Looking for land near Ramsey
Ramsey is a good base for a land search, because it sits on the north side where the country begins. I'm Lesley, a REALTOR® with Bridge Realty.
Can I buy acreage in Ramsey? Yes. Ramsey covers nearly 30 square miles, and homes on larger lots are part of the city. For farming-sized parcels at a lower price, the search usually continues north.
Talk About Buying Land
From Ramsey, looking north
Many of the farmers we work with have looked north of the metro area, around Princeton, Stacy, Stanchfield, and Mora. Ramsey is already on the north side, so the drive to those areas is shorter from here than from most suburbs. Drive it once before you decide.
For acreage inside the city
We check the well and septic system, confirm with the city what outbuildings and animals the zoning allows, and review the property lines. See buying a home in Ramsey for more on larger lots.
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 Ramsey and our Ramsey page.
