Oronoco MN Farmland for Sale | 81.83 Acres with Hwy 52 Development Potential | Near Rochester & Mayo Clinic
Prime income-producing farmland with strong future development potential — 81.83 acres located in Oronoco Township, Olmsted County, Minnesota, just off Highway 52 near the 75th Street NW exit. This property offers immediate cash flow from agriculture while sitting in one of the most strategic growth corridors in Southeast Minnesota.
Currently leased at $250 per tillable acre, this land generates approximately $18,525 per year in reliable income from the same tenant of 35 years. With a weighted average CPI of 88.0 and predominantly well-drained soils, it is productive working farmland today — and positioned for significant upside tomorrow.
Location & Growth Potential
Positioned minutes from Rochester in the active Hwy 52 corridor, this parcel benefits from proximity to Mayo Clinic’s multi-billion-dollar Bold.Forward.Unbound. expansion and the Destination Medical Center (DMC) economic momentum. The property is near existing commercial developments, including Oronoco Crossings, and offers excellent highway access and visibility.
This makes it an outstanding opportunity for buyers seeking land with commercial or industrial rezoning potential while continuing to generate agricultural income in the meantime. Ideal for investors, developers, or those looking for a strategic land play in a proven growth market.
