27.47 Acres of hunting land near Rushford within Fillmore County, MN
This 27.47-acre ridgeline and ridgetop just south of Rushford is an affordable slammer property for anyone looking to consistently harvest big whitetails in the heart of Bluff Country. The land is loaded with natural deer signtrails, rubs, and scrapes are scattered throughout the property, clearly showing that mature bucks travel, bed, and cruise this area heavily. Several pockets of extremely thick cover create ideal security bedding, and these dense areas are exactly where bucks love to push does during the rut, giving hunters a prime opportunity at close encounters during the peak of the season.
The ridgeline is dominated by mature white oak and red oak trees, adding both beauty and incredible natural food sources for wildlife. Mixed among the hardwoods are unique rock outcroppings that give the land character and provide excellent vantage points and natural travel corridors for deer...
The ridgeline is dominated by mature white oak and red oak trees, adding both beauty and incredible natural food sources for wildlife. Mixed among the hardwoods are unique rock outcroppings that give the land character and provide excellent vantage points and natural travel corridors for deer. On the south-facing slope, youll find multiple cedar thickets that offer outstanding thermal cover during the cold winter months. These cedars shield wildlife from harsh north winds while allowing them to soak in the suna combination that makes this area an ideal spot for shed antlers each spring.
On top of the ridge, several acres of relatively flat ground provide the perfect opportunity to establish a sizeable food plot. With the surrounding cover and bedding areas nearby, a well-placed food source on this high ground would create a central hub for deer movement throughout the fall. The property is bordered by large land tracts and sits in an area known for strong Quality Deer Management practices, meaning neighboring landowners are also focused on growing and holding mature bucks.
While the land is currently zoned as not buildable for a permanent residence due to Rushford Village zoning regulations, buyers do have the option to apply for a variance. For hunters, recreational landowners, or anyone seeking a rugged and productive piece of Bluff Country whitetail ground, this property offers an exceptional opportunity that rarely becomes available.
