Rare mid-century homestead in a small town rural setting. This one-of-a-kind property combines a spacious home, remarkable shop space, a classic barn and direct access to miles of water. Set on 6 private, creek-front acres within Randolph city limits, the property is conveniently located between the Twin Cities and Rochester, and is a quick drive to both Cannon Falls and Northfield. This location offers a peaceful small town vibe with the best that nature has to offer. It's walking distance to County Parks and is near proposed state bike trails. Launch kayaks from your backyard to explore Chub Creek, the Cannon River, and Lake Byllesby. The lush grounds feature mature trees, perennial landscaping, an outdoor pizza oven, large fenced-in gardens, and apple trees that make this a gardener's paradise. For business, hobbies, or storage, the infrastructure is unmatched: a 2,560 sq. ft. heated cement block shop with 3-phase power, commercial overhead doors, and a bathroom complete with shower, plus a 3,360 sq. ft. clear-span pole building and a 1900s heritage barn.
The residence offers 2,660 sq. ft. of living space defined by original hardwood floors and trim, arched openings, and coved ceilings. From the inside, windows frame the surrounding trees and grounds, filling the home with natural light and making nature part of the view from nearly every direction. The layout invites you to enjoy a spacious kitchen with an abundance of cabinetry, new stainless steel appliances, and a center island with breakfast bar. Highlights include an inviting sunroom with a wood stove and creek views, and a remodeled main-floor bath featuring heated tile floors and custom cabinetry. Downstairs you'll find a spacious 4th bedroom, cozy family room with wood stove, plus a large, separate rec room. Up to 148 additional acres are available to expand your vision. From peaceful strolls along the creek to endless possibilities of the shop and outbuildings, this is a place designed to be enjoyed in more ways than one.
