Residential: Minnesota: Fillmore County

Tucked into the wooded bluffs this chalet style home is located in the heart of Fillmore County just outside Lanesboro on secluded dead end road.  3 bed, 3 bath, open floor plan set up for main level living.  The home offers dual fuel with both a wood boiler and forced air furnace.  A vaulted cedar ceiling, floor to roof windows and a huge wrap around deck allow you to feel one with the natural surroundings   This place puts the best of driftless area right on your front step.  Deer, turkeys, grouse, wild mushrooms right in your yard and a shimmering trout stream just over the hill.  The rugged hills, unique rock outcroppings and shear limestone cliffs are yours to explore.  There are over a dozen trout streams within a 15 minute drive and the Root River along with the Root River State Bike Trail is just 2 miles to the north. The property provides easy top access to several different hardwood ridges and benches.  The 33 acres of woods are comprised largely of towering red oak trees along with the typical mix of hardwoods.  The acreage features a small hidden apple orchard that acts like a magnet for wildlife.  This property has a great history of holding lots of deer and producing some really spectacular bucks.  As soon as you enter the woods the deer sign is clearly evident with rubs and scrapes just about everywhere you look.  As an added bonus this place allows for back door access into a remote portion of a 1700 acre tract of State Forest land which is otherwise difficult to access due to the terrain.  The 34x24 insulated shop/garage is set up for in floor heat which allows space for projects & storage.  There is also 20x14 lean-to, 20x16 wood shed and garden shed to keep other goods out of the weather.  7 miles to Lanesboro and just under and hour from Rochester.
