Timber Comments: Mixed hardwoods cover most of the upland on this tract.
Access Comments: Frontage on paved Co Rd 18 provides excellent access to the 25+ acres that is not in the conservation easement. An easement trail through the 25+ acres leads to and through the 80 acre within the conservation easement.
Hunting Comments: The area around Johnson Lake is mostly undeveloped. Mallards and Wood Ducks and northern Blue Bills in abundance. The size and configuration of this property offer privacy and multiple locations for deer stands. A Ducks Unlimited conservation easement on a portion of the property ensures wildlife habitat is preserved. Seller's hunting comments: I have been duck hunting Johnson and Garden lakes (more Johnson, because of the privacy) for the last 25 years. In the years when hunters complained of the lower number of ducks, I just smiled. We have always had an abundance of Mallards and Wood Ducks, and the northern Blue Bills have been outstanding. Both lakes have an abundance of rice and the weed roots that the Blue Bills love. The point off the northwest corner of Johnson is always good with the prevailing wind from the N/NW. You will rarely see another hunter on Johnson, partly because we own 3/4 of the lake, and partly because the only other landing is inaccessible. I have had as many as 5 groups of hunters on Johnson (all in my party), with plenty of space for blinds and deeks. If you want to see ducks, just go out to the shore line on Johnson in mid to late October and fire a nine millimeter pistol over the water and you will see, literally, hundreds and hundreds of ducks get up. Deer hunting has been much the same. The habitat for deer is as good as you can get. The trick to hunting this property is to be patient, and don't shoot the 4, 6, and 8 pointers, or all the big does, wait for the bigger 10s and 12s.
Nearby Amenities: Public access to Pelican Lake. Golf at Breezy Point Resort, The Preserve, Grand View Lodge, Deacons Lodge, and more. Shopping in Nisswa and Pequot Lakes, Brainerd, and Baxter. Many great dining and entertainment venues are just minutes away.
