MLS# 6784389 - TBD 430 Ave SW Bygland Twp, MN 56721

See complete description under documents. The Nikle 51.5 acres ± south of East Grand Forks is an extraordinary offering, a tract of land that combines the timeless appeal of fertile farmland with the natural beauty of wooded river frontage and the long-term potential of development in one of the most storied agricultural regions in North America. Just 5.5 miles from the conveniences of East Grand Forks and its twin city, Grand Forks, this property hugs the Red River in a peninsula-like shape that provides not only agricultural strength but also unmatched recreational and residential possibilities. At first glance, the soil productivity index, or SPI, which averages 56.5, and the National Commodity Crop Productivity Index (NCCPI) of 49.9, may suggest only moderate capability, but the truth lies deeper within the land. These averages are pulled downward by the trees and the lower-lying tillable acres near the river’s edge. Yet within the parcel lies a powerful secret: 34 percent of the ground is ranked with an SPI of 93, resting on some of the best soils the Red River Valley has to offer. Bearden silt loam with 0 to 2 percent slopes and Fairdale silt loam with 1 to 6 percent slopes dominate this high-quality portion, giving it a consistency and reliability that serious farmers recognize as the foundation of profitable production. It is this combination—prime farmland balanced with natural habitat and scenic river frontage—that sets the Nikle property apart and makes it a rare opportunity for the next owner. For a buyer who dreams of country living, the property offers a canvas of possibilities. The higher ground overlooking the fields and river would make a spectacular building site for a home or cabin, a place where one could enjoy wide-open views during the day and starlit skies at night. From that vantage point, the owner could choose to rent out the tillable ground for consistent annual income, leaving the management of crops to a local operator while still enjoying the benefits of landownership. Another vision might be transforming the lower portions of the tract into a hunter’s paradise, establishing food plots of clover, corn, or brassicas, planting grasses and wildflowers to encourage pollinators, and watching the already abundant deer population grow even stronger. The treed peninsula that wraps along the Red River acts as a natural corridor for wildlife, giving hunters and outdoor enthusiasts excellent opportunities for deer, turkey, pheasants, and even waterfowl in the nearby wetlands. The thought of sitting on a back porch on the high ground, looking out over a field where deer graze at dusk and hearing the wind move through the trees, is one that captures both the practical and the romantic side of country living. For horse enthusiasts, the Nikle acreage is particularly enticing. Its open fields, natural shelterbelts, and river access provide an ideal setting for a horse barn, pastures, and riding areas. The Red River Valley has a strong equestrian tradition, and the location’s size is perfect for hobby ranchers, competitive riders, or families simply wanting to enjoy horses as part of their lifestyle. A horse barn on this property could easily be complemented by training arenas, fenced paddocks, and trail loops along the treed areas. With room to ride and a private, scenic environment, the property has all the attributes of a horse lover’s dream. Beyond private enjoyment, there is even the possibility of income through boarding horses or offering training services, which would be well-supported given the growing equestrian community in the Grand Forks region. The development potential of the property adds another layer of appeal. With the city just minutes away, this land could easily be divided into smaller residential parcels, each with its own character and charm. A builder could create a subdivision that offers the tranquility of riverfront living while being close to schools, jobs, and shopping.
