DODGE COUNTY, Wisconsin - Land & Legacy Group has successfully represented both the listing and selling sides in the closing of a premium agricultural property located at Lt2 County Road E in Horicon, Wisconsin. Nestled atop a gentle rise in the Town of Hubbard, this 57.87-acre vacant land tract features sprawling stretches of farmland suited for agricultural pursuits. The property is characterized by its rolling, sloped topography and offers buyers breathtaking, scenic views overlooking the tranquil Rock River.  

"Properties of this caliber in Dodge County are incredibly unique because they blend highly productive agricultural soil with exceptional recreational and aesthetic appeal," says Al Wisnefske, Broker/Owner of Land & Legacy Group. "It is rare to find a 50-plus acre parcel that offers both the immediate utility of active farming and the long-term value retention of scenic river valley views. This combination is exactly what today's rural land buyers are searching for."

NAVIGATING LAND DIVISIONS ON AGRICULTURAL PROPERTY IN SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN

One of the primary marketing challenges for this specific property was managing a sale involving a pending land division. Selling a parcel that is subject to final municipal approvals requires precision in how the listing is presented to ensure buyers understand the timeline and contingencies without being deterred. By clearly defining the property boundaries and highlighting the intrinsic value of the land, our brokerage kept buyer interest exceptionally high. Key marketable assets for this property included:  

• 57.87 estimated acres of prime agricultural farmland.  
• Direct paved road frontage on County Road E for easy equipment access.  
• Scenic, rolling topography with a prominent view of the Rock River.  
• Agricultural (FP/GA) zoning allowing for continued farm operations.  

Our strategic approach centered on positioning this tract as a dual-purpose investment: an active farm asset and a picturesque rural retreat. By emphasizing the "endless possibilities" of the landscape and the immediate availability of raw land for farming, we were able to quickly capture the attention of motivated buyers. The marketing specifically targeted operators looking to expand their local footprint and investors seeking heartland assets, ensuring the seller received competitive interest right out of the gate despite the complexities of the pending land split.  

The financial and timeline metrics of this transaction highlight intense market demand. The property was officially listed for sale at $529,000 on August 25, 2023. Due to our targeted marketing efforts, the property went pending in just 4 days on August 28, 2023. The transaction ultimately closed on July 15, 2024, for a final sale price of $500,000 (roughly 94.5% of the original asking price) via conventional financing. The extended gap between the pending date and the closing date was a direct result of safely navigating the required municipal approvals for the pending land division.  

This transaction underscores the robust health of the regional rural land market in Dodge County. Buyers from both local agricultural sectors and commuter pools extending from the Milwaukee metro area continue to drive demand for sizable, 50+ acre rural tracts. Inventory for parcels featuring both tillable acreage and water views remains exceptionally tight. This rapid 4-day pending timeline, coupled with a strong $500,000 closing price, proves Land & Legacy Group's ability to efficiently market complex agricultural assets and secure premium outcomes for Wisconsin landowners.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

What is the value of agricultural land in Dodge County, Wisconsin?

‍The value of agricultural land in Dodge County fluctuates based on soil quality, topography, and secondary features like water access. In this transaction, a 57.87-acre parcel in the Town of Hubbard with agricultural zoning and views of the Rock River sold for $500,000. This equates to approximately $8,640 per acre, establishing a strong benchmark for tillable land with scenic and recreational appeal in the area.  

How long does it take to sell vacant land with a pending land division?

‍While securing a buyer can happen very quickly—as seen with this property going pending in just 4 days—the actual time to close can be extensive when a land division is involved. Because this transaction was subject to final municipal approvals for a CSM (Certified Survey Map) split, it took nearly 11 months from the accepted offer (August 28, 2023) to final closing (July 15, 2024). Partnering with an experienced land broker is crucial to keeping the deal together during this extended administrative period.
