Waterfowl and Upland Paradise on the Shores of Legendary Devils Lake

Property Description

North Dakota is regarded as the finest destination in the nation for world-class waterfowl and upland hunting. This is your opportunity to own an exclusive slice of Devils Lake paradise featuring over 6,000 feet of shoreline marsh, plus two islands just offshore from the main parcel. An interesting component of the primary parcel, which encompasses approximately 155 acres, is an interior pond accessible from the main lake with a mud-motor-powered duck boat. Think of it as a convenient pothole for migrators when the main-lake surf makes roosting and feeding uncomfortable or impossible.

The story of how Devils Lake swallowed up 10,000s of previously productive farmland in the early 90s is worth some research—it’s a sad yet interesting story, indeed. Now the lake levels are adequately managed, eliminating the risk of future flooding. The result is a tremendous amount of exceptional nesting and migrating habitat for countless species of ducks, geese, and, of course, pheasants.

Devils Lake covers up to 160,000 surface acres and is considered among the greatest walleye fisheries on the planet—hard boat ramps are numerous and within easy reach. Yellow perch and white bass are also available and abundant, which only adds to the angling experience. The ice fishing tops the fishing bucket lists for many traveling anglers, making it a year-round destination.

The property is located only 10 minutes from the Devils Lake community, which offers all the amenities required by resident and traveling hunters and anglers, including hotels, gas stations, groceries, restaurants, lumber yards, and more. The property’s main access point is an easy 100 miles west of Grand Forks, 100 miles north of Jamestown, 170 miles from Bismarck and Fargo, and 120 miles east of Minot.

Five total parcels comprise the 697 +/- deeded acres of previously non-flooded farm ground, but the primary land measures about 155 acres; factor in the two islands for approximately 180 acres. Annual taxes for all five parcels totaled $231 for 2026. There is also a USFWS easement to protect the property’s wetlands.

Legendary North Dakota offers superb outdoor and lifestyle opportunities—this is your chance to become fully invested in an improved quality of life and year-round fun.
