Looking for land near Lakeville
Lakeville has kept building as the metro area has grown south, and open land remains in and around it. I'm Lesley, a REALTOR® with Bridge Realty.
Can I buy farmland near Lakeville? Yes, parcels come up in and around the city, which covers more than 38 square miles. Because Lakeville is growing, land may be priced for future building, so affordable farming parcels are harder to find.
Talk About Buying Land
Ask about the future of the land
In a growing city, the long-range plan matters. A parcel planned for homes or industry may be taxed and priced differently from one meant to stay agricultural. We ask the city and the county what is planned before you buy.
Looking south of the city
Dakota County continues south of Lakeville into more rural country. If your budget does not fit land near the city, we extend the search in that direction and show you the difference.
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 Lakeville and our Lakeville page.
Send us a message with your acres, your budget, and your plan for the land, or call (651) 661-4770.
