Experience the freedom of country living in this stunning custom log home set on 12.7 private, tree-lined acres. Tucked among mature trees with open pastures and wide skies, this property offers the kind of space and serenity that’s increasingly hard to find — whether you envision a fully equipped horse setup, hobby farm, recreational retreat, or simply room to breathe. Designed with equestrian living in mind, the land is thoughtfully arranged with fully fenced pastures, automatic waterers, eight stalls, and two dedicated tack rooms — truly move-in ready for horses. Two impressive pole buildings provide exceptional flexibility: an 80×50 Morton barn with 30-amp RV hookup and a 50×30 secondary building with water, electricity, lighting, and concrete floors. Store trailers, equipment, recreational vehicles, or create workshop space — the possibilities here are extensive. A third garage and an extra-deep attached two-car garage with a wood-burning stove add even more functional space for projects, storage, or year-round use. Inside, the home blends rustic character with comfortable living. The loft-style primary bedroom offers a bright, open retreat overlooking the home’s main living space. It currently embraces an airy, open-concept design, but also provides the opportunity to easily add a wall and door for enhanced privacy if desired — allowing you to tailor the space to your lifestyle. The primary bathroom features a walk-in shower, soaking tub, and peaceful views of the surrounding acreage. Hardwood floors span the main level, and the lower level offers flexible finished space ideal for a family room, fitness area, home office, or recreation space. Large windows throughout the home invite in natural light and frame scenic views in every season. Outdoors, enjoy evenings by the fire, morning coffee overlooking your pastures, and frequent wildlife sightings including deer and sandhill cranes. A designated dog area and well-maintained fencing make the property both practical and enjoyable. With approximately 15 minutes to Forest Lake and just 8 minutes to Chisago City or Lindstrom — plus easy access to Highway 35 and surrounding communities — you can enjoy peaceful country living without sacrificing convenience. This is more than a home — it’s a lifestyle property offering privacy, flexibility, and room to create the life you want.
