Created with

Located just 2 miles west of Lac qui Parle Lake, right on MN State Hwy 40, this 11.29 Acre hobby farm with a newly built 3 bedroom/2 bath shouse with attached 2 car garage and tractor shed, is what dreams are made of! Formerly a machine shed, this beautiful building was renovated in 2022 into a new 2700 sq. ft modern rustic style SHOUSE that offers something for everyone. From exterior to interior, sellers have built this home with amenities that will allow homeowners to enjoy it for decades to come. With a steel roof and siding, sellers reinforced the rafters on the shouse, garage, tractor shed, woodworkers room and storage area. When the cement slab was poured sellers had the concrete poured at 7" thick instead of the standard 5"and poured additional cement deeper at the corners. The outside walls are 2x6 with R20 insulation. The ceiling joists are 16 inch fabricated I beams in the front room and 2x16 in the rest of the shouse. All interior doors and trim are solid wood and double pane windows throughout the home. The shouse offers a beautiful open kitchen with granite countertops, tiled backsplash and stainless-steel appliances. The living room offers a new $8,000 Vermont Castings wood stove with an in-laid propane gas line should you decide to no longer want to burn real wood. Seller has cut enough wood to last at least 15-20 years. The front kitchen and living room offer a vaulted ceiling with the rest of the home being 8 foot ceilings. It also has lovely sliding glass doors for you to enjoy the sunrise & sunset on the front-covered deck. The shouse was built to code on all state inspected electrical work. It also has a water filtration system, in-floor heat system, water heater, and a large pressure tank for the new well that was installed in October, 2021. New Septic was also installed in August, 2022. Both are compliant. To preserve the current grove and plan for the future, sellers have planted over $15,000 worth of new trees around the property; including fruit trees, evergreen trees and hard woods. The tillable acres are currently being rented by a neighboring farmer who cuts the alfalfa (2 years left on the contract). Also included in the property are a number of small grain bins that could easily be removed or converted into new hobby bldgs; a garden shed with multiple hydrants for watering the trees and the gardens; a large lean-to for storage, and an old silo that stands the test of time. So if you are desiring a turnkey move-in ready home and hobby farm, here it is! Located in the heart of our MN western prairie and just minutes from Appleton, Milan, Madison, or Dawson (to name a few), here is country living at its best - private and peaceful! 24 HOUR NOTICE AND PRE-APPROVED BUYERS ONLY.
