Private 5.37-Acre Retreat Near Carlos Avery & Coon Lake!
Set back behind a mature tree line in Columbus, MN, this custom 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom walkout home offers total privacy with the 25,000-acre Carlos Avery Wildlife Area right in your backyard—plus a planned walking path nearby that will lead straight to Coon Lake Beach.
A classic 42-foot covered wrap-around front porch welcomes you into a bright main level with solid hardwood floors and an open layout flowing from the kitchen to the living and dining rooms. Large windows let in tons of light, and sliding doors lead to a massive 27x14 deck with a custom metal-roof gazebo.
The upper level gives you 3 bedrooms on one floor, including a primary suite with a soaking tub, plus upper-level laundry. Downstairs, the finished walkout basement features a big family room, gaming area, 4th bedroom, full bath, and great storage. You’ll especially appreciate the cozy in-floor radiant heat in the lower-level bedroom and bathroom during chilly Minnesota winters!
Step out back to a true backyard oasis: a private sand volleyball court with a hot/cold outdoor shower, paver patio with pergola, attached 3-car garage, and a custom 20x10 powered shed with a storage loft.
Schedule your private showing today to experience this property in person! (24-hour notice requested as sellers work from home).
