I would like to welcome you to what I consider to be a truly one-of-a-kind property that very rarely ever hits the open market. Located 6+/- miles from Detroit Lakes sits this well-built, three-bedroom, two-bath home with an attached heated garage and 30x45 shop on 100+/- acres of one of the most spectacular properties Minnesota has to offer! The home sits atop a hill that overlooks a small lake with unrivaled views. The views are literally impossible to describe or capture with pictures and you will need to see the views in person to truly appreciate them. The home is a very well-built and well-maintained split-level home with a gas fireplace, walk-out deck, family room, bonus room, and much more. The land is made up of hardwood ridges, mature oak, regrowth aspen, ponds, a small lake, meadows, trails, and food plots. The property is very secluded and offers the ultimate privacy with literally no neighbors. See Supplemental Doc.
