Property Description

A special country property that has been in the same family for many years is now ready for its next chapter. The sellers have recently completed the legal process of separating this 3.35-acre homesite from the surrounding farm, creating a wonderful opportunity for someone looking for a little more space, privacy and country living near Mankato. Built in 1987, this exceptionally well-cared-for ranch-style home is surrounded by mature trees, open lawn and neighboring farmland. The homesite sits alongside a beautiful tree-lined ravine, creating a peaceful natural backdrop. Please note: the ravine itself is not included in the parcel being sold. Open-concept living, dining and kitchen area designed to make everyday living easy while taking full advantage of the country views. Wonderful kitchen offers a functional layout with a center island, generous countertop space and abundant cabinetry extending from counter height to the ceiling, providing exceptional storage and a finished, custom feel. Positioned at the front of the home, the kitchen window overlooks the driveway and surrounding countryside—perfect for watching family and friends arrive. From the main living area, a large picture window at the back of the home frames views of the mature trees and tree-lined ravine. Another front-facing window brings in additional natural light and offers views across the yard and neighboring farmland. The main level features laundry and utility room complete with cabinetry, pantry storage, countertop, sink and stool, washer and dryer, stand-alone freezer, closet space and additional storage. Primary bedroom and second bedroom are also located on the main floor, along with a full bathroom and a generous linen closet. Lower level provides additional flexible living space. A large family room with standard windows facing east is currently used by the owners as additional guest sleeping space. There is also a 3/4 bathroom and a second kitchen area featuring cabinetry and a refrigerator; no range is currently installed. An additional open basement area offers even more possibilities for recreation, hobbies, extra sleeping space or whatever best fits the needs of the next owner. A built-in gas space heater provides an additional source of heat and is designed to operate if the electrical power goes out—a practical feature for country living. Continue through the lower level to an impressive storage room with extensive wall shelving, providing excellent space for seasonal items, household supplies, tools and everything that comes with an acreage lifestyle. Near the lower-level kitchen area, stairs lead directly into the oversized heated garage. The garage provides generous room for vehicles, equipment and projects and includes two separate exterior exit doors. The front of the home is a poured-concrete patio/porch, a favorite place to sit and enjoy the surroundings. Imagine mornings with a cup of coffee, evenings watching wildlife, observing the activity along the countryside and seeing the neighboring crops change throughout the growing season. Also on the property is a metal utility building previously used for storing farm machinery and equipment. The building offers room for tractors, plows, lawn equipment, campers, recreational vehicles and much more. Within the utility building is an enclosed shop with a concrete floor providing valuable space for woodworking, mechanical projects, hobbies, equipment maintenance or additional storage. Mature trees, wide-open spaces and countryside setting, this property offers the atmosphere so many buyers are searching for—room to breathe, space for hobbies and outdoor activities, and the opportunity to enjoy country living while remaining convenient to Mankato. Property is located within the St. Clair School District, adding another appealing feature for those looking for a country setting with access to the St. Clair community and schools. Exceptionally well cared for property.
