About this home
Imagine having the space and peaceful setting of country living while still being conveniently located in Rochester. Set on 2.2 acres along the Zumbro River with approximately 500 feet of river frontage, this renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch-style home offers a rare combination of one-level living, recreation, privacy, usable land and a shop—all tucked away on a cul-de-sac and just outside Rochester city limits. Step inside to a home that has been refreshed and updated throughout, including new siding, professionally finished ceilings and a fresh coat of paint. All three bedrooms are conveniently located on one level, along with main-floor laundry, making this a highly desirable layout for comfortable everyday living. Outside, extensive work has already been done to make the property just as enjoyable as the home itself. The land has been professionally cleared to create a large, flat and usable yard, with more than an acre freshly hydroseeded. A new septic system features a buried mound designed to preserve the open, level appearance of the yard and the views beyond. Follow the property toward the Zumbro River and you'll find approximately 500 feet of river frontage to enjoy right at home. Picture mornings with coffee by the water, afternoons fishing or kayaking, and evenings spent outside enjoying the wildlife, changing seasons and peaceful river setting. Directly across the road, Essex Park adds even more outdoor recreation practically at your doorstep. Enjoy paved and natural trails for walking and biking, playgrounds, picnic areas, sand volleyball, horseshoes, an archery area, garden plots and even groomed cross-country ski trails during the winter months. The Essex trail loop also connects into Rochester's extensive trail system, giving you miles of recreation without having to load up the car. Need room for vehicles, equipment, hobbies or a serious workspace? The approximately 1,000-square-foot shop is ready for it. Complete with a hoist and oversized 10x12 and 13x14 garage doors, the shop offers the ability to drive straight through if desired and provides exceptional flexibility for storage, projects, recreational equipment, your toys or workspace. Perhaps one of the most unique aspects of this property is its location—conveniently positioned in Rochester while remaining outside Rochester city limits. Enjoy acreage, river frontage and a substantial shop while being close to all the conveniences of town.

How SODL buyer credits work

- 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.
