18335 Major Avenue , Hutchinson, MN 55350(McLeod County)

Here is a rare opportunity for a multi-use farm west of the Twin Cities. The farm itself is located approximately 3 miles east of Hutchinson or less than an hour from the west metro area (see the general location maps /pics). Keep in mind for those that may be considering a move or building new in a relocated location but would still have a need to commute to the cities, this property is approximately 10 minutes from Glencoe and Highway 212 which has had and is in final steps of being turned into a 4-lane highway all the way into the cities. Another side note of the area is that there are many lakes around the Hutchinson area and the community itself provides many amenities from schools, shopping, industry, and so much more. The property itself consists of 3 main components starting with the approximately 29.5+/- tillable acres. Tillable acres have a soil CPI rating of 88.56 which, for those that don’t know, correlates to good productive soils which are currently in alfalfa and corn/bean rotation and rented out to a local farmer. Tillable generated roughly $7,000 in income in 2024 As of now, there would be open tenancy for 2025 to a new owner if desired. The tillable acreage would be a good candidate for conversion to pasture for horses, cattle or other livestock and also for enrollment into CRP for added habitat and many other uses. As you will see from the aerial photo, basically the western half of the property is existing habitat consisting of the thick cattail wintering cover slough. This is great cover for deer and late season pheasants. The old trail road running through the slough allows access to the western wooded corners and then the meadow between them. This trail was traveled this early summer during periods of extreme wetness with no issues. The meadow is approximately 2 acres in size and is a no brainer for conversion to a good protected and isolated food plot. Don’t let the smaller size of the woods fool you as there are some respectable bucks have been taken in this area out of similar sized woods. There are also many turkeys in the area Lastly then is the approximately 8 acres +/- farm site which has been very well-maintained. You will notice from the aerial photos that the farm site also includes a mature wooded area wrapping around the west and north sides creating a great windbreak. The farmhouse itself is an older farm house but again, has been maintained really well and consists of technically 3 total bedrooms but a 4th was used for a bedroom but it doesn't have a closet in it. There then are two baths (one up and one on the main level). approximately 2,400 +/- total feet, 2 with approximately 1,500 +/- feet, 2 of finished area. It has a fuel oil furnace, forced air, a drilled well and a newer upgraded septic system. There then is the insulated 46x26 garage, 30 x 60 pole shed, larger lean-to and other smaller buildings. Another feature is a lot of open space as well that would yield well to the building of a newer home if now or in the future. All of this is off of Major Avenue which is an asphalt road. Also, an important note is that from conversations with the county, there is a possibility of a future owner having/acquiring a second building eligibility for a second home.
