The Splendor of Land Ownership!

Minnesota offers a rich year-round heritage for people longing to spend time outdoors. Our land, our woods, and our lakes create the backdrop for countless memories of family gatherings and ventures. Be it ice fishing on one of our countless ‘No-Name' lakes or traveling trails - by foot or sled or hoof or ATV - Minnesota offers a bounty of outdoor recreation opportunities.

Much of this heritage began with the family farms of yesterday. Those farms became - and still remain - the primary gathering points for some of our best upland bird hunting, waterfowl hunting, deer hunting, and fishing. It would be difficult for me to imagine an existence devoid of these memories.

Speaking from personal experience, the most-cherished of all my memories of outdoor excursion and adventure have taken place on my family's home farm. A property we have been so privileged to have resided on and managed for over 100 years and five generations. This, in a nutshell, illustrates the allure of property ownership. It is the preservation of history and a link to both past and future generations.

If you are seriously considering the dream of owning your personal duck pass or deer woods or ‘Lake No-Name', there are countless opportunities available. And now, with the bonus of low interest rates, we have not just countless opportunities - but perfect opportunities - to turn those dreams into reality.

Real estate has historically been a great investment for three reasons. First, there is a limited supply (no more is being made). Second, we are seeing an ever-increasing demand as Baby Boomers seek to enter a major chapter in their lives: Retirement in Minnesota's Lake Country. And, third, it is an investment you can walk on, you can point to it on a map, and you can build all your dreams and memories on it. Try doing that on a day-by-day basis with a money market account!

Take care - and stay safe,
