About this land

Some properties just feel different the moment you step onto them, and this 21.72-acre Rum River retreat is one of them. With approximately 805 feet of river frontage, a level potential build site, electricity already on-site, and a dramatic ridge line rising behind it, this land offers the rare combination of practicality, privacy, and wild Minnesota beauty. A rough driveway has already been cleared into the property, leading you to a level area where a home, hunting cabin, or weekend retreat could be tucked naturally into the landscape. Behind that build site, the ridge line creates a stunning backdrop while also offering elevated vantage points that make this property especially well-suited for hunting. It feels private, protected, and intentionally placed, like nature already laid out the perfect setting and left the next chapter up to you. For the hunter, this is the kind of land people hope to find and rarely do. The property has proven itself as prime hunting ground, with deer trails woven throughout and excellent opportunity for deer, turkey, and bear. The ridge, river corridor, and natural cover create strong wildlife movement patterns, giving you the kind of setup that feels made for early mornings in the stand, quiet evenings watching the woods come alive, and seasons full of possibility. The property has been surveyed, and electricity is already available on-site. The next owner would simply need to bring power into the building area and complete a formal driveway. With the right work, a trail or path could also be created down toward the Rum River frontage, opening up even more ways to explore and enjoy the land. Whether you envision a secluded year-round home, a tucked-away hunting cabin, or your own private basecamp for adventure, this Rum River property offers a powerful canvas. Level build potential, river frontage, mature woods, wildlife, elevation, and a proven hunting history all come together here in a setting that feels rugged, peaceful, and genuinely special.

Questions to ask before you buy

Good questions for any home near the slopes.

  1. How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
  2. Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
  3. Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
  4. Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
  5. What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
  6. For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
