Since 1890, hunters have been drawn here year after year and in 1937, a duck camp was established with a cabin being built to host generations of outdoorsmen. Over the decades, the camp became a gathering place, with many notable individuals making the trek here to hunt, pursuing the Redheads and Canvasbacks that continue to frequent the waters of Mineral Lake today. Today, Tommy’s Point offers not only a rich sporting history but also the opportunity to enjoy the tranquility of lakeshore living. The property features an insulated and heated two-bedroom cabin with electricity, complete with a cozy living room, functional kitchen, and a storage area for all your gear. Whether you’re seeking a weekend getaway, a base for waterfowl season, or simply a quiet retreat, the cabin provides comfort while keeping you close to nature. The most notable feature of this parcel is the point, extending southwest into Mineral Lake, providing level lake access - a great place to set up for your hunt or to launch a boat. The setting is truly remarkable—surrounded by water, the point offers sweeping views of Mineral Lake and a sense of privacy that is hard to find. From morning sunrises over the water to evenings spent listening to loons call across the lake, Tommy’s Point captures the essence of Minnesota lake life. One of the best parts of hunting Tommy's Point is that because this is a private hunting property, you can place your decoys early in the season and leave them set up. Show up with your shotgun and tennis shoes, and you're ready to hunt! Although Mineral Lake is officially classified as a public lake, it has no public access, giving the lake a private feel. At 735 acres, this hard bottom lake is known for excellent fishing and provides an unmatched level of privacy. For outdoor enthusiasts, this is a place where tradition meets recreation. For those seeking peace and relaxation, it’s a sanctuary to escape the rush of everyday life. This is the first time in history that Tommy's Point has publicly come up for sale. So if you're looking for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase one of the most historic duck hunting camps in West Central Minnesota, you'll want to take a look at Tommy's Point. This property will be sold via online auction, with a one-time open house on Saturday, October 11th, 2025, from 2 - 4 PM. The online auction will conclude Friday, October 17th at 2 PM.
