115 Main St S, Blomkest, MN 56216

Rare estate-related real estate auction opportunity in a prime Main St. location between Willmar and Hutchinson. Located in Kandiyohi County's popular Willmar Lakes Area, the property benefits from hundreds of nearby recreational lakes, lake resorts, seasonal visitors, and strong regional outdoor recreation appeal. This former schoolhouse is not bank-owned or a foreclosure—it is a carefully maintained property with clear pride of ownership, exceptional space, and a distinctive history. One of the property's most unique features is approximately 5,236 sq. ft. of insulated, finished, heated, and air-conditioned garage/flex space, including both a main-level garage and a lower-level tuck-under garage. Whether used for vehicles, storage, hobbies, equipment, workshop space, a home-based business, or future redevelopment, these climate-controlled spaces offer flexibility that is difficult to find. Currently zoned residential, the property may also present future commercial possibilities, subject to City approval. A City letter indicates openness to considering a rezoning request; buyers should verify all zoning, permitted uses, approvals, and future plans directly with the City. With its Main St. visibility, expansive layout, and adaptable design, the property offers exceptional potential for homeowners, investors, owner-users, business owners, live/work users, developers, and other buyers seeking a truly unique property. Additional highlights include a new roof (2024), working mechanical systems, and an inviting outdoor patio fireplace for entertaining. This property is being offered through an online auction. The MLS list price is for MLS purposes only and is not the asking price, reserve price, minimum bid, or market value. Showings begin July 9. Online bidding opens July 22 and begins closing at 1:00 PM on August 12. Property is sold as-is, subject to Seller confirmation. Full auction terms and bidder registration requirements apply.
