10 ACRES IN GERMANTOWN, WASHINGTON COUNTY, WISCONSIN SELLS FOR $267,500

WHAT THE LAND OFFERED

This 10-acre parcel on Wasaukee Rd in Germantown sat right on the Washington and Ozaukee County line, a location that brought genuine buyer interest on its own. The land was a mixed property type with the east half made up of open farm ground and the west side dropping into lower wetland and wooded terrain. That contrast gave the parcel something that straight farmland or straight timber rarely offers: the ability to build on elevated ground while looking out over a natural wetland area.

Topography was level to sloped with wooded sections and wetland, and the eastern open ground included multiple potential build sites with paved road frontage along Wasaukee Rd. Zoning was Agricultural and Other. The parcel was raw land with no water or waste infrastructure in place, keeping the entry price accessible while leaving full flexibility for a buyer to develop or hold. Additional acreage was potentially available adjacent to the parcel. The seller agreed to complete a survey and soil evaluation prior to closing.

HOW THE SALE CAME TOGETHER

The property listed at $279,000 in February 2022 and went under contract in 14 days, closing September 27, 2022 at $267,500. The buyer was represented by James Menger of Keller Williams Prestige. A two-week contract on a raw land parcel requiring a survey and perc test before closing reflects how seriously buyers in the Milwaukee metro area take well-located acreage when it comes available.

Al Wisnefske of Land & Legacy Group LLC represented the seller. "The county line location was a real asset here," Wisnefske said. "Buyers who are looking at Washington County and Ozaukee County both end up looking at a parcel like this one, and when you add the open buildable ground on one side and the wetland views on the other, it becomes a hard combination to pass up. Fourteen days is a fast result for raw land, and the price held close to list."

THE GERMANTOWN AND WASHINGTON COUNTY LAND MARKET

The Village of Germantown and the surrounding Washington County townships have been a consistent target for buyers looking for buildable acreage within commuting range of Milwaukee. Parcels along the Washington and Ozaukee County line carry extra appeal because they draw from two separate buyer pools. When a parcel has paved road frontage, natural features, and flexibility in how it can be used or developed, buyer interest tends to stack up quickly.

At $267,500 for 10 acres, this transaction came out to roughly $26,750 per acre for raw land in a highly desirable corridor. For landowners with similar holdings in Washington County, Ozaukee County, or the communities along their shared border, that number provides a useful reference point. Raw land with good bones and a strong location continues to find buyers, even before utilities are in the ground.
