315 40th Avenue NW, Lot#WP001, Underwood, ND 58576 - McLean County

Been looking for the ultimate hunting paradise with turnkey luxurious lodge? Well here it is! Located just off the shores of the Missouri River and minutes from Lake Sakakawea in McLean County lie 160 contiguous acres of timber, native grasses and open farm fields. This estate, secluded yet accessible, promises luxury, privacy, security, and endless opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking the ultimate hunting experience. This one of a kind property is located in close proximity to the Riverdale boat ramp, The Tail Race, Lake Sakakawea State Park and 1,000’s of acres of public hunting land. Gene Welle, the current owner and avid outdoorsman, who is well known and respected in the hunting world has created this ultimate oasis. He has manicured this property from corner to corner and no stone has been left unturned when making this a wildlife heaven and hunters dream. The food plots, stands, tree plantings, man made lake, switchgrass fields, duck blinds and trail system were all very well planned out and executed to a T. The owner spared no expense and thought of everything when planning and implementing his strategy to draw, hold, and manage wildlife for years to come here. The hunting of whitetail deer, turkey, pheasants, waterfowl and coyote has been lights out and will continue to be so, because of what has been done to this property. I know some of you right now are probably scratching your head and thinking how can 160 acres do all of that and be that good. It’s because of the location and privacy of the food plots, the many fruit trees outlining those plots, the crop fields to add as extra cover and food, and the added cover of switchgrass and silver leaf popples for bedding. Also, adding into the equation is the 12ft deep irrigated lake, not to mention the neighboring habitat and refuge, along with great public ground and the management strategy that has been in effect for trophy deer here for years. I could go on all day about this but you have to see the property to truly appreciate the work put into it. The lodge and shop here are second to any I have ever been in... and I mean that. This building is first class all the way. There are too many features to mention, but I am going to hit on the big ones. The building is 80x120 with in-floor heat throughout. There are 3,500+ square feet of living space on two floors with 4 beds and 2.5 baths. They have added a 18x30 4 season porch with an outdoor style kitchen. The lodge portion of the building has high end fixtures and finishes and the pictures give you a good idea of what to expect when coming in from the hunt and enjoying your evening with family and friends. The property is being sold mostly furnished with most of the mounts, appliances, furniture, and gun safe in the interior . The shop portion of the building is equally impressive with 5 total overhead doors, 4 of which are 14x14 and one that is 17.5x14. The shop also features a walk-in cooler, built in pressure washer with wash bay, air compressor and an awesome game cleaning area and work bench. There are two fuel tanks outside along with a storage shed for the lawnmowers. Not to mention this property also includes a guest cabin overlooking the professionally constructed man made lake. This is nothing short of a top notch property. And then there is the wildlife As mentioned there is a private irrigated lake that has been stocked with walleye and perch to keep the fisherman happy. If waterfowl hunting is your thing the late season goose hunting here is lights out and the underground heated pit can accommodate up to 15 hunters and you will be doing so in style with electric and will keep you warm as the cool ND fall weather sets in. If you ever dreamed of setting crock pots out, setting up a TV to watch football and shooting some Snows, Blues, Canadians or Mallards while doing so, this is the set up for you. There are many premium elevated and ground level blinds set up for whitetail and turkey and they are scattered around the property for different types of hunting and wind directions. This property has produced many trophy whitetails over the years and gives you a great opportunity at 150+ class buck every year. You will be hard pressed to find a property that hunts so effectively for both rifle and bow with the setups in place. The upland bird hunting here is probably the best kept secret to the area. You have to watch while driving the trails on the property for the many pheasants that call this place home. The amount of birds here is ridiculous and sure to keep your hunting dog in prime form. I would love to talk with you more about this property as I could go on and on for days about this one and what it offers. Call me with questions or set up your own personal showing.
