Absolutely charming gated 25 acre horse or hobby farm surrounded by rolling countryside with spectacular views. Numerous updates to the residence. Neutral decor, pine wood floors, enameled woodwork, updated bathrooms and more! For the enthusiastic amateur or professional horse person, features include 2 separate barns with 16 box stalls total; attached heated indoor arena; large outdoor ring; tack rooms, grooming areas; fenced pastures and hayfields with run-in sheds. Incredible 34' x 36' Studio building with wood burning stove where you can enjoy whatever activity might interest you...games, recreation, exercise, crafts, art, movies and more! Fabulous location just south of Hwy 12 on the paved portion of Nelson Road with easy access to Delano, Maple Plain or Wayzata. A rare opportunity to experience privacy, acreage and your favorite hobbies.
Finally an affordable equestrian property set up for 20+ horses! Some restoration could bring this fine property into the million plus category as evidenced by others on the road. 22 stalls, 150 x 60 indoor riding arena, classic 66 x 33 red two story barn with stalls and ample hay storage, 80 x 40 Quonset with high quality stalls, outdoor riding arena, round pens, several turnouts, and more. The gorgeous rolling pastures surround the property spanning several acres as a vast majority of the land is high and dry. The home is a charming 1920 stucco four square two story with front porch, back deck, beautiful wood work, updated kitchen with granite, newer hardwood floors on the main, 2 full baths, main floor laundry/mudroom, and 4 bedrooms. This is a solid home worth renovating! The location is ideal offering a short 25 minute commute to Minneapolis! Country living close in!! Pioneer golf course is right down the street!
