This website includes supplemental information on the 44.24 acre parcel at 10005 Rice Road in Brook Park, Minnesota. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a real heirloom property, which rarely comes available. It has a quality and features you'll find no place else. It's only a one hour drive from the Minneapolis/Saint Paul metro area, and only 15 minutes from the neighboring towns of Pine City, Mora, and Hinkley. While it's deep in the Minnesota wilderness, it's also just a short drive from grocery stores, gas stations, and even a Walmart for those necessities you forgot.
This unique property is heavily wooded, but full of clearings and trails allowing for exploration and activities all four seasons. It includes 1000 feet of the Pokegama creek, and holds all the incredible wildlife Minnesota is know for. You'll frequently see deer, beavers, racoons, squirrels, wild turkey, and even an occasional shy black bear, coyote, or bobcat.
This 3 minute video provides a quick introduction to the land and some of its features. This is a necessity before you come visit.
This 4 minute video is a first person view ATV ride in real-time from the south gate entrance to the north field. It highlights some of the features, and can give you a starting point when exploring. It only shows a small fraction of the many trails you'll want to explore. This reminds you how large 44 acres is, as the non-stop, 1 mile journey, averages 14 miles per hour.
Click on the picture with your mobile device, and it will open up a google "mymaps" page with overlaps of property borders, trails, clearings, and other landmarks.
We recommend using this link on your cell phone while you're exploring the property, so you can see exactly where you are in relation to various landmarks and boundaries. Your current location will come up as a small blue circle. This will keep you from getting lost.
Unfortunately, the google base-map was from very early spring, just before leaves sprouted. So it looks a bit brown.
Click on the image for a PDF file of the property survey. It shows positions of property markers defining boundaries as well as other landmarks such as nearby fences. The property boundary markers are well marked with orange caps so they're easy to find, and you'll know exactly where your property begins and ends.
To visit the property we have a few rules. You must make an appointment, no unannounced drop-ins. And you must only enter the woods by foot or A.T.V. (all-terrain vehicle) unless accompanied by the owner. Park your automobiles, trucks, and trailers in the clearing right outside the woods. While the drive into the woods and main clearing is made for four-wheel-drive truck or SUV, trail conditions can vary, and after spring snow melt or a heavy rain, automobiles can leave ruts or get stuck. We can't pull you out of the mud if you do something foolish. This is natural undeveloped land. You are responsible for your own safety if you visit.
Rules:
Appointments are needed to visit and enter the property (email tejones777@aol.com.)
Know your limits if riding an ATV. There are steep slopes and rapidly flowing water. Only you are responsible for your safety.
Park vehicles/trailers in clearing, and only enter woods by foot or A.T.V. unless escorted by owner.
Leave no trash or refuge behind.
No firearm shooting, don't harass wildlife or damage trees or vegetation off trails.
Cellular trail cams and protective neighbors watch the property.
