Discover the perfect blend of privacy, nature, and distinctive architecture with this one-of-a-kind Earth Berm home nestled on more than 13 wooded acres. The South Fork of the Zumbro River meanders through the property, creating an exceptional setting surrounded by mature trees, beautiful landscaping, abundant wildlife, and the peaceful sounds of nature.
The lower level serves as the home's main living area and features two bedrooms, convenient laundry, and a warm, inviting living room anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace. The spacious primary bedroom connects to a walk-through bath featuring a dual-sink vanity and walk-in shower, providing both private access and convenient entry from the hallway. The updated kitchen offers stainless steel appliances and opens seamlessly to the dining area.
Just beyond, the spectacular heated sunroom steals the show. With more windows than walls, in-floor heat, a soaring wood ceiling, and a cozy gas fireplace, this incredible space is designed to bring the outdoors in while providing year-round comfort. Step outside to the massive deck overlooking the beautifully landscaped grounds and wooded surroundings.
The upper level offers a private third bedroom, welcoming foyer, and access to the oversized attached two-stall garage, creating a functional separation between the living and entry spaces.
Outside, the property is equally impressive with a 30' x 45' pole building complete with a horse stall, open lawn areas, and secret wooded trails through the acreage. Whether you're relaxing on the deck, exploring your own private forest, or enjoying the quiet serenity of this remarkable setting, this unique home offers a lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find.
