Property Description
Extraordinary 40-acre property offering privacy, breathtaking views, abundant wildlife, and a rare opportunity to own your own natural oasis—yet just minutes from area amenities in Hugo and Forest Lake. Located at the end of the road, this remarkable property offers the peace and tranquility of a rural retreat while remaining conveniently close to everything you need. It is a setting that truly feels like you are hours away from the Twin Cities. The home and pole building are beautifully positioned on high ground, creating incredible elevated views overlooking the pond, creek, woods, and surrounding natural landscape. The views are exceptional and truly need to be experienced in person to appreciate the beauty and serenity of this property. The land is a nature lover's dream. The property borders the Hardwood Creek Wildlife Management Area to the north, adding approximately 338 acres of protected land and providing an incredible sense of privacy. Pheasants, hawks, deer, and other wildlife are frequently seen throughout the property. Multiple deer stands are located on the land, and the sellers' family has enjoyed hunting here for years. The acreage has also provided opportunities for farming, with soybeans or corn grown in the lower field behind the home and pumpkins and vegetables grown in the field in front of the home. A recently installed heavy-duty bridge over the creek provides occasional access for the local watershed district to its creek easement and can also be used by the property owners to access additional areas of the land. A maintained snowmobile trail crosses a portion of the property, providing convenient access directly from the home and is maintained by the local snowmobile club. The spacious, well-maintained home has excellent curb appeal and is designed to take full advantage of its spectacular setting. The kitchen and dining area overlook the backyard, woods, and natural landscape, allowing you to enjoy the views throughout the day. The main level features a large primary bedroom with deck access, a spacious walk-in closet, and beautiful views. In total, the home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, & a 2 car attached garage. The walkout lower level features a large family room with fireplace, two spacious bedrooms, and an additional versatile room that could serve as a workshop, storage area, hobby room, or whatever best fits your needs. This space also features a garage door providing convenient access to the backyard. A spacious pole building provides abundant additional garage and storage space, with one section previously used as a horse stall. With its size and versatility, the building offers numerous possibilities for storage, hobbies, equipment, recreational vehicles, or other acreage needs. This is a truly special property for anyone seeking privacy, nature, hunting, recreation, expansive acreage, and breathtaking views, all within a convenient drive of the Twin Cities. The combination of 40 acres, protected land bordering the property, wildlife, water, woods, a spacious home, and a peaceful end-of-road setting makes this a rare opportunity to own something truly extraordinary.
