Property Details

Some land is purchased with intention. This property was built on vision!

When the seller acquired this 38-acre parcel outside Ellsworth, it wasn’t speculative and it wasn’t rushed. It was the culmination of a carefully defined plan — one centered on how they wanted to live, not just where they wanted to own land.

They were searching for balance: privacy without isolation, scenery without excess, and land that offered views, trees, and quiet in equal measure. This property delivered immediately — but they didn’t stop there.

They invested in doing it right, they purchased all 3 parcels to recombine it back to one, however the splits exist should a buyer decide to divide in the future. (10ac., 18.65 ac., 9.358 ac.)

Soil evaluations were completed, eliminating uncertainty and laying the groundwork for confident future construction. One of the premier build sites was thoughtfully cleared and positioned to capture eastern views, allowing the day to begin with light pouring across the landscape. Just as importantly, the site was oriented with southern exposure, ideal for an energy-efficient home design and future solar potential.

Access to the build site is an experience in itself.

A picturesque, gently crowned driveway winds through the property, framed by mature trees on both sides. The approach feels less like a driveway and more like a processional —  similar to passing through a cathedral, where the canopy above opens gradually before revealing one of the most impressive building sites we’ve seen in Pierce County.

At the top, the land opens naturally into a spectacular homesite, laid out with intention and flow. There’s room not only for a home, but for life to happen around it — including a dedicated patio and picnic area, perfectly positioned to take in the surroundings, entertain guests, or simply sit quietly and take it all in.

Beyond the build sites, the property continues to impress. Topography defines the landscape, with ridges, elevation changes, drainages and natural contours that give the land character and long-term appeal. Whitetail deer and turkey are prevalent, moving naturally through the draws and edges — a constant reminder that this is still wild ground.

The original plan was to build, settle in — a place that could be lived on, enjoyed, and appreciated for decades. Unfortunately, a sudden and tragic life event changed that path, a decision the seller never anticipated.

This land is being offered not because it lacked promise — but because it has so much of it.

Today, it stands ready for the next owner who understands that truly special properties aren’t accidental. They’re imagined, prepared, and cared for. Whether your vision is to build now, hold for the future, or secure a rare piece of Pierce County with both lifestyle and investment upside, this property offers an opportunity that is increasingly hard to find.

Location continues to be one of the strongest drivers of value here, and this area is seeing growing interest from buyers intentionally moving outside the cities in search of space, privacy, and quality of life.

Positioned south of River Falls and near the fast-growing community of Prescott, this property sits in a corridor where larger acreage parcels are increasingly hard to find. Buyers are drawn to the ability to own meaningful land while still maintaining reasonable access to employment centers and services. From the property, you’re approximately 10 minutes to Ellsworth, 25 minutes to River Falls, 45–50 minutes to downtown St. Paul, and under an hour to downtown Minneapolis, making it a realistic option for hybrid or full-time commuters. For those who travel, Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport offers extensive domestic and international flight options within an easy drive. It’s this combination—space, scenery, accessibility, and momentum—that continues to push demand toward larger tracts like this one, especially among buyers planning for the next chapter of life.

Some visions don’t end — they’re simply passed on.
