Overview

Description

Bring your plans. Bring your vision. Build what others only imagine. Set on 5.47 acres just minutes from Detroit Lakes, this property is a rare find in a location where space and proximity rarely meet. Property is being sold "AS IS". The existing studio home offers a functional starting point while you plan, design, and create what this setting is truly capable of becoming. The acreage, access, and location make this an exceptional opportunity for a future homesite, or investment project. For individuals ready to start from scratch, this is the kind of setting that inspires big ideas ,modern homestead, custom dream home, private retreat, or creative escape. A detached shed stands ready to be reimagined into a workshop, guest quarters, studio, or storage to support your plans. If your vision calls for even more land, the opportunity of the complimenting 7+ acre parcel with a 5-bedroom home is also available (MLS 7049764), opening the door to expanded possibilities rarely found this close to town. Opportunities like this don’t come finished, they come full of potential.
