HEYING SUBDIVISION PLOT MAP
About Us: Heying Subdivision is a subsidiary of Wes Heying Carpentry. Wes & Julie Heying have created a new housing subdivision here in Monona and are offering home building lots for sale. The Heying Subdivision is located on the corner of East Street N. and North Street E. Wes Heying has been a self-employed carpenter here in the Monona area for about 20 years. Over the years, he has built numerous houses, as well as completing many large renovations, additions, and other building projects.
Having spent much of his career building homes here in the Monona area, Heying decided to try a new endeavor. Wes Heying began developing his own subdivision to complement the quality way of living life here in the peaceful town of Monona. Within a reasonable distance to downtown stores, medical facilities, restaurants, churches, and major highways, yet far enough away for privacy, Heying purchased farmland situated to the north of Monona and began transforming it to become a picturesque residential building ground.
Building Lots: Heying Subdivision boasts 9 spacious single-family residential building lots. Lot prices range from $20,000 to $30,000. As lots sell, the list below is subject to change, so contact Wes for updated availability. As of today, only 3 lots remain, and there's only 1 corner lot left to own!
