An exceptional opportunity to own a meticulously maintained, one owner, 5-bedroom, custom built home in an enchanted 25-acre forest with premier hunting, hiking, ATV-ing, or just peaceful living -wild-life saturated land. The land has 2 creeks, 2 ravines, a meadow and a duck pond to get lost in. Located just off Hwy 169, a short 30 miles South of the southern metro and north of Mankato, you'll find this private retreat. The perfect blue print: Entering into the dramatic Great Room, you'll step onto fresh new carpet, a welcoming living room with a gas fireplace, open kitchen, a great gathering area with sprawling wall to wall windows with views of this once in a life time property. Solid oak doors, and oak floors throughout. This home feels like home. Two huge bedrooms on the main floor. The mud room, off the garage is highly desirable and spacious, equipped with a bathroom, laundry and plenty of space to clean up. Private access to the basement also accessible through the garage, also known as what could be a mother-in-law suite. The lower level has a large gathering room, with wall-to-wall windows and great light. Three more very large bedrooms in the lower level, and full bathroom. Besides the two-car attached garage, you'll have plenty of space for your ATV's, boats and toys in the detached 2 car garage. Our favorite "Minnesota Room" is tucked in the forest. This cedar lined shed has a deck, wood-burning stove, electric and wall to wall windows to watch the deer, turkey, ducks, eagles and more go by. This home was built to last with ABC Steel siding, Pella designer windows, 2x6 construction, 12-inch block around the perimeter of the house and 4 feet of poured concrete, and the whole house lined with plywood. Once you take a step inside, you'll realize this house is solid!
