This quiet country home is an outdoor enthusiast's oasis, made for people who want to do it all: hike, bike, ride, ski, fish, hunt, build, and gather the whole family. Biking routes, snowmobile trails, fishing lakes, state parks, and ski hills are all close by. The Premium High-Bay Workshop with dedicated RV Storage is the kind of space collectors and enthusiasts usually pay a premium to rent or buy into. Here, it's yours alone, on your own land. The 56' x 39' building is spray foam insulated, with radiant heat, a concrete floor, 14-ft walls, a mezzanine, and LED lighting. The 200-amp service powers your RV, welder, and compressor. Store the RV, the sleds, and the car collection. Work on all of it year-round, protected and powered up. The craftsman-style home matches the quality of the shop. Warm hardwoods and open main-level living greet you, along with a refined kitchen with granite countertops. A stone double-sided fireplace is the focal point as soon as you enter. The bright, wood-paneled sunroom with wall-to-wall windows will be your favorite spot to kick back. This is the home where your friends and family will want to gather. The finished lower level has a custom wet bar and a spacious family room that walks out to a paved patio, ideal for summer dinners and fall bonfires. The bonus room above the garage flexes as an art studio, private gym, or playroom. The whole home is exceptionally insulated, including the attic, walls, and main floor, for quiet lower-level living. There are 40 years left on the transferable 50-year roof warranty, and a Level 2 EV charger runs on a separate low-cost meter. The flat parcel could host additional buildings, pending city/county approval. This home also offers a rare tri-county school district open enroll option for Forest Lake, Chisago and Osceola with bus routes included. Scandia offers tennis and pickleball, skating, an uncrowded sledding hill, and a bike-trail link to the Gateway system underway. True Minnesota country living with the quality, recreation, and systems you'll want to enjoy for years to come.
