If you've been dreaming of a peaceful country setting, this property is worth a look. Tucked among mature trees and surrounded by nature, it offers the kind of quiet rural lifestyle that's getting harder to find, while still being conveniently located between Brainerd and Staples. Even better, the property is adjacent to over 200 acres of state land, providing exceptional access to outdoor recreation and wildlife right out your back door. The charming story-and-a-half home features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and has been nicely updated while still retaining some of its original character. You'll find beautiful hardwood floors in portions of the home, complemented by modern updates that make it comfortable and move-in ready. The unfinished basement offers plenty of storage space and includes an egress window, providing the potential for an additional bedroom or expanded living space in the future. Take a stroll along the trails that wind through the woods and connect directly to the adjoining state land, perfect for exploring, hunting, hiking, or simply enjoying the outdoors. The property is home to wild plum trees, blueberries, and raspberries, giving you a little taste of nature right in your own backyard. One of the highlights is the beautiful traditional red barn, full of character and charm. The barn is in great shape overall and ready for use, although the roof will need to be completed. The home can be heated with either the outdoor wood boiler or fuel oil, offering flexibility and efficiency throughout the year. The insulated 48 x 30 shop is heated by the wood boiler system with in-floor heat, making it a comfortable workspace even during the colder months. Whether you're looking for a hobby farm, a recreational retreat, or simply a place to enjoy country living, you'll appreciate the peaceful surroundings, abundant wildlife, beautiful countryside views, and room to spread out and enjoy life at a slower pace.
