BIG BUCKS AND WORLD CLASS FLY FISHING! Burncroft on Trout Run is the ultimate retreat for the discriminating outdoor enthusiast. 183 acres hidden amongst a secluded valley in the rolling hills of Southeastern MN, allows one to leave the stresses of daily life behind. Burncroft is host to 3,800 feet of the revered, nationally acclaimed trout stream, Trout Run. This property in particular is one of the last privately owned sections of the famed stream and in cooperation with Trout Unlimited has undergone a 20-year stream habitat improvement/restoration program. The result of this carefully crafted effort, based on a 2004 assessment, is an astounding 2567 wild brown trout per mile, 824 fish 14 inches and over with a number of fish over 20". The world class cover, excellent forage base and spawning habitat promote continued improvement in both numbers and quality of brown trout each year. This can truly be considered the premier stretch of trout stream in the Midwest.Beyond the water, the bluffs and meadows have been skillfully managed for wildlife as well. The timber has not been commercially harvested in 40 years. This means there are hundreds of walnut, oak and cherry trees that could bring thousands of dollars in income if harvested. As another added financial benefit there is CRP income of $8,367 per year. The woods, hidden fields and tucked away corners host year round populations of whitetail deer, turkeys, pheasants and grouse. The secluded nature of the property along with a good partnership between neighbors produces several mature bucks each year as proven by the hefty shed antlers collected and trophies harvested.There is a currently a Boone & Crockett buck of gigantic proportions calling this property home.Overlooking the stream and meadow is a beautiful chalet style, two-bedroom home. Relax after a day in the field by the robust, double-sided stone fireplace as you ponder what is in store for your next adventure. A five-stall, concrete floored, cedar sided garage provides all the parking you need for the 4-wheeler, UTV, tractor, snowmobiles or other toys. The building site is also graced by a traditional style barn, which is elegantly weathered, but standing in a stately manner over the property serving to remind one of Burncroft's origins as a working farm. The natural beauty, year round outdoor opportunities and lodge style amenities truly make this a world class retreat. 35 minutes from Rochester, MN2 hours from Minneapolis, MN5 hours from Chicago, IL
