PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

LandProz is pleased to present the New Solar Development Auction in Benton County, MN. This 71.7 +/- Acres will be offered to the public to bid their price via AuctionCast at LandProz.com.

Rare brand-new solar investment opportunity located east of St. Cloud in Benton County, Central Minnesota, featuring approximately 71.7 +/- acres of farmland/development land ownership. The property is part of a very large, approved solar energy project, with brand-new construction scheduled to begin in July 2026. A new long-term solar lease with scheduled increases provides the potential for strong, positive net cash flow, with the first payment estimated for February 2027 at closing. The project is being developed by a large national solar company, with energy being purchased by a very large publicly traded utility company, adding significant strength to the overall opportunity. With proper permitting, excellent relationships with local authorities, potential tax-saving strategies, future appreciation potential, and additional upside, this is a rare turnkey investment opportunity for an investor seeking long-term income and real estate ownership. Buyers have the opportunity to acquire the property at the beginning of its solar income stream, potentially receiving the first payment at closing.

 

Please contact LandProz Auction Manager Brian Haugen at 507-208-0791 for more information regarding this property.
