THE CARLISLE LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Glacial Lake Agassiz Basin setting.

Carlisle township has 34.8 square miles of land in Otter Tail County. Its Census reference point is in Glacial Lake Agassiz Basin, within Lake Agassiz Plain.

The former bed of glacial Lake Agassiz forms an exceptionally flat plain in the Red River valley. Thick lake sediments overlie older glacial deposits across this historic prairie landscape.

Carlisle and Otter Tail County

Carlisle is associated with Otter Tail County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.

Otter Tail County

Carlisle by land and water

The Census records 0.8 square miles of water within Carlisle, or 2.2% of its total area. It is 9.1 percentage points lower than the 11.4% recorded for Otter Tail County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Carlisle township has 93.4 times the land area of nearby Foxhome city (0.37 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Carlisle land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Locate the parcel within Carlisle

Use a tax bill, deed, or assessor’s parcel number to pin down the land in Carlisle. Check the Otter Tail County geography against the actual property location.

02

Read the Glacial Lake Agassiz Basin setting

Glacial Lake Agassiz Basin belongs to Lake Agassiz Plain. What do the parcel's elevation and drainage records show, and how does its road access connect across the flat former lakebed?

03

Check the route, beyond Foxhome

Foxhome is 5.6 miles southwest of the Carlisle reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?

QUESTIONS GROUNDED IN THIS PLACE

Your Carlisle
land questions.

Have a tax bill, an inherited deed, or simply a map pin? Start with what you have.

What should I send for land in Carlisle?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Otter Tail County. Carlisle’s 34.8 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Carlisle property in Glacial Lake Agassiz Basin?+

No. Glacial Lake Agassiz Basin is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Carlisle boundary and individual properties can cross landscape transitions. Open the regional source and the topographic map, then locate the actual parcel before applying regional context.

Can I use Foxhome as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 5.6 miles southwest of Carlisle’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near Carlisle?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners. We review the parcel before deciding whether to propose a purchase; if a sale moves forward, the closing company can explain remote signing arrangements.
