About this home
A unique opportunity to own a 14-acre country property nestled within the rolling, wooded landscape between Big Birch Lake and Little Birch Lake, approximately 7 miles north of Melrose. Built in 1997 and offered by the original owners, this spacious walkout home features over 5,000 total square feet, including approximately 3,700 finished square feet. The property is accessed from a paved road with an asphalt driveway that has been regularly seal coated. The main level includes a galley-style kitchen, living and dining area, four-season porch, primary bedroom with private full bath and walk-in closet, second bedroom, 3/4 bath, and laundry. Sliding patio doors lead to an elevated 26x8 composite deck overlooking the rolling, wooded acreage, with a concrete patio below. The walkout lower level features a large family room with Murphy bed, third bedroom, 3/4 bath, office area, additional finished space for a potential fourth bedroom, and three-zone in-floor heating. The home also offers forced-air and wood stove heating options. An approximate 640-square-foot insulated bonus room above the main house provides possibilities for additional finished space, with water and septic connections believed to be stubbed into the floor. Additional unfinished storage space is located above the attached 24x24 insulated two-stall garage. The property also features a LeafGuard gutter system.
Outside, the 48x32 shop is partially insulated and wood stove heated, with a propane line stubbed outside for a possible future heater. Two 10-foot-wide overhead doors, one 8 feet tall and the other 12 feet tall, provide access for equipment and vehicles. An additional 60x30 pole shed offers substantial storage for tractors, trailers, and recreational equipment.
Beyond the home and buildings, the rolling, wooded acreage provides habitat for whitetail deer, wild turkeys, and other wildlife, with opportunities to hunt directly on the property. The backyard features existing apple trees and an open area with room for a potential wildlife food plot. An established 100-yard shooting range provides an area for sighting in firearms, subject to applicable regulations and safe shooting conditions.
Directly across the road is the approximately 630-acre Birch Lakes State Forest, offering additional public hunting and recreational opportunities, including approximately five miles of trails and access to Big Birch Lake. Public accesses to both Big Birch Lake and Little Birch Lake are just minutes away for fishing, boating, and other water activities. The property is also approximately 40 to 45 miles from Alexandria and St. Cloud, providing access to shopping, dining, healthcare, employment, and other services.
While the home, acreage, and outbuildings offer substantial utility, the surrounding landscape and proximity to public forestland and recreational lakes further distinguish this property. This is an opportunity to own not only a country home and 14 acres, but also to enjoy the recreational opportunities and natural surroundings of the Birch Lake area....
