See complete description in documents. Antler Ridge Meadows is a rare opportunity in the Turtle Mountain region of North Dakota, offering 120 acres (+/–) of diverse and productive land. The property features approximately 75 to 80 acres of alfalfa and grass blend, complemented by wooded areas, open grassland, and a topography of gentle hills rising to a few higher points that provide panoramic views of the countryside. This is a place where agriculture, recreation, and homesteading potential come together seamlessly, making it an exceptional property in Rolette County.
The land itself is graced with wide, mowed trails that allow easy access by truck, tractor, ATV, or side-by-side to every corner of the property. A heavily flowing creek courses through the acreage, surging with spring snowmelt before calming during the summer and fall months. Several duck ponds add to the natural water features and enrich the wildlife habitat. The mixture of cropland, timber, and water creates both beauty and utility, making Antler Ridge Meadows a property where the land works for you while also offering a retreat from everyday life.
For the outdoorsman, the property is a haven. White-tailed deer, ruffed grouse, ducks, geese, and other upland game thrive here, while a large herd of elk is known to traverse the area. The balance of food, cover, and water makes the land ideal for year-round wildlife activity, offering both excellent hunting opportunities and the simple enjoyment of watching animals in their natural habitat. Nearby public lands such as Lords Lake, Homen State Forest, Willow Lake Refuge, Wakopa Wildlife Management Area, and Turtle Mountain State Forest expand the possibilities for hunting, fishing, and exploring.
Antler Ridge Meadows also has outstanding potential for establishing a homestead. Elevated spots on the land provide excellent building sites with views of the Turtle Mountains. The wooded areas act as natural windbreaks, while the open meadows welcome sunlight for gardens, orchards, or pastures. With the trails already in place, water flowing through the property, and space for livestock or farming, the land offers an ideal setting for those looking to live closer to nature. Privacy and seclusion are balanced by the convenience of nearby communities, where modern amenities are within easy reach.
Although it feels like a retreat, the property is close to several towns. Bottineau, about half an hour away, is the regional hub, known as the “Four Seasons Playground of North Dakota” with shopping, medical services, schools, and restaurants. Willow City, Dunseith, Belcourt, and St. John’s offer small-town charm and community life, while Belcourt also serves as the cultural center for the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians. Recreational destinations abound in every direction: Lake Metigoshe is nearby, offering boating, fishing, and camping; Long Lake provides quieter fishing opportunities; Bottineau Winter Park offers skiing, snowboarding, and tubing; and the Turtle Mountains boast extensive snowmobile trails that can be accessed directly from the property.
The Turtle Mountains themselves set this region apart. With a rich history and deep cultural significance, they are home to aspen, birch, oak, spruce, and other tree species that form a striking contrast to the surrounding prairies. The landscape shifts with the seasons: in spring the creeks and ponds swell with snowmelt, summer brings long warm days perfect for farming, autumn bursts into brilliant color as the leaves change, and winter blankets the hills in snow, creating opportunities for skiing and snowmobiling. This rhythm of the four seasons enriches both agricultural productivity and outdoor living.
Agriculturally, the property’s 75 to 80 acres of alfalfa grass blend provide strong productivity for grazing or hay production. Alfalfa is prized for its protein content and digestibility, making it one of the most important crops for cattle feed.
