Offer by Cerron Commercial Properties
For Sale: 4944 280th Street E, Randolph, MN 55065
Updated Price: $995, 000
Dakota County PID#s: 31-00500-80-020 and 31-00500-05-010 2025

Total Acreage: Approximately 11.86 acres (10.8 acres net of right-of-way) MLS #: 6722559
This standout 10.8-acre parcel (net of ROW) is actively used as productive farmland and a turnkey hobby farm, featuring a beautifully renovated two-story home with full basement, extensive outbuildings, and income-generating potential. Zoned Light Industrial, it offers a rare and flexible opportunity: continue enjoying residential/agricultural use today (including living on-site or renting the home, farming, or grazing livestock) while gradually developing sections for industrial purposes—such as outdoor storage, truck parking, or light operations—leveraging its direct adjacent to the Great Western Industrial Park.
Strategic Transitional & Income Advantages
• Current Farmland/Hobby Farm Use: Approximately 6 acres of tillable farmland generate potential rental income. Additional pasture provides free beef through grazing agreements with local cattle operations. The property is ideal for short-term farming, livestock raising, or equestrian activities, with an automatic watering system (maintenance-free waterer) already in place for animals.
• Light Industrial Zoning with Phased Development: Buyers can phase in commercial uses over time—utilizing open land for outdoor storage, truck/trailer parking, equipment work areas, or rail-supported operations—while retaining the home and outbuildings for personal or rental use. This "live/work/develop" setup minimizes disruption and maximizes early income.
• Prime Location & Synergies: Directly abuts the Great Western Industrial Park (a growing rail-served hub with businesses like processing and trucking operations), offering seamless adjacency for industrial support activities. Excellent frontage/access on County Road 86; only 3 miles to Highway 52 for quick access to the Twin Cities (30 minutes) and Rochester (50 minutes).
Key Property Highlights
• Rail Service: Direct connectivity via Union Pacific (Class I) and short-line Progressive Rail—ideal for future bulk or industrial needs.
• Utilities: Shared sand point well serves the house and garage; existing septic system. Electrical service is off-peak configured for cost savings.
• Zoning & Approvals: Light Industrial; township may require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for certain uses—confirm with Randolph Township.
Residential & Outbuilding Details
• Two-Story Home with Full Basement: Three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence (~2, 352 sq ft total, foundation size 884 sq ft) originally built in 1935 but extensively remodeled (most of the house updated).
o Hardwood floors on the main level.
