If you've been looking for a rare mix of productive acres and serious recreation, this one deserves a spot on your calendar. Bidding opens Monday, June 8th, 2026, at 8:00 AM, and will close Wednesday, June 10th, 2026, at 11:00 AM. For sale is 171.71 gross acres m/l of Barnes County, North Dakota cropland and pastureland, located on the west side of Lake Ashtabula, just north of Valley City, ND. The land will be offered as one tract. The farm includes 32.75 acres m/l of FSA cropland with a 74.9 productivity index. The balance--138.96 acres m/l--is currently in pasture, and it's the kind of ground that keeps pulling you back outside: rolling hills and swales, with approximately ½ mile of frontage on Lake Ashtabula. Native grasses dominate the pasture, with pockets of trees that offer cover for game birds and deer. With the lake right at your doorstep, you've got a dependable water source and excellent potential for waterfowl hunting. Properties with this combination of acreage, views, and lake frontage don't come along very often on Lake Ashtabula. Whether you're adding to your land portfolio or looking for a place to graze cattle and spend your mornings in the field and your evenings on the water, this is a special tract worth a hard look.
