5 Tips for Finding a Minnesota Hobby Farm
City and suburban living isn’t the choice of everyone. For many Minnesota homebuyers, an ideal home means living outside of busy metropolitan communities on enough acreage to support farm-style living. For some, raising horses, extensive gardening, or just room to enjoy a relaxed rural lifestyle are appealing reasons to seek out hobby farms. Hunting, fishing, and just escaping from the frantic hustle and bustle of urban living also appeal to many Minnesotans.

In the Minneapolis St. Paul metro area, within commuting distance, numerous hobby farms can be found among listings in the Northstar MLS of Minnesota. For those seeking even more distance from Minnesota’s major cities, almost unlimited possibilities in rural area are available.
- Find the Right Location – The Minneapolis St. Paul metro area also includes many rural and agricultural communities in its seven counties and in the extended 9-county metro area. When looking for hobby farms in the Twin Cites metro area and beyond, you’ll get the best results in our online property search tool by searching by county, since most farm-style properties are located outside of city limits.
- Limit Your Search to Hobby Farms or Land – In our online real estate listings search, powered by the Northstar MLS Listings of Minnesota, you can select specific Property Types to narrow your search. Choose the Farm and Hobby Property Type to preview listings of properties likely to meet your needs in the county you have selected. If vacant land interests you, you can also choose the Lots and Acreage Property Type. Contact our REMAX Realty team to assist you when you find properties of interest.
- Set a Price Range – You can save time in your search by limiting the real estate listings shown to only those that match your budget. In the Property Features section of the search tool, set a price range that matches your goals, and you can skip many properties that won’t be of interest to you. Be flexible, though, and include a wide enough price range to avoid missing opportunities.
