31209 Highway 58 Blvd, Red Wing, MN 55066

Description

Located just north of Hay Creek and a short drive from Red Wing, Minnesota, this 14+/- acre property offers a combination of country living, wooded acreage, scenic valley views, and excellent recreational opportunities. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch-style home sits above paved Highway 58, overlooking the valley below, while the rolling, heavily wooded terrain stretches north behind the home and climbs toward the top of the ridge. Whether you are looking for a country residence, a recreational getaway, or a potential rental investment, this Goodhue County property offers several possibilities.
The home is positioned on an elevated setting that takes advantage of the surrounding landscape. Imagine starting your morning with a cup of coffee while looking out over the valley, watching the seasons change across the hillsides. The setting offers the kind of scenery that makes southeastern Minnesota's Driftless Region such an attractive place to own property.
Inside, the ranch-style home features three bedrooms on the main level, a full bathroom, and the convenience of main-floor laundry. The lower level includes an additional three-quarter bathroom. The single-level layout provides practical everyday living, whether the property serves as a primary residence or a weekend retreat. An important recent improvement is the septic system, which was updated in 2024.
An older barn with a newer roof adds character and utility to the property. The barn is a reminder of the property's rural history and provides an additional structure for a buyer to evaluate for storage or other uses.
Beyond the home is where this property becomes particularly interesting for someone who enjoys spending time outdoors. Nearly the entire 14+/- acres is wooded, with rolling terrain that climbs north from the homesite toward the top of the ridge. An existing trail system winds through the woods behind the house and leads to the upper elevations of the property. Although the trails have become overgrown and will require clearing, the established routes provide a starting point for developing access throughout the acreage.
Once reopened and maintained, these trails could provide opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, ATV and UTV riding, and access to hunting locations. The elevation changes, wooded cover, and natural terrain also make simply exploring the property an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon.
For deer hunters, this property deserves a serious look. The acreage is located in an area known for quality whitetail hunting, and the woods show considerable deer activity. One of the appealing aspects of owning a hunting ground with a home already on the property is convenience. Rather than driving to a separate hunting farm, you can walk out the back door and head into the woods. Whether you have an hour to hunt after work or want to spend a November morning in a stand, having recreational acreage directly behind your residence makes it easier to enjoy the outdoors throughout the year.
The property's location is another significant advantage. Situated just north of Hay Creek, the acreage is close to an area with a strong outdoor recreation tradition. Hay Creek offers access to local recreational opportunities, including camping, trails, and nearby outdoor activities. The surrounding countryside is known for its wooded hillsides, winding roads, and scenic valleys.
Red Wing is a short drive away, providing access to restaurants, grocery stores, shopping, medical services, and the Mississippi River. The area also offers a variety of recreational destinations, including hiking, biking, fishing, and boating opportunities. Having these amenities nearby adds convenience without giving up the rural setting.
For buyers exploring investment possibilities, the combination of a three-bedroom home, wooded acreage, and proximity to Red Wing may warrant consideration as a rental property.
