About this property

WHERE FIVE GENERATIONS BUILT A LEGACY - NOW IT'S YOUR TURN! Offered for the first time in over a century, this remarkable Ottertail farmhouse presents a truly rare opportunity to own a piece of Minnesota history. Held by the same family for five generations since its construction in 1896, this legacy property blends timeless craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates. Set on 7.8 scenic acres overlooking Lake Portage, the home offers just under 5,000 finished square feet with 6 bedrooms and 3 baths—providing exceptional space for gathering, hosting, or multi-generational living. Original character shines throughout, featuring beautiful hardwood floors, 9” oak base trim, crown molding, solid oak four-panel doors, and classic pocket doors. The main level is both inviting and functional, highlighted by a spacious 23x16 living room with fireplace, formal dining room, den, bedroom, full bath, and kitchen. Enjoy peaceful mornings and evenings from the enclosed three-season porches on the front and side of the home. Upstairs, you’ll find four additional bedrooms, a cozy sitting room, den, and full bath. The expansive 40x15 walk-up attic offers endless potential—ideal for additional bedrooms, a studio, or recreation space. The lower level adds even more character and entertainment value with a 28x19 family/game room featuring a 100-year-old pool table, sauna, ¾ bath, and large laundry room. Extensive mechanical updates provide comfort and efficiency, including steel siding, 220-amp electrical service, a 40-year architectural roof, replacement windows, updated insulation, geothermal heating and cooling, backup generator, and an electric vehicle charging station. Additional amenities include a newer concrete driveway, two-car insulated attached garage with pull-down storage, detached one-car garage, storage shed, and a charming smokehouse. Located just three hours from the Twin Cities, this one-of-a-kind property offers endless possibilities—whether as a private retreat, year-round residence, or a future bed and breakfast. Rich in history and ready for its next chapter, this is a home where legacy and lifestyle meet.
