This approximately 15 acre property is located just south of Howard Lake in Wright County Minnesota and offers a rural setting suitable for a future homesite. The land provides a country environment with a mix of open ground and natural cover that supports both building potential and outdoor use. The property has convenient access from a township road which allows reliable year round travel to and from the acreage. The primary feature of this property is its potential for a new residential build. The sellers will complete the survey, secure the formal split from the parent tract, and obtain necessary rezoning for a buyer prior to closing. This process provides a clear path for establishing a new homesite, subject to Wright County regulations, permitting requirements and any additional due diligence a buyer may wish to conduct. Prospective buyers should verify utility availability, soil suitability and any other site related considerations with local authorities and service providers. In addition to its suitability for a new home, the property offers recreational value. The acreage includes areas of cover that support wildlife movement, creating opportunities for hunting and outdoor activities. While relatively small in total acreage, the layout and natural vegetation provide legitimate chances for observing or pursuing game species in accordance with state seasons and regulations. The blend of open ground and habitat also allows room for trails, small scale plantings or other recreational improvements depending on a buyer's plans. The location adds practical value for those seeking rural living while still needing convenient access to neighboring communities. Howard Lake is located immediately to the north of the property. Waverly is approximately 5 miles east, Cokato is roughly 6 miles to the west, Winsted is approximately 7 miles south. Buffalo, a larger regional community with additional services, sits about 12 miles to the northeast. The property is also within commuting distance of the western Twin Cities area, offering access to employment centers and amenities while still maintaining the character of a country parcel. Wright County is known for its combination of agricultural land, lakes and rural residential development. The region supports a wide range of outdoor interests and small town resources while providing direct highway routes toward the metropolitan area. This parcel fits within that landscape as a manageable tract that can accommodate a home while still offering space for recreation and enjoyment. Buyers are encouraged to conduct standard due diligence including review of county zoning requirements, building regulations, utility connections, soil testing and any additional site preparation needs. Because the property will be surveyed and rezoned prior to closing, final acreage and boundary configuration will be confirmed through that process. The result will be a newly defined parcel ready for a buyer to move forward with planning a residence or additional improvements. This acreage offers a balance of buildable potential and outdoor opportunity in a quiet rural setting. With the survey, split and rezoning already planned for completion prior to closing, the property positions a future owner to pursue a new homesite with the added benefit of onsite recreation.
Development land with potential for up to 25 city lots. Some development work was completed in the late 1990's. The property includes storm sewer installed along the future extension of Fairway Blvd; roads have been rough cut. It appears a number of lots would have walkout potential on the future Eagle Court. The city of Howard Lake is in need of developed lots to maintain the demand for new homes. The past 12 months, there has been 10 new construction homes, sold and closed within the city. More land is available for future development.
