast crop.
Access is a genuine highlight. The property has great access, and Cottingham Park sits
to the north, giving the neighborhood public access to the Crow Wing River. Cottingham
Park is one of the most popular access points on the Crow Wing River Canoe Trail, a
90-plus-mile designated water trail that winds through Wadena County. The park offers
a canoe and tubing launch, multi-use trails connecting to nearby Bullard's Bluff Park,
and a rustic, low-traffic recreation area, all essentially next door to this property.
The property is enrolled in Minnesota's Sustainable Forest Incentive Act (SFIA) program
under an eight-year covenant and was enrolled in 2020. Three acres have already been
carved out of the program, giving a buyer an immediate, unrestricted starting point to
build, develop, or use however they see fit.
Whether the appeal is the standing timber, the future harvest potential in the red pine,
the wildlife habitat created by the oak and aspen mix, or the recreational value of being
next to the Crow Wing River and Cottingham Park, this Wadena County tract offers a
combination that's not easy to find in one package.
