Description
This 60.7 +/- deeded acre property in South Central Minnesota, located just outside the Mankato city limits, presents a rare opportunity for solar energy development in a region known for its strong solar incentives and support. The site is turnkey and nearly shovel-ready, having already undergone extensive zoning work with the township, greatly reducing the time and effort needed to move forward with a project. With a solar-friendly local government and close proximity to existing solar infrastructure, including power lines, a substation, and an adjacent solar array, the property is ideally positioned for renewable energy use. It is large enough to accommodate a 5 MW community solar project and falls within the service area of Xcel Energy, providing confidence in connectivity and long-term energy distribution. Currently used as high-quality, tillable farmland, the land is also available for lease for solar development. The owner is open to continuing farming operations during and after construction on any acres not covered by the solar array, offering added flexibility for dual-use development. In addition to its immediate viability as a solar site, the property's location and size offer a range of future development opportunities, making this a highly attractive and versatile investment.
