    What's special

    Nightly western sunsetsDeck overlooking lake ontarioEnclosed porch
    Located just 4 miles northwest of Bowdon, North Dakota, this premier ranch presents a rare opportunity to own a turnkey cattle operation paired with exceptional living accommodations. The property is anchored by a stunning custom-built home boasting over 6,000 square feet of living space, thoughtfully designed for both comfort and entertaining. Features include a large porch with an outdoor grilling station, a separate entrance to an enclosed porch, an open concept living area, and a private entrance leading directly to the office. The enclosed porch is versatile and could easily double as a private mother-in-law suite, providing additional living space for extended family or guests. From the deck overlooking Lake Ontario, you'll also enjoy nightly western sunsets, adding to the unique character of this ranch. The agricultural infrastructure has been carefully laid out to support efficient, year-round operations. A state-of-the-art calving and working facility serves as the centerpiece and could easily be utilized as a horse breeding and training facility if desired. The ranch also includes a horse barn with box stalls, a hay loft, and a heated tack room, along with 20± acres of fenced corrals equipped with automatic waterers. Additional improvements include a fully heated shop with attached living quarters, ideal for guests or caretakers, a spacious cold storage shop, livestock shed, and well-designed cattle corrals. Every improvement has been built with longevity and functionality in mind, ensuring seamless ranch management. Beyond its agricultural strengths, the property offers exceptional recreational opportunities. Situated in the heart of the Prairie Pothole Region, it provides world-class waterfowl hunting in addition to outstanding deer, moose, and pheasant hunting. The surrounding landscape includes wildlife management areas and small productive lakes that create ideal habitat for a wide variety of game species. Outdoor enthusiasts will also appreciate the proximity to major fishing lakes such as Lake Audubon, Devils Lake, and Horsehead Lake, all well known for their excellent walleye fishing. Accessibility is another strong attribute of this ranch. It is within 90 miles of Minot, Jamestown, and Bismarck, and within 30 miles of two small-plane airports, providing both convenience and seclusion. The seller also has additional land available to purchase and/or rent, offering buyers the opportunity to expand their operation. With a suitable offer, the seller would further consider granting the buyer a first right of refusal on leasing the remaining land.
