Auctioneer's Note:

This  beautiful 125 year old ranch has been owned by the Johnson family since 1900.  This is a once in a lifetime  opportunity to own all or part of this historic ranch.

We are offering this ranch in 7 different parcels.  Parcel 1 is a 10 quarter tract with the ranch headquarters on the east side.  Due to the rugged topography and limited access we are selling this parcel the way Johnsons operated it.  It includes the highest point in Morton County.

To view the land please call Shane Wolff at 701-870-9090. 

NOTE: The Morton County State Land Lease is Thursday, October 2nd!
