Description

Escape to your own private paradise along the scenic Big Cobb River. Nestled on nearly 40 acres, this extraordinary property offers the perfect blend of privacy, recreation, and breathtaking natural beauty. A dedicated build site is already prepared with a well, septic system, and power in place, allowing you to start building your dream home, cabin, or weekend retreat with ease. Adding to the property's incredible versatility is a finished, heated garage featuring in-floor heat, durable epoxy floors, and a convenient kitchenette complete with a refrigerator, dishwasher, and sink. Washer and dryer hookups provide added convenience, making it an ideal gathering space after a day on the river, a workshop, or a comfortable base while you build. A greenhouse set on a concrete slab offers the perfect opportunity to extend the growing season, grow your own produce, or cultivate beautiful flowers. Whether you envision a hobby farm, recreational retreat, or private country estate, the groundwork is already in place. Towering limestone cliffs, winding river frontage, and mature woods create a truly spectacular setting where nature takes center stage. Spend your days hiking the trails, kayaking the river, fishing, hunting, riding ATVs, or simply relaxing as deer, turkey, and bald eagles make regular appearances throughout the property. Despite its secluded feel, you're only 10 miles from Mankato Hilltop, giving you the rare opportunity to enjoy complete tranquility without sacrificing convenience. This is more than just acreage—it's an opportunity to create the lifestyle you've always imagined in one of the area's most breathtaking natural settings.
