Looking for land near Woodbury
Buyers often ask us for a few acres close to Woodbury. I'm Lesley, a REALTOR® with Bridge Realty, and we will tell you plainly what is realistic.
Is there farmland for sale in Woodbury? Rarely at a price that works for farming. Woodbury is a large suburb that has grown steadily, so most remaining land is valued for building. More choices are found east and south of the city, and farther from the metro area.

Where to look instead
Nearby, Lake Elmo still has farmland inside its limits, and Cottage Grove has open land at its edges. For lower prices per acre, many of the farmers we work with look north to Princeton, Mora, Stacy, and Stanchfield.

What farmland looks like in Woodbury
Woodbury is Minnesota's seventh-largest city, 8 miles east of St. Paul on Interstate 94, with public trails around its lakes and more than 160 miles of trails in all.
Woodbury is one of the communities we work in most. It borders Cottage Grove, where I live, and I know how its neighborhoods differ.
- The homes
- Two-story homes, townhomes, and association-maintained communities. Many neighborhoods have a homeowners association.
- Schools people ask about
- Three school districts serve different parts of the city, and South Washington County Schools covers most of it. Confirm the district for any address.
- Getting around
- Interstate 94 runs along the north edge toward St. Paul, and Interstate 494 runs along the west side toward the airport and Bloomington.
- Nearby
- More than 3,300 acres of parks and open space and more than 160 miles of trails, including Carver Lake Park.
- The trade-off
- About 90 percent of the lakeshore is public trail and parkland, so homes directly on a lake are rare.
