Recent improvements include a new roof, new decks, updated plumbing, new flooring, new furnace & water heater, new countertops, and an upgraded septic system, giving you the confidence to move in and start enjoying immediately. A full list of upgrades with dates is available for your review. Inside, spacious, light-filled living areas invite you to relax, create, and connect, whether you're sipping coffee in the sunroom, working in the heated workshop, or tending plants in the permanent greenhouse. The Prairie River borders the property, offering a private dock for fishing, kayaking, or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings. With so much space both inside and out, this property could serve as a beautiful family retreat, a private event venue, or a gathering place for generations to come. Adding even more value, a secondary holding tank is already installed on PID 23-420-0062, offering flexibility to build a second dwelling, create a guesthouse, or establish an RV site. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, a hobbyist’s paradise, or a northern Minnesota escape, opportunities like this — offering privacy, convenience, and thoughtful upgrades — are truly rare.
