About this property
Just minutes from Big Portage Lake and the town of Backus, this well-cared-for country home offers room to breathe, space to garden, and a setting that invites you outdoors. Recent improvements include fresh interior and exterior paint, new carpeting, and extensive landscaping featuring impressive boulder retaining walls and stone steps that add both beauty and character to the property. The main level includes two bedrooms, a full bath, and a kitchen with generous cupboard space. A large window in the dining area overlooks the backyard, where changing seasons, visiting wildlife, and colorful gardens provide a view worth lingering over. Step outside to the deck and enjoy a quiet evening, a summer meal, or simply a chance to slow down and enjoy the surroundings. The yard offers a wonderful mix of open space and mature trees, with plenty of room for flower gardens, vegetables, yard games, or gathering with family and friends. Thoughtful landscaping has created an outdoor space that feels welcoming from the moment you arrive. Downstairs, the lower level is already equipped with a washer and dryer, along with existing plumbing, a shower, and commode, providing an excellent starting point for additional living space, a hobby area, workshop, or guest accommodations. Whether you're looking for a year-round home or a place to escape the pace of everyday life, this property offers a comfortable setting, attractive updates, and a location that keeps lakes, trails, and town conveniences close at hand.
