Auction Note
For many years, this McHenry County land has been the heart of Allen Thompson's farm and ranch operation, and the care he has put into it shows in every acre. With the decision to sell his livestock, Allen is now offering the land at public auction. The 1,200 +/- acres deliver a productive block of native and improved grazing land supported by dependable natural water, two supplemental solar wells, and strong tree and brush cover that shelters both livestock and wildlife. A significant portion of the acreage was formerly farmed and has since been converted to grass production, and the grazing has been well managed year over year for consistent annual forage. The property sits 7 miles southwest of Denbigh and 10 miles southeast of Granville, with good access to all three parcels and a well-earned reputation as strong deer country in this pocket of north central North Dakota. Two of the parcels carry active Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contracts contributing annual income, and buyers will find a working balance of grazing production, habitat value, and long-term operational flexibility across the offering.
