26886 147th Street NW A truly special setting that is increasingly difficult to find! Situated on approximately 2.5 wooded acres, this one-owner home borders the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge, offering incredible privacy and personal access to 30, 000+ acres of protected natural beauty right from your own backyard. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings, abundant wildlife and changing seasons from a property that has been lovingly owned by the same family since it was built in 1974. The rambler-style home offers three bedrooms on the main level and spacious living areas. Need a craft room, play room, den or home office? The lower level has brand new carpet and paint for an additional level of living space. Some ceiling work and trim remains to be finished. And then there is the pole barn! At an impressive 28' x 48', there is plenty of room for cars, recreational toys, equipment, hobbies and storage. The 12' overhead door provides easy access for larger vehicles and equipment. Previously used for woodworking, the pole barn also features a separate insulated back room-perfect for a workshop or hobby space. Many of the important big-ticket improvements have already been taken care of, including a new furnace in 2025, water heater and Kinetico water system in 2025, roof in 2023 and septic system in 2023. Some photos are virtually staged for ideas. Bring your own ideas and create the home you've been envisioning while enjoying a location and setting that simply cannot be recreated.
