Minnesota land real estate

Minnesota land overview

Even though Minnesota's nickname is "Land of 10,000 Lakes," it's actually home to almost 12,000 lakes that are at least 10 acres in size. The state also has over 6,000 rivers and streams, so it's no surprise fishing and boating are popular recreational activities. Northern Minnesota is somewhat rugged, consisting of deep lakes and streams, rocky ridges, and thick forests. This includes the North Woods where you can find some excellent recreational property. The western part of the state features rolling plains covered by fertile topsoil and has some of the country's richest farmland. Southeastern Minnesota consists of bluffs, valleys, and caverns, while southwest Minnesota is characterized by thick glacial deposits of clay and gravel. People looking for land in Minnesota are often looking for lakefront property, fishing and hunting land, and agricultural acreage.
