    Property Description

    Dreaming of space, privacy, and room to truly live? Welcome to your own small slice of heaven in Columbus — 2.5 acres (423x259) of flat, fully usable land just 2.5 miles from the freeway and Downtown Forest Lake. No dirt roads. No wetlands. No wasted topography. Just gorgeous, high ground perfectly framed by mature trees that border every edge of the property and meet gracefully at the driveway — giving you the privacy of the country with all the convenience of the city just minutes away. This is the first real break from the metro where affordable acreage meets a truly livable setup. Fenced garden area already in place. Room for approximately 4-5 horses or livestock is possible. Maybe you are also wanting a pole building, outbuilding, or shop. Snowmobiles, ATVs, or a backyard homestead — this land can handle it all. And with nearly every species of wildlife coming through to visit, you'll feel like you're living in a nature documentary every single morning. Step Inside. From the moment you walk in, the open-concept main level sets the tone — a generous living room anchored by a stunning fieldstone gas fireplace that commands the room. Beautiful tile floors carry from front to back, built for the way country living actually works. The informal dining area flows seamlessly to a massive 24x12 deck, and the inviting kitchen delivers everything you'd want — center island seating 3, 42" cabinets with crown molding that kiss the ceiling, tile countertops, and a glass tile backsplash that ties it all together. The oversized formal dining room offers a second walkout to a 22x16 aggregate patio with playset — making this home an absolute entertainer's dream. The cook never misses a moment, whether it's a Tuesday dinner or a holiday gathering with the whole family spread between the deck and patio. A full bath and mudroom off the garage entrance keep the main level functional and organized. Down the hall, three bedrooms — two with walk-in closets — and a second full bath with dual sinks, tile floor, and tub surround round out the main level beautifully. The Lower Level Will Surprise You. Newly finished and thoughtfully designed features a spacious family room with luxury vinyl floors throughout, canned lighting, and extra-wide trim work. A bonus room in back is currently outfitted for hunting gear and gun storage — ideal for the outdoor enthusiast. The finished laundry room, a 4th bedroom with lookout window and pine-trimmed walk-in closet, and a sharp ¾ bath with granite countertop and tile shower surround complete a lower level that feels anything but basement. Major Updates : 2026 — carpet, kitchen lighting, full interior paint, PLUS BRAND NEW SEPTIC coming in May | 2021 — washer, dryer, dishwasher, lower level floors & lighting | 2018 — furnace | 2017 — roof | 2015 — AC | 2012 — updated bath | 2001 — siding and addition. This one truly has it all — land, privacy, updates, versatility, and a location that gives you the best of both worlds. Properties like this don't last, come today while you can.
