    Property Description

    Nestled on 40 acres of mature woods, and pristine countryside, this private retreat on Big Rice Lake offers a rare blend of comfort, functionality, and nature at your doorstep. With the panoramic views, and abundant wildlife, this property is a dream for those seeking peaceful living in a truly scenic setting. The home itself is thoughtfully crafted with a combination of cedar and fiberboard siding, accented by brickwork at the front and topped with architectural shingles for long-lasting curb appeal. Seamless gutters and dual-pane windows. A large deck overlooks the picturesque backyardâ??framed by water, trees, and open spaceâ??creating the perfect spot to relax or entertain. Step inside, and you'll find a functional and welcoming layout across four finished levels. The kitchen features raised oak cabinetry with hidden hinges and generous counter space, while the main level also includes a half bath, laundry area with utility sink, and built-in cabinetry for added convenience. Upstairs, red oak steps lead to three spacious bedrooms, all with ceiling fans. The primary suite features a walk-through bath for privacy and ease, and the full upper bathroom offers a raised oak vanity, built-in linen and medicine cabinets, and ceramic tile flooring. A second linen closet sits just outside in the hallway. The third level offers a large family room, a hallway closet, additional built-in storage, and a nearby three-quarter bath. A fourth bedroom on this level offers flexibility for guests or office space. The walkout lower level leads to the backyard and includes a spacious rec room, cold storage room, and mechanical roomâ??plus a convenient storage space under the deck, perfect for wood if you choose to take advantage of the wood-burning option. Mechanicals include a newer high-efficiency forced air furnace (2024), central air conditioning, a Marathon electric water heater, water softener, and iron filter (which are owned). The attached two-stall garage is designed for ease and efficiency with individual insulated overhead doors, both powered by Craftsman ½ HP openers, a floor drain, and two service doors for added access. For those who need more room to work or store, the detached 20'x24' garage includes new shingles (2023), built-in cabinets and workbenches, LP heater, electricity, insulation, and drywall throughout. A second outbuildingâ??a 30'x40' brown shedâ??is ideal for animal lovers, with stalls for horses or livestock, electricity, water hydrant nearby, and an additional 30'x16' covered area off the back that opens to a partially fenced area, easily enclosed if desired. Nearby, a dedicated garden space offers room to grow fresh produce, right on your own land. From the asphalt driveway to the decorative block retaining wall at the lower-level walkout, every corner of this property was designed to offer a blend of rural charm, comfort, and practical livingâ??all in one breathtaking location. Whether you're looking to homestead, host, or simply escape the bustle of town, this lakeside country sanctuary offers endless possibilities in a setting that's hard to find and even harder to leave.
