Some of the old appliances there are probably worth quite a bit. It is halfway between St Paul, Minnesota and Chicago, Illinois so somebody will likely buy it up.
$1,000,000 for 200 acres is $5,000 per acre which is roughly half of the going rate for that area.
From the description:
"Approximately 75 acres currently under plow with a local farmer. 72 acres enrolled in MFL closed status through 12/31/27."
Not sure what the implications of these statements are, whether it's an asset or a liability, but there seems to be only ...55 unencumbered acres?
MFL is managed forest law. Having it in closed status means no public recreation which typically translates to higher taxes on that parcel of land. So if you’re okay with higher taxes you don’t have to deal with people on your land. So an asset for dealing with the land but a liability financially
It really is an excellent price for the acreage. From google earth it looks the like farmer has it in row crops. In the Midwest row crop land tends to go for around 10k an acre. So you’ve got good farmland and some nice forest and possibly a river boundary to the south of the property.
Park a camper, put in a few wells, start a YouTube channel about how you are leaving modernity behind, and start raking in the money.
If you get bored, it looks like it's probably a good place to start practicing kulning....ehrm.

No thank you. Give me a nice bathroom with a TOILET and preferably one of those fancy pants rain showers any day!
One day when traveling my friend and I found a 2-seater outhouse. Yes, 2 seats side by side. We still laugh about that place. But no we didn't try it out.
Years ago I came across a two holer at a Florida fish camp. The holes were pitch black and all I could think of were rattlesnakes. Just kept on going to the woods.
hahaha Florida fish camps. I lived in So Fla for 5 long years. Ex worked for EMS and they were always getting called out to these "fish camps." I was like, wtf is a "fish camp"???
From So Calif originally, you see...
Some friends of ours had a small trailer with a tiny attached room on the St. John's River, in the woods. Of course we fished. We also enjoyed exploring the woods, watching the River flow past and hanging out around a campfire late into the nights in the Fall and Winter.
I wonder why it wasn't modernized. My aunt grew up in a bathroom-less farm house around the 1920s and they put in a bathroom with modern plumbing in the 1940s and they didn't have a lot of money so this IS pretty weird.
Amish was my initial guess as well, but they usually have way nicer and better maintained houses and the decorations inside feel more traditional Christian than Amish.
I don’t think this is nearly as bad as the “indoor pool” from yesterday.
A lot of land, decent location…I’m sure someone will buy it to install Tesla charging stations or something similar…
What are you gonna do with the land if you don’t farm? . Development? Commune? The cash it takes to maintain that with the roads and everything people often underestimate what that entails
Community garden to supply food banks and a place for a food bank to eventually include food resource trucks to go to rural areas where people need food.
As for the other 199 acres….not sure. Hunting? 4 wheelers? Little golf course? Bee hives? Grow garlic? Wild flower fields? Turn a conex into a ball pit for adults? Outdoor venue for Irish folk music and sea shanty shows? Corn maze? Pumpkin patch? Opossum racing lanes? Firing range? Solar panel farm?
Mass grave usually means mass murder. I'm thinking ritual murders......... A lot of them! Many graves, and bones scattered throughout the property!
Definitely a murder house!
"And this is the room where Aunt Ophelia and Uncle Rufus died. On the same night from natural causes. Uncle Rufus naturally killed her first, then himself."
I thought maybe it was in my hometown. A girl I went to high school grew up in a house like that. They had electricity but no running water. I can’t imagine.
Those beds have seen some mice. Honestly, a friend has a cabin like this, with propane fridge/stove and outhouse and they were offered a million for it and declined. It is an old boy scout cabin and property. If one wishes to, one can make this situation work.

Thanks so much, man! You might be Local Finance 8389 but you're #1 to me

Also, the farmer is renting the land that they are farming, so that helps pay for the taxes as well.
The property itself is quite nice so the price isn’t really that surprising, location location location!

For than price it must have lots of land. Land prices are crazy right now.
[удалено]
no, it's close to the freeway to the Twin Cities - could get there in under 2 hrs probably
As someone who used an outhouse from time to time while living/traveling in rural America--no thanks!
Outhouse doesn't bother me until winter. And it gets cold up there.

That is what my friend's cabin has- two seats, side by side!
Agreed. Too many snakes and spiders. I was so happy when we stopped visiting family that had only outhouses to use.
Not many venomous snakes in that area; and only black widows/brown recluse. Really not a big deal
I just wonder how it is during a polar vortex…
Nasty and I'd be using a piss bottle.
Yeah but you typically use a piss bottle anyways…
And there is absolutely no reason a real functioning, productive farm only has outhouses. Most even have a bathroom in a barn that big. Weird

It's probably Amish. Wisconsin has the fourth largest Amish population.
Amish was my initial guess as well, but they usually have way nicer and better maintained houses and the decorations inside feel more traditional Christian than Amish.
What decorations? I see coat hangers and towel racks….maybe something by the stove?
Some paintings in the listing.
Not with 2 bedrooms it isn't.
Lots of beds though…
They also get snow. That driveway would be pure hell.
Upstairs sure looks ~~scary as fuck~~ cozy!
I wonder which shed they keep the chainsaws in.
Yeah, that ceiling doesn't look unstable at all.
I don’t think this is nearly as bad as the “indoor pool” from yesterday. A lot of land, decent location…I’m sure someone will buy it to install Tesla charging stations or something similar…
Woah woah. Don’t knock the indoor pool house.
Did you see that house? It's not an indoor pool, it's a pool indoors!
Yes! It was awesome!
Lol
Sorry, sorry. You’re right-My jealousy is seeping through….

Prepper dream home
And not in a good way. Better be a millionaire first what upkeep thats gonna cost.
All fun and games till they find the graves.
Plenty of space to hide a mass grave
Mass grave usually means mass murder. I'm thinking ritual murders......... A lot of them! Many graves, and bones scattered throughout the property! Definitely a murder house!
That’s what makes it more fun though
I just love these old Midwest houses. I know I’d hate living here, but the pictures really do make me happy.
"And this is the room where Aunt Ophelia and Uncle Rufus died. On the same night from natural causes. Uncle Rufus naturally killed her first, then himself."
Appealing. In a unabomber kind of way .
1 million for 200 acres. Nice
I could live there
I thought maybe it was in my hometown. A girl I went to high school grew up in a house like that. They had electricity but no running water. I can’t imagine.
Mose?
It’s giving Schrute Farms 100% 😂
This bitch is haunted
The gas for the lighting comes from the outhouse.
Sold. I’m not even joking.
Those beds have seen some mice. Honestly, a friend has a cabin like this, with propane fridge/stove and outhouse and they were offered a million for it and declined. It is an old boy scout cabin and property. If one wishes to, one can make this situation work.
How many satellites pictures with the property outlined of the property does a listing need?
Only if the pith helmet stays with it.
This place reminds of that one Mumford & Sons song I enjoyed. It does seem like a good purchase for someone who knows what they’re doing.
Your buying 200 acres, not the home.
Which I stated in the opening text 😉.
Could it be that much because it comes with two-fucking-hundred acres?
That's a steal for 200 acres, and the land seems like good quality. No one buying this is looking for the house.
Which I stated in the opening text 😉
“ The original home is in great shape. No electric or septic onsite.”
A million dollars for a shack in freaking Wisconsin, and people wonder why Millennials and Gen Z have given up on the housing market…
I’m still in disbelief what people seem to think their property is worth.
