Description

Stunning old farmhouse has been meticulously rebuilt by a builder who planned to make it his own home. Every detail was handcrafted to perfection, blending old-time charm with modern finishes. Rustic barn doors, tin accents, hickory floors, and knotty pine throughout bring the outdoors in, creating a warm, inviting, and unique living space. Set on 12 private acres, the property includes 2 detached garages, a large red barn, tractor shed, a chicken barn, and an additional storage shed. Fruit trees including apples, peach, & pear. As well as blueberries, raspberries, mulberries, and grapes surround the home, offering a true hobby farm experience. Five acres of hay ground provide plenty of space for horses or other livestock, with fenced areas surrounding the barn for easy animal management. Enjoy peaceful privacy, wildlife sightings, and the quiet of a country setting while still being just 80 miles from MSP International Airport. The home is equipped for off-grid living with a wood-burning stove as well as updated forced air heating, central air. Recent updates include a well (March 2025) and a full septic system with a mound. Inside, the home features beautifully grouted tile, hickory cabinetry with galvanized pulls, and a spacious layout perfect for entertaining or relaxing with family. The large red barn has endless potential—convert it into a workspace, additional living area, or keep it functional for animals. Whether you’re seeking a primary home, weekend retreat, or hobby farm, this property offers the best of country living with modern comfort and craftsmanship. Don’t miss this rare 12-acre gem!
