Overview

Description

Imagine coming home to a peaceful, park-like retreat set on 5.46 acres in the scenic Chisago Lakes area, close enough for an easy 30-minute drive to the Twin Cities, yet far enough to enjoy true privacy and the quiet charm of country living. This beautifully maintained property reflects years of care and pride of ownership. The land itself is a standout feature, with over 1,000 trees creating a lush, natural setting. A grove of approximately 130 black walnut trees adds a unique and enchanting touch, while thoughtful planting of flowering crabapples, evergreens, paper birch and maple trees frame the property with seasonal beauty. For those who love projects, hobbies, or need extra storage, the impressive outbuilding is a rare find. Carefully designed with two spacious sections, it offers flexibility for workshops, equipment, or creative pursuits—all built with durable materials and generous access points. The outdoor living spaces are just as inviting. A maintenance-free deck leads down to a large concrete patio—perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The backyard also includes a fenced area ideal for pets or children, a sandy space for games, and a cozy firepit for evenings under the stars. Inside, the home is warm and welcoming, featuring four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main level includes an eat-in kitchen, dining room, living room, and two bedrooms, while the lower level offers a comfortable family room with a gas fireplace, two additional bedrooms, and a ¾ bath providing plenty of room for both everyday living and guests.With major updates already completed-including a new roof, siding, exterior doors, and more-this home is truly move-in ready. It’s a place where you can settle in, unwind, and enjoy the perfect blend of nature, comfort, and convenience. Look in supplements for updates and improvements!
