Embrace a lifestyle of privacy and self-sufficiency on this stunning 41.92-acre northern retreat. Comprising two conjoined parcels of mostly mature hardwoods with an open field, this property is perfect for a peaceful retirement home, a scalable starter homestead, or a premium hunting camp. Ideally located just 3 miles from Longville, the property sits close to fishing and boating on Long Lake, Woman Lake, and Leech Lake, with public boat launches just a short drive away. The well-built home offers comfortable one-level living with an open-concept main room and vaulted ceilings. Designed with a commitment to functional craftsmanship, the kitchen features concrete countertops, a handcrafted art tile backsplash, a walnut butcher block island that doubles as the dining table, and plenty of cabinetry tailored for cooking. Thoughtful passive solar engineering utilizes south facing windows for winter solar gain while deep overhangs keep the home cool in the summer. Climate control is simple and reliable, featuring in-floor electric heat paired with a wood stove backup. Just off the main living space, a screened-in porch provides the perfect vantage point to look into the woods and watch nature with your morning coffee. The land offers endless potential for those who want to live off the land, established large gardens, apple trees, and blueberry bushes, with the surrounding hardwoods providing a ready supply of firewood. The acreage provides exceptional privacy and premier on-site hunting for deer, bear, and turkey, with plenty of open ground left to farm or expand the homestead with your own vision. A 12' x 14' heated bunkhouse stands ready for guests, while a wood-heated 30' x 40' shop with 12' sidewalls and drive-through sliding doors on both ends makes it easy to park your toys and work on your projects. Together, these features round out a versatile property that perfectly fits your vision as a retirement retreat, hunting camp or starter homestead with plenty of room to expand.
