Escape to New Ulm and this more than 6 acre wooded retreat with nature galore and abundant wildlife like deer, turkeys, and birds who wander over from the state park and roam the property. It's a bow hunter's paradise with two tree stands included, and a great property to hunt mores down in the ravine come springtime. Bonus lookout is ideal for having a morning coffee or checking out wildlife in the ravine. Follow the long gravel driveway in past the iconic basswood tree and the pristine concrete pad, front paver patio, and composite front porch await. Once inside, the large foyer with vaulted ceilings, coat closet, and dual benches is welcoming. Gourmet peninsula kitchen with solid surface counters, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and loads of cabinets and counter space is flanked by an additional bar/built-in wall of cabinets. Separate, formal dining room is open to the kitchen, living room, and family room. Spacious dining and living area with cozy gas fireplace features vaulted ceilings, views to the second story hallway above, and large windows with great views. Dining area flows seamlessly to the amazing family room at the back, with vaulted ceilings, another gas fireplace, walls of windows, and sliding glass doors out to the expansive, two-level, composite deck with heavy-duty steel railings. Enjoy family gatherings, barbecue, relax in the hot tub, or just bask in the privacy surrounded by trees in this glorious backyard oasis. Down from the deck at the edge of the clearing is another opportunity to enjoy the outdoors on the spacious paver patio with built-in fire pit overlooking the woods. Rounding out the main level amenities are a main floor bedroom and bathroom and a laundry room/mudroom with sink, making this home perfect for those who seek one-level living. The upper level features a catwalk hallway overlooking the entire main level living and dining rooms, a primary bedroom/bathroom suite with an impressive walk-in closet, an additional bedroom, and an unfinished attic/loft that is currently used as a gym above the garage that can be accessed from the garage stairs or through the primary bedroom closet. The walkout lower level has a cozy family room and entertainment center wall with built-in cabinets and shelving and a gas fireplace. The basement also includes a tiled rec space, a built-in open concept office, and an additional guest bed and bath. Come enjoy nature as it was meant to be experienced. Two additional sheds allow you to store everything you'll need outside. Just right down the road from the Hermann the German, Flandrau State Park, and the Cottonwood River. Two minutes from the Cottonwood and Flandrau State Park trails (can put kayaks or paddleboards in there), four minutes to downtown New Ulm, and ten minutes from Schell's Brewing!
