19817 Dogwood Rd, Lake Crystal, MN 56055

Can you imagine owning your own little acreage just minutes from Lake Crystal, Hwy 169, and roughly 10 minutes from the edge of Mankato? This truly one-of-a-kind property offers 5.86 private, wooded acres with Minneopa Creek running right through the property, views overlooking Lilly Lake, and even a portion of land along the lake! Wildlife, water views, mature trees, and room to breathe make this setting incredibly special. The property also features a recently built 30x48 shop with 6-mil poly beneath the concrete, a vapor barrier added to the walls during construction, and two insulated overhead doors to be installed prior to closing, plus a charming shed currently used for gardening and sectioned off for the sellers’ chickens. Now, let’s talk about the BEAUTIFULLY updated home! The bright, open main living area features soaring vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and a gorgeous custom kitchen with cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, updated lighting, and an easy flow into the dining and living areas. The main-level primary suite offers dual closets and a beautiful private bath with heated tile floors, double quartz vanity, and a glass-enclosed, two-head tiled shower with a river rock floor. A convenient half bath is also located on the main level. The window-filled three-season porch is already wired for a mini-split and offers beautiful views of Minneopa Creek, Lilly Lake, and the surrounding wildlife, while the fully opening glass patio doors provide access to the two-tier, maintenance-free deck with a hot tub. The redesigned mudroom/laundry room off the attached two-stall garage features a utility sink, custom cabinetry, and a newer combination washer/dryer with ventless heat-pump technology. The walkout lower level features a spacious family room with newer carpet, a custom wet bar plumbed and ready for a sink, two additional bedrooms, a ¾ bath, a generous cedar-lined storage closet, and a utility room. The home also includes a new roof in May of 2026, a premium Iron Curtain water treatment system with an iron filter, water softener, and reverse osmosis serving the kitchen sink and refrigerator. This isn’t simply a home on acreage—it’s privacy, water views, wildlife, a creek, a 30x48 shop, room for chickens, beautiful indoor and outdoor living spaces, and the convenience of being just minutes from town.
