Follow the tree-lined gravel road to a picturesque, storybook entrance where nature welcomes you home. Nestled in privacy, this handcrafted residence offers a rare opportunity to finish a dream project in an idyllic setting. Much of the work has been lovingly started by a skilled craftsman, with many of the materials needed for completion already on-site. Inside, you’ll find hand-crafted tongue-and-groove wood flooring and a stunning dual stone fireplace, accented by a limestone mantle. The hearth features stones sourced from the mighty Mississippi River, adding history and local character to the home. Every detail reflects the builder’s dedication and personal craftsmanship. Knapp's Woodpile is nearby and offers the equipment needed to continue the home’s construction. With an estimated $100,000 in remaining work—ideal for a capable carpenter or someone ready to bring in a trusted contractor—you have the unique chance to make this home your own from the ground up. The property also features a peaceful pond and mature woods that will provide year-round beauty and serenity. If you have discerning taste, a creative vision, and a love for natural surroundings, this is the place you've been searching for. Sold as is. No occupancy permit provided by seller.
