Dunn County’s Dynamic Duo – Where Tillable Gold Meets Trophy Trails

Dunn County is the ultimate hybrid hunting property—rolling fields of corn and soybeans flowing into oak-studded ridges, with the Red Cedar River threading through like a lifeline for wildlife. For 25 years, I’ve been Mike Law, owner of Coulee Land Company, filming outdoor television right here—setting up blinds at the edge of alfalfa plots, rattling in mature bucks from timbered draws, and capturing sunrise drone shots over 80-acre spreads that scream “legacy.” I’m not some polished influencer pushing hashtags; I’m the guy who’s knee-deep in soil samples at dawn, knows every deer trail from Menomonie to Colfax, and has closed $15 million in Dunn County land with handshake integrity. Right now, Dunn County values have climbed 36% in five years, with ag-hunt combos commanding $8,000–$10,000 per acre. If you’re sitting on 40–120 acres—whether it’s 20 tillable for cash rent, thick bedding cover, or creek frontage for ducksthis is your harvest season. Lets unpack the market surge, dissect recent sales, reveal why Coulee Land Company dominates, and show how Mike Law’s field-proven strategies turn land into life-changing equity. Let’s open the gate to your future.
The Power of Versatility: Why Dunn County Buyers Can’t Get Enough Dunn County isn’t one-dimensional—it’s a multi-tool for outdoor enthusiasts. You’ve got:

  • Cash-Flow Tillable: 15–50 acres of prime soil earning $150–$300/acre in rent.
  • Deer Magnet Habitat: CRP edges, oak flats, and thermal cover that hold whitetails year-round.
  • Water Features: The Red Cedar and Hay Rivers draw turkey, ducks, and trophy bass.
  • Proximity Perks: Just 45 minutes from Eau Claire, perfect for Twin Cities execs seeking weekend retreats.

I once filmed a segment on a 90-acre Dunn parcel where the owner rotated corn and clover—three 160+ bucks harvested in four years. Buyers search “Dunn County hunting land with income” because they want ROI + recreation. With 80,000 acres of public land nearby, your private tract becomes the crown jewel. LandWatch reports a 35% spike in Dunn-specific queries—your land isn’t just for sale; it’s in demand.

By the Numbers: 36% Appreciation and Red-Hot CompsDunn County land has outperformed urban markets, rising from $5,900/acre in 2020 to $8,000 in 2024—a 36% gain. Average days on market: 48. 72% sell over asking. Inventory: 3.8 months—pure seller’s leverage.
