Relax as you travel along your scenic half mile private driveway meandering along the the picturesque trout stream to your secluded home in the bluffs of Southeast Minnesota. Fields of wildflowers tucked in between woodlands make this a breathtaking retreat.

Countless hours of habitat improvement work have resulted in an excellent forage base along with spawning habitat and growth and retention of fish on this 3800 foot private section of Trout Run. A 2004 wild trout population assessment of Burncroft's private stream habitat conservation project provided the following results: a total of 2567 wild brown trout per mile, 824 fish 14 inches and over, with 20" + fish not uncommon. The numbers of fish have continued to increase each year.

The stewartship of the land doesn't stop with the trout stream. The woodlands and fields are managed for deer, turkey and pheasant with a focus on feeding, nesting and bedding. Burncroft boasts numerous deer travel corridors. This combined with surrounding properties practicing quality deer management allows for the growth of trophy bucks. Flocks of wild turkey plus pheasant, ducks and geese and grouse provide ample opportunity to hunt during the spring and fall seasons.
