This piece of real estate is unmatched, you will not find anything like it in this area. The new owner will have several options of leaving the property as is or it could be developed with one or more additional homes. The property is located 6 miles south of Bloomington right off of old Rt. 51. with a 3 bedroom ranch along with smaller rental home on 13 acres. Main house (25’x 54’) was built about 1960 (solid home) and has many updates including brand new central air-conditioning & natural gas furnace. Home has an unfinished basement and one car garage along with one bath. New siding and Anderson high performance (including two nice bays) windows were installed 10 years ago. The roof shingles (20 year guarantee) were removed and replaced about 7 years ago, they are in very good condition. There is a power attic vent fan with an easy access wall switch. Also a new solar electric and solar hot water system was just installed. Living room has an attractive refinished wood stove for supplemental heat. Most major appliances stay and they are in very good shape. The water purification is of high quality (Ecosmarte) and there is a reverse osmosis tap at the kitchen sink. The back of the house has a 12’x12’ treated wood deck along with a 20’x 54’ chain link dog pen. There are two wells on the property; one can be used for filling the lake if needed. There are also two driveway entrances, one is asphalt (just resealed) and the other has a very good solid grave base. Included with the house is a back-up gasoline generator for electricity. Main home uses natural gas.

Smaller home (24’x 36’) on the property was built in 1987 and has four rooms along with a carport and small garage. It does include a refrigerator, washer/dryer, AC and stove and a reverse osmosis filter at the kitchen sink. Home has new carpet and paint. This makes a great rental house which should bring $600-$700 a month income. It was built for 1-2 people.

The 35x48’ machine shed was built in 1985 and has an all concrete floor. It has a heavy duty wood stove for heat, a work bench, along with 220 volt hookup for welders. It also has 2 commercial swinging glass doors with a great view of the lake.

There are also several other storage buildings included with this property.

1 – 12’x 30’ stand alone garage. Dry walled and insulated w/propane wall heater.
1 – 10’x 12’
2 – 10’x 10’ (one has concrete floor and both have electric service)
1 – 8’ x 45’ steel container
1 – 8’ x 40’ steel container, newly painted.

The 1 acre pond was built in 1981 (dug to 15’) and has been heavily stocked since. There is a variety of fish including largemouth bass, channel catfish, bluegill & hybrid stripped bass. There are several fish in this pond that will top 10 + pounds. Also included are 50 feet of floating docks and an electric bug light for feeding fish. The pond is secluded and has a park like setting.

There are 2 - 30’x 60’ organic gardens here with rich soils that grow top quality produce.
We also have a small area set aside for composting. You will also find 2 apple and 2 peach trees here along with a strawberry and blackberry patch. There is a nice wooded 1000' walking trail that can also be used for riding a snowmobile or ATV. This trail is also excellent for hunting deer as they use it often. The back of the property does have a nice out of the way/out of sight area for storing miscellaneous things.
