TBD Old Ferry Road

Tucked away along Old Ferry Road in Hinckley, Minnesota, this scenic 3.1-acre parcel offers a unique opportunity to own a private piece of the St. Croix River Valley. With National Park Service land bordering the property that has backwater access to the St. Croix River along a peaceful offshoot of the main channel, this property combines privacy, natural beauty, and outdoor recreation in a truly special setting.

Whether you're searching for a weekend getaway, a recreational property, a place to camp, or the potential location for a future cabin or home, this parcel provides an inviting setting to bring your vision to life, subject to applicable zoning, permitting, and other required approvals.

One of the most appealing features of this property is its connection to the surrounding public lands. With hundreds of acres of protected state parklands and federal wildlife refuge lands nearby, outdoor enthusiasts have an abundance of opportunities to explore. Spend your days hiking wooded trails, watching wildlife, birdwatching, fishing, camping, or enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Hunting may also be available in designated areas where permitted.

Public river access via the Lower Tamarack Landing is conveniently located at the end of Old Ferry Road. This public access point provides opportunities for boating, kayaking, canoeing, and fishing on the St. Croix River. Explore the waterways, cast a line while fishing, or simply spend a quiet afternoon surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature.

The property also offers a practical starting point for enjoying your land right away. A cleared area is already in place and could be used for camping or potentially developed into a future building site, subject to applicable approvals. Whether you envision a rustic camping retreat or eventually creating a custom cabin or home, the existing clearing gives you a place to begin shaping the property around your plans.

The location provides a wonderful balance between peaceful surroundings and everyday convenience. The property is approximately 10 minutes from Danbury and about 30 minutes from Hinckley, giving you reasonable access to shopping, dining, services, and other amenities when needed while allowing you to return to a quiet natural setting.

Picture spending a summer weekend here: arriving Friday afternoon, setting up camp, launching a kayak onto the backwaters, and enjoying an evening around the fire. The next morning could bring a hike through nearby public lands, a day of fishing on the river, or simply time spent watching wildlife and enjoying the quiet. With four distinct seasons, the area offers opportunities to experience the landscape throughout the year.

For those looking for even more room, an additional 10-acre parcel is available separately under MLS #7123462. Purchasing the additional acreage may provide an opportunity to create an even larger recreational or residential retreat, depending on your goals and applicable approvals.

This 3.1-acre property offers more than just land — it offers the opportunity to slow down, spend time outdoors, and enjoy the natural beauty of the St. Croix River Valley. Whether your vision includes a private camping spot, a weekend escape, a future cabin, or simply a peaceful piece of Minnesota to call your own, this Old Ferry Road property is ready for you to explore.
