About this home
Set on 4.38 beautiful acres, this inviting 1.5-story farmstead offers a fantastic opportunity to own a piece of country character just minutes from everyday conveniences and in the desirable Monticello School District! This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home blends timeless charm with thoughtful improvements, including a new roof (2024), new gas water heater (2024), new Samsung refrigerator (2024), Speed Queen® washer (2022), reverse osmosis drinking water system (2022), new hardwood flooring in the living room (2021), LVP flooring in main level bedroom (2021), new bathroom vanity (2026), new carpet and updated light fixtures in the upper den (2023), custom kitchen island (2022), updated furnace and A/C, and new front and entry doors (2022). A majority of the interior was just painted in 2026, offering a bright, refreshed feel. The functional layout features a spacious rear main entry/mudroom, an updated kitchen with added custom island, separate dining area, and comfortable main-level living room with a bedroom and full bath on the main floor. Upstairs you’ll find an additional bedroom plus a flexible den space. The full, unfinished basement – accessed from the back entry – provides ample storage, laundry, mechanicals, and potential for future expansion, including a potential second bathroom. The acreage offers space, privacy, and endless possibilities! The six outbuildings include a two-car detached garage, chicken coop with storage, insulated single-stall shop/garage, machine shed, additional shed, and a large barn with electrical and new lighting. The expansive barn is a standout feature – versatile enough to even have hosted a private wedding celebration – offering endless opportunities for hobby farming, entertaining, creative ventures, storage, and so much more! Apple trees, wild black raspberries, garden space, maple syrup tapping potential, and frequent wildlife sightings enhance this peaceful setting, while a new privacy fence (2023) adds functionality and comfort. Enjoy the serenity of country living with quick access to schools, clinics, hospitals, parks, shopping, entertainment, and I-94! Accessible to the Twin Cities metro area with an approximate 45-minute drive. With 1,403 finished square feet, central air, forced air heat, and unmatched acreage near town, this distinctive property offers space, flexibility, and potential that is increasingly hard to find.

How SODL buyer credits work
When you buy with SODL, the brokerage charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. The remaining buyer-side commission (typically 3% of the purchase price) is credited directly back to you at closing, reducing the cash you bring to the table.
- Tour homes with SODL’s flexible showing network
- Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
- Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing
A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
