Discover this truly unique 15-acre private retreat, located just one mile from I-35 yet completely secluded with no neighbors in sight. This barndominium-style property offers a thoughtfully designed living space paired with exceptional outbuildings and recreation opportunities right out your back door. The newly built residence features 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, a bright, open main living area, quartz countertops, vinyl plank flooring, and stainless steel appliances. Heating and cooling are provided by a Fujitsu mini-split and a propane Bosch combi boiler with in-floor heat. The home is served by a compliant septic system and a private well. Next to the living space is an impressive 4,000-square-foot building, fully insulated with spray foam from the floor to the roof peak, including the garage doors. The floor is an 8-inch-thick concrete slab, and is heated with a propane combi boiler. The shop features steel siding and roofing, a center drain, and excellent year-round usability with potential for more living space. It offers one 14’ and two 10’ garage doors, each with its own automatic opener and remote, plus one remote for all three doors—perfect for equipment, toys, hobbies, motorhomes, or a small business. The barn includes a stand-alone 8’ x 8’ cedar sauna for year-round enjoyment, healing, and stretching. Discover the perfect outdoor retreat with your own private pond —a paradise for swimming, fishing, and unwinding on sunny summer days. In winter, it transforms into a magical spot for ice skating and ice fishing, offering year-round enjoyment and unforgettable moments. There is daily wildlife activity! Nature lovers will enjoy visits from animals around the property; it is very common to see deer from the house, as well as many species of birds. Also, the land is an excellent hunting ground, complete with 6 deer stands and 3 trail cameras, and proven deer activity throughout the acreage. Also, turkeys roam the property, and ducks and geese frequently land in the pond. Last season, geese were nesting in the pond’s peninsula. There are 2 additional structures, including a 16’ x 12’ partially finished outbuilding with two shower stalls and a bathroom, 2 outdoor sinks, septic, and electric. This building can be turned into a guest house or Airbnb, or connected to the barn with a boiler zone for heating the space. If the barn is used as an office or business, it can serve employees or workers. The other structure is an 18.5’ x 34’ powered pavilion. Offering a fantastic opportunity to convert it into a second dwelling. It’s already hooked up to 200-amp power, with RV hookups readily available. The owner had plans for a 3-bedroom cabin. The structure stage can remain a stage, with potential for weddings, family reunions, corporate functions, and other private or public events. Flexible purchase options: Buyers may purchase the 15-acre package at the listed price and/or the adjacent 40 acres is available for purchase. If buyer purchases 15 acres without the 40, an easement would be required and recorded for access. A truly one-of-a-kind property offering privacy, recreation, space, and modern living all in one. The additional 40 acres is a maze of trails carefully crafted over the last two years. You can walk for miles with the company of native trees and the sound of the wilderness. The current owners used to walk the trails every sunset for their health and vitality. Come visit the property and fall in love with it!
