The Ranch on Otter Creek spans approximately 2,074 contiguous acres, offering a blend of rolling plains, fertile fields, and lush grasslands, with Otter Creek meandering through the property. This diverse landscape makes the ranch ideal for farming, ranching, and hunting.
At the heart of the property, the farmstead sits on 15 acres, featuring a three-bedroom home with a partially finished full basement and an attached, heated, two-stall garage. The ranch is well-equipped with outbuildings, including:
A heated 22' x 26' shop with a 12' x 12' overhead door
A 70' x 80' metal building with 16-ft sidewalls, featuring two overhead doors (14' x 17' and 14' x 24')perfect for future heated flooring and concrete installation
A 40' x 60' shop with concrete floors, 14-ft sidewalls, a 12' x 18' overhead door, and full electrical power
A 16' x 28' barn with a loft, attached to a 30' x 54' lean-to for livestock shelter during calving season or harsh weather
Multiple additional storage buildings and two grain bins
The tillable acreage, approximately 400 acres, extends to the east, north, and northwest of the farmstead. The land is relatively flat with a gentle slope, making it highly productive for crops. It boasts a Productivity Index (PI) of 69.1 and a National Commodity Crop Productivity Index (NCCPI) of 39.7 on tillable land, with an overall farm rating of 56.3 PI and 32.5 NCCPI.
The remaining 1,874 acres consist of native pastureland, featuring rich, hardy grasses well-suited for grazing. The property is divided into multiple quadrants for rotational grazing, and in the winter, livestock can be turned out onto harvested fields. Otter Creek serves as a natural water source, supplemented by several wells that distribute water through a network of buried pipelines to 10 stock tanks. Additionally, stock dams across the property provide ample water, attracting ducks and geese year-round.
For hunting enthusiasts, this ranch is a prime location in North Dakota. Mule deer and whitetail deer are abundant, while the tall grasses and natural pollinators create an ideal habitat for upland game birds. Pheasants, grouse, and partridges thrive here, providing incredible hunting opportunities.
Beyond the ranch, Lake Sakakawea, a 479-square-mile recreational hotspot, is just a short distance away. It offers world-class fishing for walleye, pike, bass, salmon, and trout, along with endless opportunities for boating and family fun on the water.
