SHEBOYGAN COUNTY, Wisconsin - Land & Legacy Group announces the successful seller representation in the sale of a fully prepared 5.01-acre wooded parcel in the Town of Scott, closing at the full asking price of $175,000.

Located along Boltonville Road in the Random Lake area, this acreage features a highly desirable mix of level and sloped terrain heavily blanketed in mature timber. This diverse topography provides the kind of natural, wooded privacy that buyers in Sheboygan County actively seek. With paved road frontage and absolutely zero floodplain on the parcel, this tract offered an ideal footprint for a rural residential build.

When a seller does the legwork upfront, the survey, the soil evaluation, the site clearing, it tells buyers this land is serious and ready, said Al Wisnefske, Broker/Owner of Land & Legacy Group. That preparation is a big part of why this one moved at full price.

‍HOW TO VALUE BUILDABLE VACANT LAND IN EASTERN WISCONSIN

‍When marketing a 5-acre residential parcel, the primary marketing hurdle is mitigating the buyer's risk and reducing their timeline to build. Most raw land requires a buyer to wait months—and spend thousands of dollars out of pocket—just to find out if the land can legally support a home and septic system.

Successfully capturing a premium, full-price offer requires showcasing the land as a turn-key building site rather than raw dirt. To secure maximum equity, this property was marketed with these high-value, pre-completed assets:

• An active, approved Soil Evaluation Report (perc test) for a 4-bedroom mound system
• A fully completed and recorded Certified Survey Map (CSM)
• A pre-cleared homesite ready for immediate excavation
• An established, installed driveway entrance off Boltonville Road‍

‍

‍THE STRATEGY: SHOWCASING TURN-KEY PREPARATION

‍To maximize the value of this tract, the sale strategy anchored heavily on the sheer scarcity of fully prepared building sites in Sheboygan County. By disclosing a minor 50-foot pipeline easement upfront and factoring it into the initial pricing, Land & Legacy Group positioned the parcel as a completely transparent, risk-free acquisition. This allowed us to target highly motivated buyers who were eager to bypass the initial phases of land prep and move straight into construction.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

What is a 5-acre parcel worth in Sheboygan County?

‍The value of a 5-acre parcel in Sheboygan County depends on its buildability. Raw land with no testing commands a lower price, while a fully prepared site with an installed driveway, a completed Certified Survey Map (CSM), and a passing soil evaluation for a septic system will sell at a premium. This fully prepped 5.01-acre lot on Boltonville Road recently sold for $175,000.

How do you sell vacant land to homebuilders in Wisconsin?

‍The best way to sell vacant land for top dollar is to remove the buyer's risk. If you complete the heavy lifting upfront—such as clearing the homesite, securing a soil evaluation for a septic system, and legally recording the survey—buyers can finance the land easier and start building immediately. Partnering with a specialized land broker ensures these improvements are properly valued and marketed to the right buyer pool.
