Home For Sale

Nestled on 40 acres of mature woods, and pristine countryside, this private retreat on Big Rice Lake offers a rare blend of comfort, functionality, and nature at your doorstep. With the panoramic views, and abundant wildlife, this property is a dream for those seeking peaceful living in a truly scenic setting.
The home itself is thoughtfully crafted with a combination of cedar and fiberboard siding, accented by brickwork at the front and topped with architectural shingles for long-lasting curb appeal. Seamless gutters and dual-pane windows. A large deck overlooks the picturesque backyard--framed by water, trees, and open space--creating the perfect spot to relax or entertain.
Step inside, and you'll find a functional and welcoming layout across four finished levels. The kitchen features raised oak cabinetry with hidden hinges and generous counter space, while the main level also includes a half bath, laundry area with utility sink, and built-in cabinetry for added convenience.
Upstairs, red oak steps lead to three spacious bedrooms, all with ceiling fans. The primary suite features a walk-through bath for privacy and ease, and the full upper bathroom offers a raised oak vanity, built-in linen and medicine cabinets, and ceramic tile flooring. A second linen closet sits just outside in the hallway.
The third level offers a large family room, a hallway closet, additional built-in storage, and a nearby three-quarter bath. A fourth bedroom on this level offers flexibility for guests or office space. The walkout lower level leads to the backyard and includes a spacious rec room, cold storage room, and mechanical room--plus a convenient storage space under the deck, perfect for wood if you choose to take advantage of the wood-burning option.
Mechanicals include a newer high-efficiency forced air furnace (2024), central air conditioning, a Marathon electric water heater, water softener, and iron filter (which are owned).
The attached two-stall garage is designed for ease and efficiency with individual insulated overhead doors, both powered by Craftsman 1/2 HP openers, a floor drain, and two service doors for added access.
For those who need more room to work or store, the detached 20'x24' garage includes new shingles (2023), built-in cabinets and workbenches, LP heater, electricity, insulation, and drywall throughout. A second outbuilding--a 30'x40' brown shed--is ideal for animal lovers, with stalls for horses or livestock, electricity, water hydrant nearby, and an additional 30'x16' covered area off the back that opens to a partially fenced area, easily enclosed if desired. Nearby, a dedicated garden space offers room to grow fresh produce, right on your own land.
From the asphalt driveway to the decorative block retaining wall at the lower-level walkout, every corner of this property was designed to offer a blend of rural charm, comfort, and practical living--all in one breathtaking location.
Whether you're looking to homestead, host, or simply escape the bustle of town, this lakeside country sanctuary offers endless possibilities in a setting that's hard to find and even harder to leave.
