SHEBOYGAN COUNTY, Wisconsin - Land & Legacy Group announces the successful seller representation in the sale of a highly diverse 10.72-acre waterfront tract along State Highway 32 in the Town of Lima, closing at the full list price of $165,000.

Situated just south of Gibbsville, this mixed-use parcel packs an incredible amount of diversity into a compact footprint. Approximately 7 acres of the property consist of open crop ground, providing immediate agricultural utility. The remaining acreage seamlessly transitions into a pristine wooded riparian corridor, featuring approximately 925 feet of frontage along the Onion River.

Nine hundred and twenty-five feet of river frontage on a 10-acre parcel is the kind of feature that stops buyers in their tracks, said Al Wisnefske, Broker/Owner of Land & Legacy Group. You have working farmland on one end and a river running the entire length of the other side. That is two completely different types of value on one deed, and buyers who understand that do not wait around.

‍VALUING MIXED-USE WATERFRONT ACREAGE IN EASTERN WISCONSIN

When marketing riverfront acreage that also features productive tillable ground, the primary marketing hurdle is properly valuing both distinct land classes so the seller maximizes their equity.

Successfully selling a dual-purpose property like this requires targeting buyers who appreciate both agricultural income and recreational utility. This 10.72-acre parcel's value was anchored by a highly desirable combination of assets:

• 7 acres of open, productive crop ground for farming or cash-rent income
• Approximately 925 feet of Onion River frontage providing natural habitat and water views
• Prime, paved road frontage directly on State Highway 32
• Level to wooded topography with natural wetland borders along the river edge

‍

THE STRATEGY: SHOWCASING DUAL-PURPOSE UTILITY

To maximize the value of this tract, the marketing strategy anchored heavily on the sheer scarcity of significant river frontage in Sheboygan County. Finding nearly 1,000 feet of named river frontage on a parcel of this size is exceptionally rare. By highlighting the built-in agricultural base paired with the recreational draw of the Onion River corridor, Land & Legacy Group successfully positioned the property to capture immediate, high-intent buyer interest.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

‍What is waterfront agricultural land worth in Sheboygan County?

‍Mixed-use agricultural land that features significant named water frontage trades at a premium in Sheboygan County. While standard farmland is valued strictly on crop yields, properties along the Onion River combine income production with recreational habitat, driving up the per-acre value. This 10.72-acre parcel on State Highway 32 recently closed at $165,000, or roughly $15,391 per acre.

How do you sell land with a floodplain in Wisconsin?

‍Selling land that includes a partial floodplain (which is common for riverfront acreage) requires a specialized broker who understands local zoning and wetland mapping. By clearly distinguishing the elevated, productive crop ground from the lower, recreational river corridor, a broker can confidently market the property's utility and secure top-dollar from buyers who value both agriculture and natural water features.
