Beautiful 4-Bedroom, 3-Bath Country Home On 6.5± Acres Near Bemidji

Welcome to this outstanding hobby farm and country home located at 1559 Stone Lake Road in Beltrami County, Minnesota. Situated on approximately 6.5 acres of rolling high ground just minutes from Bemidji, this well-maintained property offers a rare combination of rural privacy, modern conveniences, livestock infrastructure, recreational opportunities, and a spacious family home.

The property features a contemporary four-level residence built in 1977 with approximately 2,880 square feet of finished living space. The home's functional floor plan provides ample room for families, entertaining, and everyday living. All four bedrooms are located on the upper level, creating a practical and family-friendly layout. The spacious primary suite includes a private ensuite bathroom and a walk-in closet.

The main level features an inviting L-shaped living and dining area that offers plenty of room for gatherings. The kitchen provides direct access to a large rear deck complete with two covered pergolas and a hot tub, creating an excellent outdoor living space for relaxing and entertaining. Multiple living areas throughout the home offer flexibility for family activities, hobbies, or guests.

The lower level includes an additional living area with direct access to the attached two-stall garage, while the basement offers a recreation room, bar area, wine cellar, half bath, laundry room, and gas fireplace. A wood-burning fireplace and attached woodshed add warmth and character to the home during Minnesota's colder months.

Recent improvements completed in 2026 have significantly enhanced the home's appeal and functionality. Updates include new carpet and flooring throughout the entire upper level, laminate flooring in the main-level kitchen, dining, and living areas, completely renovated main and primary bathrooms, new vinyl flooring in the lower-level living area, updated light fixtures, receptacles, and switches, fresh paint throughout the main and upper levels, and two new mini-split heating and cooling systems serving the main and upper levels.

Additional features include steel siding, a newer roof, high-speed internet service, an updated well, a compliant septic system (SSTS), and a horseshoe-shaped asphalt driveway. The property enjoys year-round accessibility via paved roads all the way to Bemidji.

The outbuildings are exceptionally suited for hobby farming, livestock, equipment storage, and workshop use. A 24'x36' heated workshop features concrete floors, built-in workbenches, an electric overhead door, a sliding side door, and a wood pellet stove for supplemental heat. A separate 8'x10' garden shed provides additional storage space.

The impressive 32'x56' pole barn is designed for livestock and agricultural use. Features include 14-foot sidewalls, a 12'x14' overhead door, enclosed hay storage, a tack room, a dedicated work area, and lean-to storage on both sides of the structure. The barn connects directly to fenced livestock areas through multiple gates and three side stall doors, providing excellent functionality for horses, cattle, goats, or other livestock.

Outside, the property offers fenced pasture acreage, a stock pond, and additional acreage that could easily be fenced to expand livestock operations. The rolling landscape features a diverse mix of mature aspen, pine, and hardwood trees that provide privacy, natural beauty, and wildlife habitat. The beautifully maintained yard and landscaping create a welcoming setting while still preserving the property's rural character.

Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the recreational opportunities available directly on the property. Deer and wild turkey are frequent visitors, allowing hunting and wildlife viewing right from your own backyard. The mix of timber, open pasture, and varied terrain creates an attractive habitat for local wildlife.

Location is another major highlight of this property. Despite its peaceful country setting, the home is conveniently located only 2.5 miles from Bemidji High School, approximately 5 miles from downtown Bemidji and Lake Bemidji, and roughly 7 miles from Bemidji State University and Sanford Medical Center. Nearby recreational destinations include Lake Bemidji State Park, Itasca State Park, and Lake La Salle, offering year-round opportunities for fishing, boating, hiking, camping, and outdoor adventure.

Whether you are looking for a family home, hobby farm, horse property, recreational retreat, or a country residence close to town, this Beltrami County property offers a unique opportunity to enjoy rural Minnesota living without sacrificing convenience. The combination of recent updates, quality improvements, functional outbuildings, pasture acreage, wildlife habitat, and proximity to Bemidji makes this a property that deserves serious consideration.
