Property Description

This rare 31+-acre country homestead borders Barnum city limits and offers a full rural lifestyle with modern comforts and investment potential. With Outbuildings, Maturing Orchard, Pond, Hunting, and Expansion Potential . The 2,300+ sq. ft. finished split-entry home features 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, office and walkout lower level, abundant closet and storage space, and peaceful pond views from the kitchen and primary bedroom. Expertly crafted by Dynamic Homes of Detroit Lakes, MN, and professionally set on a permanent foundation—far surpassing typical modular expectations in quality and finish. Key upgrades include a new roof on the home, attached garage, and detached garage (2023) and an ultra-efficient propane furnace installed in 2022 with dual-fuel electric backup. Enjoy a maturing apple orchard, established raspberry & blackberry patches, grape vines, gardens, and seasonal hay stumpage income. Property is ag-classified for significant property tax savings. The Willard Munger Trail is directly across the road for biking, hiking, skiing, and snowmobiling. An enclosed deer stand is already in place for on-site hunting. This 33-acre parcel was carefully configured during professional surveying to exclude the highway easement along the back portion. This means you are not paying property taxes on unusable road right-of-way — a smart, long-term benefit that maximizes your usable acreage and reduces the overall tax burden. The property was originally larger, but legally tailored to preserve only the functional land. Priced below a 2025 appraisal, so plenty of equity for a buyer. Enjoy convenient access to I-35, offering a quick drive to Duluth, Lake Superior, nearby state parks, and countless public lands for year-round outdoor recreation. The area is rich with lakes, trails, and opportunities for fishing, boating, hiking, skiing, snowmobiling, and more. Additional information available on land, and home.
