Unique. Grand. Unforgettable. This one-of-a-kind 30+ acre property is nearly impossible to capture in words—you truly need to experience it in person. At the heart of the nearly 5,000 finished sq ft farmhouse is an incredible piece of local history: a fully intact 1912 wood cabin, one of the only remaining structures in the area from the great fire, preserved within the home built around it in 1990. Designed for those looking for space, recreation, self-sufficiency, or simply something unlike anything else on the market, the property features 400-amp electrical service, a greenhouse, expansive acreage, and direct access to the 226-mile Soo Line Trail—ideal for snowmobiling, ATV riding, hiking, and year-round recreation. The land is as impressive as the home. Established gardens currently produce corn, carrots, potatoes, broccoli, onions, beets, cucumbers, zucchini, and several varieties of squash. The property features a diverse mix of ash, pine, maple, birch, and poplar, along with plum, elderberry, and Juneberry trees. Inside, nearly 5,000 finished sq ft provides tremendous flexibility, with multiple rooms that can serve as home offices, exercise areas, hobby rooms, study spaces, guest accommodations, and more. Enjoy a private country setting while remaining just approximately 7 miles from Moose Lake, offering shopping, groceries, schools, banking, dining, and Essentia Health–Moose Lake, a Critical Access Hospital with Level IV Trauma Center and Acute Stroke Ready Hospital designations. History. Acreage. Recreation. Gardens. Space. This property brings them all together in a way you simply don't find every day. Come experience it for yourself—and while you're here, see if you can find Olga's writing on the wall from 1912.
