The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has state lands for sale in in Anoka, Houston, Itasca, St. Louis, and Wadena counties. The 17 parcels for sale include rural lands, with many recreational opportunities.

Annual land sales help the DNR optimize its land holdings and meet its responsibility to maximize recreational, conservation, and economic opportunities for the state. The DNR sells land at public auction in accordance with state statutes. This year, the DNR will offer two public oral bid auctions in October, followed by an online auction later this fall.

DNR public oral bid auction schedule

In-person auctions are scheduled at the following locations. Registration starts a half hour prior to the auction.

  1. Parcels for sale in Wadena County will be offered at an in-person auction on Friday, Oct. 14 at 11 a.m. at the Wadena County Courthouse, 415 Jefferson Street South, Wadena, Minnesota 56482.
