Land with Home for Sale in Orono, Minnesota
940 Brown Rd S, Orono, MN 55391
The wetland delineation is completed as of July 2025 and provides the start for the Land to be split into two properties with additional survey work and city approvals. Presently on the land is a house and a barn with living quarters. If this was to be a 2 lot split the house would be on one side and the barn would be on the second side. Please reach out to the listing agent to discuss this dynamic situation and the early stages of development.
The entire piece can still be purchased as one parcel with the knowledge that you could split it later.
