Tbd Sjule RD Bottineau, ND 58318

See complete description in documents.
Located just off Highway 43 in the heart of the Turtle Mountains and only a short distance north of Bottineau, North
Dakota, this expansive 78± acre parcel represents a rare opportunity to own land that captures the essence of North
Dakota's northern wilderness while still offering accessibility, versatility, and infrastructure for future development. East
of the renowned Bottineau Winter Park and just west of the recreational jewel of Lake Metigoshe, the property is ideally
situated to take advantage of one of the region's most desirable outdoor areas. This tract is a beautiful mix of rolling-to
level topography, creating natural variation that is both scenic and highly usable. The gently rolling hills add depth and
character to the landscape, creating vantage points where one can look across the ponds and wetlands, admire the
shimmering water in the evening light, and watch wildlife move gracefully through the property. From some elevated
spots, the land opens to scenic views that stretch across the Turtle Mountains' mosaic of forest, meadow, and water,
making every season an experience to behold. At the southern end of the parcel, a small lake provides a natural focal
point, perfect for those who dream of building a home or cabin where they can sip morning coffee while watching ducks
land, deer graze along the shoreline, and the occasional moose or even elk wander through. These ponds and wetlands are
more than just picturesque features—they are living ecosystems that attract a wide range of species, from whitetail deer
and upland birds to migratory waterfowl. On a quiet evening, it is easy to imagine sitting on a deck overlooking the lake,
listening to the haunting call of loons echo across the water while a bull elk steps out of the timber or a moose wades
through the reeds in the distance. The topography blends open fields with wooded ridges and low-lying marshland,
creating a perfect mix of cover, food, and water for wildlife while also allowing for productive agricultural and
recreational use.
The wooded portions of the parcel exemplify the ecological richness of the Turtle Mountains, featuring quaking aspen,
bur oak, basswood, paper birch, and stands of spruce that provide year-round color and structure. Interspersed among
these trees are thickets of chokecherry, juneberry, wild plum, hazel, and raspberry, which not only add to the property's
natural beauty but also supply abundant foraging opportunities for both people and wildlife. In late summer, berry
patches attract everything from songbirds to black bears, while in autumn they provide critical sustenance to deer and
upland game preparing for the winter. The rolling terrain makes for pleasant walking and hiking, and the variety of
ecosystems contained within these 78 acres means that every turn reveals a new vista—an open hayfield with bales dotting
the horizon, a wooded grove alive with the chatter of birds, or a pond reflecting the sky with waterfowl skimming across
its surface. The alfalfa field on the parcel adds immediate agricultural value, suitable for hay production or rotation into
crops, and its level ground could be further expanded for farming if desired. Alternatively, the field could remain a hay
meadow, attracting deer, geese, and grouse, and providing a scenic, pastoral backdrop. Its versatility makes the land
attractive to farmers, ranchers, or investors seeking a balanced mix of agricultural utility and natural beauty.
