A beautifully maintained 20-acre country property set up and ready for horse enthusiasts. This single-level log home offers the perfect blend of comfort and functionality, featuring a metal roof, central air, and a cozy freestanding wood fireplace for those northern Minnesota winters.
The property has been thoughtfully improved with established pasture areas and fencing, making it turnkey for horses or hobby farming. The spacious garage includes a dedicated tack room and heated workspace, giving you plenty of room for equipment, animals, and projects.
Located just minutes from town and surrounded by some of the area’s best outdoor recreation—including nearby lakes, the Mississippi River, public hunting land, and Schoolcraft State Park—this property delivers the ideal mix of privacy, usability, and access to everything that makes “up north” living special.
