Wonderfully restored, improved and upgraded hobby farm on a truly unique setting - to be featured in an upcoming issue of Farm & Ranch Living magazine's "Prettiest Place in the Country". House built in 1901, granary in 1911 and main barn in 1914 - all beautiful, functional and unique. Situated very privately and quietly at the end of a 1/4 mile country road, 2 miles from the town of Glenwood City. The house has 4+ bedrooms and 4 baths plus a formal office/library (with custom solid cherry woodwork). In addition, you will find a formal dining room and piano/sitting room - all flooring is original birdseye maple, white oak or fir. The master suite includes a private deck, gas fireplace and a luxury bath with heated travertine marble flooring, walk-in marble shower, extra-deep soaker tub and a custom walk-in closet. The unique kitchen combines original 1920s birdseye maple flooring and floor to ceiling pine cabinetry, but with touches of modernity in the form of additional cabinetry, custom concrete countertops, lighting and over $18K worth of appliances including a 48" Dacor dual fuel range, 48" Monogram fridge/freezer, LG steam dishwasher, etc.  All windows have been replaced with the highest efficiency Hurd units. The house roof system was extensively upgraded less than 3 years ago with beautiful synthetic slate tiles (50+ year roofing), a high capacity ventilation system and maintenance free aluminum soffits. Extensive perennial and English gardens compliment the outdoors, including several hundred feet of privet hedges, raised bed gardens, a wood-fired pizza oven and more. The regal main barn has (4) large horse stalls, outdoor waterer, updated power and water service. The granary was restored 8 years ago with new cedar siding and steel roof - it has 3 stories of dry storage space, or easily transformed into a one of a kind guest house or B&B facility. The milk house was completely gutted and restored several years ago as a nice dry tack room - completely rewired and insulated. The acreage consists of approximately 15 acres of tillable land (more than enough grass/hay crop for our 3 horses and sheep flock through the winter), another 15 acres of wooded valley, 8+ acres of hilly pastures and around 2 acres of lawn & gardens. There are several hundred feet of excellent 4-board white horse fences as well. Located 1 hour from MSP airport. Updated electrical, septic and well in the past few years.
