23548 W River Rd, Grantsburg, WI 54840

Beautiful and peaceful country retreat, a short drive to the Twin Cities and very near the lovely St Croix River and Governor Knowles State Park! This 4 bd/3ba ranch is beautifully done inside with newer flooring and fresh paint. The open floor plan makes the most of expansive views of the gorgeous 9 acre parcel. Outside there are mature fruit trees including apple, crabapple and plum, along with wild blueberries and raspberries. The fenced raised-bed garden area also has a healthy clump of asparagus, and has water available piped over from the sand point well inside the outbuilding. Next to the garden area is a chicken coop, currently used for garden tools but easily re-converted into an active coop if that's your heart's desire. About half the acreage is wooded with mature pines and hardwoods, and the view is just spectacular. Then there's the HUGE outbuilding! At 30 x 83 ft long, it's quite a work space, ready to go with water (includes a 1/4 bath), electricity, and it's own gas heater. Behind the outbuilding is the footing for what had been a quonset hut...the seller thought it a spectacular place to install a ground-mounted solar system. The single car garage is attached to the house via a breezeway, through which you can also access a fenced back yard area. The lower level of this ranch style home has a large family room space, 2 bd/1 ba and a very large equipment room that includes a cold pantry area. And then, let's not miss the enclosed 4-season front porch. Currently there's a hot tub in there, which may included with the right offer. So much here to see and enjoy - space, quiet, solitude, and the potential to create your own hobby farm! Adjacent 5-acre parcel also for sale under separate listing. Hurry for your chance to create your own northern escape!
