Sherburne County blends natural beauty with family-friendly living in the heart of Minnesota. Home to Elk River, Big Lake, and Becker, Sherburne County offers excellent schools, new construction homes, and abundant recreational opportunities along the Mississippi River and Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge. Whether you're looking for a starter home, acreage, or a lakeside retreat, Sherburne County delivers quality of life with easy commutes to the Twin Cities. This is where community connections matter and every home sale supports local families.
Elk River doesn't actually have elk anymore, but we do have amazing river views and way better coffee shops than any elk could appreciate.
Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge is home to over 230 bird species. That's more birds than your neighbor's holiday decorating collection!
Big Lake is actually… big. We know, shocking. But with 1,800+ acres, it's the perfect place to lose your fishing pole and find your zen.
The county pronounce is SHER-burn, not SHER-burr-nee. Get it right, or the locals will know you're new here. (Don't worry, we'll still be nice about it!)
Becker hosts the Freedom Days festival every June, proving that Minnesotans will celebrate anything with funnel cakes and a parade.
