Off-Grid Privacy and Adventure on 35 Acres. Here is an opportunity to own 35 acres of truly private, off-grid property perfect for adventure, stargazing, campfires, and relaxing by the river in complete solitude. The property is set well back from the road and accessed by a quarter-mile driveway that leads to approximately one acre of cleared land and a partially completed 48' x 36' barndominium with a footprint of approximately 1,700 square feet. Construction began in 2022 and offers a solid foundation for the next owner to finish to their liking. The garage portion of the structure is ready for a concrete slab. The seller has already installed 2 inches of rigid foam insulation, rebar, and PEX tubing for in-floor radiant heat. The main garage door openings measure 14' x 12'. A new overhead door is included but has not yet been installed, along with several new windows. A "solar wall" on one side of the building provides excellent natural light and passive solar heating potential. An additional rear garage opening measures 8' x 7'. Custom scissor trusses create an impressive interior with approximately 18-foot ceilings at the center of the building. A loft occupies the rear 10 feet of the structure, with approximately 8 feet of clearance beneath it.

The bridge located on the property was constructed and is maintained by the local snowmobile club and is subject to a recorded easement.
