311 13th Ln SW, Oronoco, MN 55960

This home offers a lifestyle you just can’t get elsewhere! We are situated at the end of a cul-de-sac on three heavily wooded acres with wonderful access to the South Branch Middle Fork Zumbro River. This neighborhood is a favorite for those who love nature and outdoor adventures. People enjoy running, jogging, dog walking and bike riding. The river access is great for watching eagles and fishing. You can even kayak and canoe all the way to Lake Zumbro now. The little beach at the bottom of the bluff is perfect for morning yoga or just soaking up the sun. You can wade across the stream to your own slice of the island and pitch a tent for backyard camping. The home itself offers up a great lifestyle as well. This home is perfect for quite evenings alone or joyous gatherings of friends and family. Views of the changing seasons greet you from almost every window. A cozy fireplace warms the living area and the extra-large kitchen is extra inviting. The main floor also has a room to be used as an office, exercise room or music area. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs and a huge lower level guest bedroom. This family uses the lower level family room as their theater room but of course you can use it as fits your lifestyle. The walkout lower level gives great access to the large backyard which is where you'll find the path down the bluff to the water's edge. A great bonus to the house is the workshop area in the utility room which has it’s own access from the outside. This is perfect space for canoe and kayak storage, working on small engines, wood working or just storage. Many things have been updated in this home in the past few years. The granite kitchen countertops are gorgeous! All four bathrooms were recently updated, most with stunning new tile work, vanity tops, new sinks and more. Much of the interior has fresh paint as well and check out the new exterior paint color and refreshed deck. The 3-acre lot is beautifully landscaped near the home. The front porch is a great place to relax and listen to the water trickling into the landscaping pond. The back deck extends your living area as it is large enough for a full set of furniture. Summer evenings can be spent lazing in hammocks or roasting marshmallows around the campfire. One unique feature of this home is access to the South Branch Middle Fork Zumbro River. Many of the homes along this area have too steep of a climb down to the water's edge, giving them no water access even though they are adjacent to the stream. This home has a steep climb down to the beach as well, but it’s traversable! At the bottom of the bluff is a sandy bank, perfect to launch your kayak and canoes or for fishing. This lot goes across the river onto a small island, a great place to explore or camp. The stream is usually shallow enough you can just wade your camping equipment across to the island. Spring, Summer, Autumn and winter are all beautiful in a setting such as this. We are just minutes away from Highway 52 making the trip to downtown Rochester faster than some places actually in Rochester! This home is in the Rochester school district, but you may have the option of Pine Island or Byron schools as well. If you’ve been looking for that special home that allows you to be near town but surrounded by nature and adventure, then look no further. This is absolutely it! Call me for a private showing today.
