Welcome to your home—your sanctuary on the Rum River. A haven for hunters, anglers, kayakers, snowmobilers, riders, and nature lovers alike. This 3-bed, 3-bath home sits on 14.54 acres with rare, unobstructed views of the river. Thanks to current Minnesota DNR regulations, tree removal along the river is now highly restricted—making views like this increasingly uncommon and incredibly valuable. Protected land across the river and to the north ensures this area will remain untouched for generations to come. Located on a quiet dead-end road just 1/3 mile from Hwy 169, the property blends privacy with convenience; easy commuting access with the solitude of a peaceful retreat.
Spanning multiple parcels, the 14.54 acres include a 2.18-acre wooded parcel (unbuildable) that adds privacy, 7.82 acres where the home sits with room for hay or a horse pasture, and a 4.54-acre landlocked parcel to the north. The land features mature maple trees ready for syrup tapping—a sweet bonus to country living. This property offers a rare mix of space, seclusion, and opportunity.
Three versatile outbuildings include a 24' x 46' structure with tin siding and roof, water and electricity, and a gravel floor—perfect for equipment, a workshop, or storage. Two additional woodsheds (12' x 8' and 8' x 6') provide space for tools, gardening, or seasonal items.
Lovingly maintained, this quad-level home reflects pride of ownership throughout. The exterior features low-maintenance, durable cedar composite siding—a modern upgrade from traditional cedar. Added in 2016, a custom concrete driveway features a crisscross pattern with a darker stained border. The private well is drilled to 350 feet. A gravel septic system (not a mound) includes two 1,000-gallon tanks and an expansive drain field for long-term efficiency. The rear cement patio is foam-insulated—a definite upgrade to reduce cracking and improve durability.
Inside, the kitchen features custom solid oak cabinetry, granite countertops, and a water filtration system that delivers cleaner-than-tap water. Recent updates include new carpet in the main living area and upper level. A tankless water heater, installed in 2024, ensures continuous hot water and eliminates hard water concerns -- no rust. A high-efficiency Fujitsu split A/C system with two compressors provides customized climate control.
All windows have been replaced and (warranty transferable), except for the Pella doors. Solid oak six-panel interior doors and custom oak vanities in every bathroom add timeless craftsmanship.
The primary bedroom includes a private ¾ ensuite bath and a pre-installed ledger board, ready for a future patio. A gas fireplace in the lower level features a real stone surround and hearth, creating a perfect gathering spot. The wet bar is already plumbed and ready for water access—ideal for entertaining. A versatile flex space makes a great office, reading nook, or occassional guest quarters. A second lower-level space with concrete flooring provides excellent storage or could be used as a hobby room, canning area, or gear room for outdoor enthusiasts.
The insulated two-car garage features insulated doors and three access points—to the back deck, main level, and basement—for maximum convenience.
All of this just 20 minutes from one of Minnesota’s most popular fishing destinations—Mille Lacs Lake. With thoughtful upgrades and exceptional maintenance, this property is ready for you to move in, relax, and enjoy for years to come.
