About this home
EXPERIENCE THE CHARM OF YESTERYEAR IN THE HEART OF MINNESOTA LAKE COUNTRY!
Nestled on 7.8 scenic acres overlooking Lake Portage, this extraordinary 1896 farmhouse offers a rare combination of historic craftsmanship, remarkable living space, and thoughtful modern improvements. With nearly 5,000 finished square feet, 6 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms, the property provides an inviting setting for a year-round residence, family gatherings, or a peaceful country retreat. Cherished by the same family for five generations, this truly special home has preserved the architectural character and timeless details that make historic homes so desirable.
From the moment you step inside, you'll appreciate the warmth and authenticity of the original hardwood floors, substantial 9-inch oak baseboards, crown molding, solid oak four-panel doors, and beautiful pocket doors. The spacious main level features a 23 x 16 living room with fireplace, formal dining room, kitchen, den, bedroom, and full bath. Two enclosed three-season porches offer wonderful spaces to relax and enjoy the surrounding countryside.
Upstairs, four additional bedrooms, a comfortable sitting room, den, and full bath provide plenty of room for family and guests. An impressive 40 x 15 walk-up attic adds exceptional flexibility for storage or potential future uses. The lower level offers a spacious 28 x 19 family/game room featuring a century-old pool table, sauna, ¾ bath, and large laundry room.
While the home's historic charm has been beautifully preserved, significant improvements provide many of today's conveniences. Features include steel siding, replacement windows, updated insulation, a 40-year architectural roof, 220-amp electrical service, geothermal heating and cooling, backup generator, and electric vehicle charging station. A newer concrete driveway leads to the insulated attached two-car garage, complemented by a detached garage, storage shed, and charming smokehouse.
Located approximately three hours from the Twin Cities, this distinctive property offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of Minnesota lake country. With its picturesque acreage, views of Lake Portage, generous living spaces, and remarkable architectural details, this is a home that simply cannot be replicated by today's construction.
A home rich in history, thoughtfully maintained for generations, and ready to create memories for generations to come!...
