A beautiful Hermantown residential setting situated in a partially cleared & SURVEYED almost one acre site (. 90/acre) & features beautiful topography, southern vistas of slight lower valley & good elevation making for an ideal building site. Owner recently had a septic designer & builder visit site & take soil samples & determined a location & suitability for building a septic system (received bid for $17,000 if a 3 bedroom home size were built w/ 2,300' finished sq. ft. of living space & also a very reasonable driveway estimate-$3,300 approximately).
As the MLS and public records start to fill up, we'll list the details here.
