Highland Tracks Real Estate Listing: Premier 1167-Acre Timber and Recreational Property.

Discover an exceptional opportunity to own the Highland Tracks, a stunning 1167-acre property divided into two diverse 600-acre parcels, offering a unique blend of timber investment, recreational potential, and wildlife habitat. Nestled between major timber markets in Hayward and Cloquet, this property boasts all-weather access, diverse forest cover, and a well-maintained road system, making it a highly desirable and manageable investment for outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, and timber investors alike.

Each 600-acre tract features a balanced mix of aspen and oak, with approximately 600 acres of each cover type. The aspen includes 10-15% harvestable now and 20% maturing in the next decade, interspersed with oak stands for enhanced habitat diversity. Additional swamp hardwoods, conifers, and wetlands create a rich ecosystem. Abundant wildlife, including deer and grouse, thrives in the varied terrain, which includes wetlands, duck ponds, and scenic water features, offering excellent hunting and recreational opportunities, with public access for hunting restricted to foot traffic under a conservation easement.

A comprehensive road system ensures easy access. The east tract features a continuous road from Highway A to Beauregard Lake Road, while the west tract’s roads penetrate deep into the property, providing near-complete accessibility. Actively managed with a focus on sustainable forestry, the property features a mix of age classes and high-quality timber (rated 7-8/10). Proximity to major timber mills, short haul distances, and all-weather sandy ground make harvesting efficient and profitable, particularly for aspen and hardwood logs.

Two 40-acre parcels are exempt from the conservation easement, offering potential for building a hunting shack or cabin. Enrolled in the Managed Forest Law (MFL) program, these parcels allow flexibility for withdrawing land for personal use while maintaining low ownership costs. The conservation easement ensures sustainable practices and minimal environmental impact, with annual DNR monitoring covered under the MFL program. Timber harvesting remains unrestricted within sustainable limits, supporting steady revenue generation.

With established management history, minimal overhead, and strong timber revenue potential, this property is an affordable and turnkey investment. The groundwork laid by current owners ensures ease of management for the next landowner. This property stands out for its rare combination of accessibility, ecological diversity, and revenue potential. Whether you’re seeking a recreational retreat, a hunting paradise, or a timber investment, the Highland Tracks offer unmatched versatility. The established road infrastructure, proximity to timber markets, and thoughtful management make this a low-maintenance, high-value opportunity rarely seen on the market.
