Talk About Buying Land
Land near a growing city
New neighborhoods are still being built here, which affects land in two ways. Prices can reflect what a developer would pay, not what a farm earns. And the city's plans decide what a parcel may be used for in the future. Before you offer, we ask the city how the land is zoned and what is planned around it.
Being ready when a parcel appears
Have your lender chosen, your funds documented, and your list of requirements written down. If you hold a state farm grant, your lender and we plan the closing around its rules.
What to check on any parcel, and the details of the state's down payment grant, are on our farmland and acreage page. If you also need a house, see buying a home in Cottage Grove and our Cottage Grove page.
Send us a message with your acres, your budget, and your plan for the land, or call (651) 661-4770.

What farmland looks like in Cottage Grove
Cottage Grove is a river city in southern Washington County, about 10 miles south of St. Paul, with 1960s ranch homes, newer neighborhoods, and 515 acres of ravine parkland.
Cottage Grove sits on the Mississippi River along Highway 61. It is where I live, and I know its neighborhoods street by street.
- The homes
- Ranch-style and split-level homes from the late 1950s through the 1970s, newer subdivisions, townhomes, and new construction in neighborhoods such as Eastbrooke, Hawthorne, and Ravine Crossing.
- Schools people ask about
- South Washington County Schools serves the city. Confirm the schools for any address with the district.
- Getting around
- Highway 61, which shares the road with Highway 10 here, runs north to Interstate 494 and St. Paul.
- Nearby
- More than 1,300 acres of public parkland and about 45 miles of trails, including Hamlet Park and Highland Park.
