Description

A hobby farm that doesn’t make you give up the house — five fenced acres, a horse-ready barn, a 1,540 sq ft heated building, and a brand-new septic system. Most hobby farms ask you to compromise somewhere. This one doesn’t. Five private, fully fenced acres in the Stillwater school district, six minutes from Highways 36 and 94, with shopping and dining close enough that nobody has to plan a trip to town. A house built for a family. This 3,350-square-foot traditional family home has 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, and space to spread out. A tiled foyer with 18-foot ceilings opens to the main level. The kitchen has new luxury plank flooring, black appliances from 2025, an electric range, deep cabinetry, generous counter space, and both informal and formal dining areas. The knotty pine four-season porch, warmed by a gas stove, looks out over the backyard and opens directly onto the wraparound deck — the natural place to land at the end of a long day outside. Also on the main level: a bright living room, a private office, laundry, a half bath, and an attached two-car garage with backyard access. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including the primary suite with a walk-in closet and private bath with a jetted tub and walk-in shower. The lower level was renovated in 2018 and adds a large family room, fourth bedroom, and additional storage. Cared for over the years. Built in 1987, the home has been updated steadily — a new roof and seamless gutters in 2022, new kitchen flooring and appliances in 2025, fresh interior paint, updated light fixtures, and additional improvements throughout. A brand-new septic system has also been installed, with the compliance certificate available in the supplements. The building everyone comes to see. At 1,540 square feet, heated and air-conditioned, it is a serious piece of property — not a pole shed with a space heater. In-floor heat and split air conditioning keep it comfortable in February and August alike. Ten-foot ceilings, a half bath, a knotty pine gathering area, an upper-level flex space with balcony access, and outdoor storage mean you can work, host, or hide out here year-round. Ready for horses today. The attached 30 x 40 horse barn includes two stalls with rubber mat flooring, a frost-free water hydrant, and a hay loft off the main building — the small things that make winter chores survivable. Bring the horses now, or keep the space open for a workshop, home business, studio, or fitness room and add livestock later. Very little here has to be decided in advance. Horses, hobbies, a home business, or simply room to breathe — this property was set up to handle all of it.
