Farmland and Acreage for Minnetonka Buyers
Buy farmland and acreage in Minnesota knowing what the land can produce, what you can build, and what it will cost to own.
Looking for land near Minnetonka
Minnetonka has large wooded lots, and that is different from farmland. I'm Lesley, a REALTOR® with Bridge Realty.
Can I buy farmland in Minnetonka? Not farmland in the working sense. You can find homes on larger wooded lots in the city, but land to farm is found farther west and north, outside the suburbs.
Talk About Buying Land
A large lot or true acreage?
If you want privacy, trees, and room around your home, a large lot in Minnetonka may be enough. See buying a home in Minnetonka. If you want to grow crops, keep animals, or build outbuildings, you need land zoned for it, and we look beyond the city.
What changes when you leave the suburbs
City water and sewer give way to a well and a septic system. Roads may be gravel. The county or township, not a city, decides what you may build. We help you get those answers before you offer.
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 Minnetonka and our Minnetonka page.

Minnetonka
What farmland looks like in Minnetonka
Minnetonka is a Hennepin County city of about 53,800 people, 10 miles west of Minneapolis, with wooded lots, three creeks, and the eastern tip of Lake Minnetonka.
Minnetonka is known for wooded neighborhoods and creek corridors. Only the eastern tip of Lake Minnetonka is inside the city, which surprises many buyers.
- The homes
- Homes built over many decades, often on wooded or sloped lots, along with townhomes and condominiums.
- Schools people ask about
- Hopkins, Minnetonka, and Wayzata school districts each serve part of the city. The address decides which.
- Getting around
- Interstate 394 leads east to downtown Minneapolis, Interstate 494 runs north and south through the city, and Highway 169 runs along the east side.
- Nearby
- 49 parks and more than 100 miles of trails, many along the Minnehaha, Nine Mile, and Purgatory creek corridors.
- The trade-off
- Only the eastern tip of Lake Minnetonka is inside the city, so most Minnetonka homes are not lake homes.
