Located in western Wright County between Howard Lake and Waverly, this 54± acre surveyed property offers a combination of tillable land and recreational use opportunities. The property sits immediately south of Highway 12 and is accessed by a recorded 66 foot wide deeded easement off Hart Ave SW, providing established legal access to the parcel. The property contains approximately 39± acres of tillable ground. According to the seller, there will be roughly 25 acres in row crop for 2026 and the balance is being harvested for sod by a third party. When the sod is harvested, these acres are converted over to traditional row crops (corn/soybeans). The seller states that the sod production in 2025 generated roughly $1,000 in income at approximately $0.25 per sod roll. The traditional row crop acre income estimates for 2026 according to the seller is approximately $5,300. As of right now, the tillable land has “open tenancy” if someone want to run or rent the land out themselves in 2026 Sod production would then be an addition to this if a new buyer decides to continue the agreement. There is no obligation or contract requiring sod production, allowing future owners to determine the agricultural direction best suited to their plans. The property includes existing drainage features consisting of open ditches along with portions of installed drainage tile that support agricultural usability. The relatively level terrain and established field history may provide efficiency for farming operations, subject to buyer verification and management practices. While the property is primarily open ground, it also presents recreational potential. During initial site visits, turkey activity was observed on the western portion of the property. Wildlife presence in the area may be influenced by the nearby Twelve Mile Creek corridor located to the east and southeast, which serves as a natural travel route for wildlife. A future owner could explore habitat improvements such as strategic food plots or leaving portions of acreage unharvested to encourage seasonal wildlife use. Any habitat or hunting outcomes will depend on management decisions and surrounding land use. The location offers convenient proximity to several surrounding communities. Waverly lies approximately 5 miles east, while Howard Lake is roughly 5 miles west. Buffalo, a larger regional center with additional services and amenities, is about 12 miles northeast. Access to Highway 12 allows for travel toward the western Twin Cities metropolitan area, which is approximately 43 miles east of Howard Lake. This parcel may appeal to buyers seeking productive acreage with income potential, agricultural expansion ground, or a recreational holding with opportunities for habitat development. Buyers are encouraged to complete standard due diligence regarding zoning, land use regulations, drainage systems, and agricultural suitability.

This approximately 15 acre property is located just south of Howard Lake in Wright County Minnesota and offers a rural setting suitable for a future homesite. The land provides a country environment with a mix of open ground and natural cover that supports both building potential and outdoor use. The property has convenient access from a township road which allows reliable year round travel to and from the acreage. The primary feature of this property is its potential for a new residential build. The sellers will complete the survey, secure the formal split from the parent tract, and obtain necessary rezoning for a buyer prior to closing. This process provides a clear path for establishing a new homesite, subject to Wright County regulations, permitting requirements and any additional due diligence a buyer may wish to conduct. Prospective buyers should verify utility availability, soil suitability and any other site related considerations with local authorities and service providers. In addition to its suitability for a new home, the property offers recreational value. The acreage includes areas of cover that support wildlife movement, creating opportunities for hunting and outdoor activities. While relatively small in total acreage, the layout and natural vegetation provide legitimate chances for observing or pursuing game species in accordance with state seasons and regulations. The blend of open ground and habitat also allows room for trails, small scale plantings or other recreational improvements depending on a buyer's plans. The location adds practical value for those seeking rural living while still needing convenient access to neighboring communities. Howard Lake is located immediately to the north of the property. Waverly is approximately 5 miles east, Cokato is roughly 6 miles to the west, Winsted is approximately 7 miles south. Buffalo, a larger regional community with additional services, sits about 12 miles to the northeast. The property is also within commuting distance of the western Twin Cities area, offering access to employment centers and amenities while still maintaining the character of a country parcel. Wright County is known for its combination of agricultural land, lakes and rural residential development. The region supports a wide range of outdoor interests and small town resources while providing direct highway routes toward the metropolitan area. This parcel fits within that landscape as a manageable tract that can accommodate a home while still offering space for recreation and enjoyment. Buyers are encouraged to conduct standard due diligence including review of county zoning requirements, building regulations, utility connections, soil testing and any additional site preparation needs. Because the property will be surveyed and rezoned prior to closing, final acreage and boundary configuration will be confirmed through that process. The result will be a newly defined parcel ready for a buyer to move forward with planning a residence or additional improvements. This acreage offers a balance of buildable potential and outdoor opportunity in a quiet rural setting. With the survey, split and rezoning already planned for completion prior to closing, the property positions a future owner to pursue a new homesite with the added benefit of onsite recreation.
