Tbd County Road D Emerald, WI 54013

Opportunity knocks on County Road D: approximately 38 acres of versatile, do-it-all land in the Town of Emerald, eastern St. Croix County, just over an hour from Minneapolis and Saint Paul. This is the rare tract that truly lets you build, hunt, and farm on one offering, two parcels sold together with paved county-road frontage and easy, deeded access with no shared easements to negotiate. Build your dream home or weekend getaway here. A blend of high, workable ground, mature woods, and grassy edges sets up a private building site for a walkout home, hobby farm, or cabin, with room for a pole barn, garden, orchard, horses, or cattle. Bring your house plans and your imagination. Rural St. Croix County is one of the most sought-after places in western Wisconsin to put down roots, prized for country living within commuting distance of the Twin Cities. Put the land to work. A substantial portion is open, productive tillable cropland that has been actively farmed, ready to keep in cash rent for income, plant to your own corn, beans, or hay, or convert to food plots and pasture. Tillable acres, grassy transitions, and wooded cover let you balance farm income with wildlife habitat on the same parcel. Hunters, take note. The wooded north end, planted with evergreens, along with other mature trees and brushy edges meeting open crop fields, creates textbook whitetail and turkey habitat: bedding and security cover beside a built-in food source. St. Croix County sits in Wisconsin's Central Farmland deer zone, known for heavy-bodied, mature bucks, and the property's own trail cameras have captured numerous bucks, does, wild turkeys, and even a black bear, proof of the game this rich, wild country holds. There is room to hang stands along the timber edges, cut shooting lanes, and plant clover or brassica plots. Abundant public hunting is close by, including the 156-acre Emerald Valley Wildlife Area in the township and the roughly 2,342-acre Cylon Wildlife Area just to the north, plus numerous Waterfowl Production Areas across the surrounding wetland district. Live the St. Croix Valley lifestyle. Spend summers tubing the Apple River, boating and fishing the St. Croix River and 1,120-acre Cedar Lake, and hiking 13 miles of trails to Willow Falls at Willow River State Park near Hudson. Golf at nearby Glen Hills Park, ride the area ATV and snowmobile trails, and enjoy wineries, orchards, craft breweries, and small-town festivals through every season. New Richmond, with its hospital, shopping, and regional airport, is about 18 miles away; Hudson and Interstate 94 are about 30 miles; Stillwater is about 36 miles; and the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metro is roughly an hour, making this an ideal primary homestead, recreational retreat, or Minnesota second home just across the border in beautiful western Wisconsin. Smart, low-cost ownership. Holding costs are minimal, with agricultural taxes of only about $122 per year, in one of Wisconsin's fastest-growing counties, and a proven path of progress.
