For Ryan Nagelhout, it’s about the people as much as it is about the land. While he has a passion for the outdoors, he also enjoys meeting people and building relationships. Ryan understands that buying and selling land is a major life decision. That’s why he’s determined to find the best possible outcome for his clients, helping them realize their goals and have the best overall experience.

Born and raised in South Dakota, Ryan grew up in Volga where he graduated from Sioux Valley High School and Dakota State University in Madison. He spent time in manufacturing sales and project management and, most recently, agriculture equipment sales prior to joining American Legacy Land Co. He’s been involved in investment real estate for a number of years and loves being able to combine his passions for the outdoors, agriculture, and real estate.

Ryan’s an avid hunter of deer, pheasant, elk and waterfowl, and enjoys fishing for walleye, a passion he developed early on spending time hunting and fishing with his dad. He lives on a hobby farm with his wife, Molly, and sons, Lane and Logan, where they raise a small herd of black angus cows and a few horses. He enjoys working on the family’s acreage, spending time at the lake, and attending and coaching his kids’ sporting activities. If you’re in the market for farmland, recreational or investment properties in South Dakota or Minnesota, be sure to give Ryan a call.
