Description
Here is a rare opportunity to purchase an excellent-sized acreage just minutes from historic downtown Lanesboro. The 1996 custom-built home has awe-inspiring views as it sits on the bluff top overlooking the South Branch of the Root River and the Root River State Trail. There is so much to do in this area. It's an excellent spot to be your forever home, vacation home, or used as an investment for a VRBO or Air B&B. The Old Barn Resort and Golf Course are only minutes away; downtown Lanesboro is also only minutes away for local shopping, dining, entertainment, biking, canoeing, rafting, and more. The South Branch of the Root River and the Root River State Trail runs along the property's West side, allowing you to fish within walking distance of your backdoor. The paved Root River State Trail meanders 42 miles alongside the Root River from Fountain to Houston for your biking, walking, and running experience.
The home features a stone front and vinyl-coated steel siding; the roof is about 12 years old. Going around the back of the house, you will see the huge deck that runs the length of the home with the grand stone fireplace, which offers those awe-inspiring views you long for after a long day. You will sit back, relax, and enjoy an evening drink and a good book without being seen by a soul. The house has solid hardwood floors, solid oak doors, fiber optic internet, security system. The entryway opens to the large dining room table area, kitchen, and living room. The living room features a tall vaulted ceiling and a stone fireplace overlooked by the loft. You can access the large deck from the main suite, living room, or kitchen. The main bedroom is large and has a walk-in closet, a main bathroom with dual sinks, and a tile floor. The other two bedrooms are located on the main floor and have a bathroom with sink and toilet, then a Jack/Jill Style shower/tub combo in between. The basement boasts over 2,000 square feet of unfinished living area and features a walkout entry to the cement porch under the deck. The septic was designed for a five-bedroom home if you finish the basement.
Regarding hunting, the property is unique in shape but offers some great hunting opportunities. You have full access from the house, and as you head north along the property line, the slope gets very steep, providing a perfect pinch and funnel for the deer to travel. There is a nice spot to put a food plot inside the timber next to the neighbor's tillable land. You can use the bike trail to access the deep valley that is part of the property on the north end; there is an overgrown old logging road there that you could clear out and maybe even add a food plot. There are some areas just north of the house on the hill. You could also add food plots and box blinds for hunting right out your door.
