Set on 40 private wooded acres just west of McGrath, this beautiful chalet-style home offers the perfect blend of comfort, recreation, and Northwoods charm. Built in 2019, the slab-on-grade home features 1,378 finished square feet with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a spacious loft that adds flexibility for additional sleeping or living space. In-floor heat keeps the home comfortable year-round, while mini-splits provide efficient air conditioning during warmer months. Fiber optic internet is already in place, making remote work or streaming easy and reliable. --Pride of ownership is evident throughout the property, from the well-maintained home to the thoughtfully developed outdoor spaces. The excellent yard and building footprint overlook a scenic pond, creating a peaceful setting with beautiful views in every season. A 32x32 insulated garage/shop with a wood burner offers plenty of room for vehicles, equipment, or hobby space. --The land itself is a standout feature. The 40 wooded acres consist mostly of high ground with mature oak and pine timber. There are established trail networks, a food plot, and permanent deer stands already in place. The property directly borders more than 1,700 acres of Minnesota State Forest, providing virtually endless opportunities for hunting, hiking, and exploring right out your back door. --Located about 5 miles from Mille Lacs Lake and well under two hours from the Twin Cities metro, this property offers an ideal mix of privacy and accessibility. Whether you're looking for a year-round home, hunting retreat, or recreational getaway, this one checks all the boxes.
