Buffalo County — Wisconsin's Driftless Area Property Market
Unlike most of Wisconsin, Buffalo County was never covered by the last glaciation — leaving an ancient landscape of steep limestone bluffs rising 500+ feet above the Mississippi River, narrow river valleys, and spring-fed coulees. This Driftless Area topography makes Buffalo County one of Wisconsin's most distinctive property markets: farmland sells at a median of $6,659 per acre, large wooded bluff parcels attract hunters and outdoor buyers, and river-bottom tracts draw agricultural investors. With only 13 residential sales recorded in 2026 and just 19.8 residents per square mile, this is one of Wisconsin's lowest-turnover counties — making thorough parcel research essential before any transaction.
