This property has been in the same family for almost 40 years. The land forms an almost perfect 40 acre square that is subdivided into a 10 acre parcel and a surrounding 30 acre parcel. There is one building entitlement for both parcels combined. An established driveway and electrical power lead to the ideal build site. Another plus is the pre-existing capped 4" well also at the location and an older garage which is currently used for storage. Wildlife such as deer, turkey and pheasant abound as a result of the park-like nature of this quiet parcel. Abundant game trails culminate in excellent hunting potential. A narrow meandering creek, The South Fork of Watab Creek runs through the western and back sides of the wooded area of the land. There are orange ribbons marking the approximate boundaries. A survey is required to determine exact boundaries. Please verify with Stearns County Environmental Services to verify and discuss what your plans are. This is Zoned A40.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
