A Legacy Homestead Just East of NYA
Offered for the first time in over 50 years, this cherished family farmstead blends timeless craftsmanship with modern updates in a picturesque Carver County setting. Just east of downtown Norwood Young America with easy access to Hwy 5 and Hwy 212, the property is rich in character, space, and potential.
The home features 4 bedrooms plus a den and office, offering plenty of flexibility for today’s lifestyle. Upstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms and a den, while the lower level includes a fourth bedroom, office, and rec room—ideal for guests, hobbies, or working from home. The kitchen is a showstopper with custom cherry cabinetry, a one-of-a-kind butcher block island and matching table, perfect for entertaining or casual family meals.
Thoughtful millwork and custom built-ins enhance every corner of the home, and a cozy enclosed porch on the east side offers a tranquil morning retreat. Outside, you’ll find a massive 3-car attached garage, an additional metal pole garage, and a classic dairy barn with a converted loft workshop that’s perfect for woodworking, art, or storage.
The wooded acreage provides beauty and privacy, with serene views of Barnes Lake to the west. Whether you're dreaming of a hobby farm, a peaceful retreat, or a place to put down lasting roots—this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Carver County history.
