About this home
PRIVATE 40-ACRE NORTHWOODS ESTATE SURROUNDED BY STATE LAND
An extraordinary private estate set on 40 wooded acres in the heart of Minnesota’s Northwoods, surrounded by approximately 470 acres of state land. Located just 30 minutes from Brainerd, this rare property offers the privacy, recreation, and natural beauty sought by today’s luxury acreage buyer.
Completely rebuilt in 2009 by Nor-Son Custom Builders, the main residence blends timeless Northwoods character with refined craftsmanship and warm, inviting design. The home features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a hot tub, infrared sauna, gas fireplace, and wood-burning fireplace, creating a comfortable year-round retreat designed for relaxation, gathering, and escape.
A separate guest house adds exceptional flexibility with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, laundry, a 2-car garage, and private workspace—ideal for hosting guests, extended family, caretaker quarters, or a refined retreat away from the main residence.
Designed for those who value privacy, recreation, and space, the property includes extensive garage and storage capacity, raised gardens, fruit trees, greenhouse, outbuildings, a temperature-controlled root cellar/storm shelter, and 40 acres of prime hunting land. Whether envisioned as a private luxury retreat, family compound, hobby farm, collector’s property, or Northwoods getaway, this estate offers a lifestyle that is increasingly rare and difficult to duplicate.
A truly distinctive property where craftsmanship, seclusion, and the beauty of the Northwoods come together....
