Opportunities like this are rarely available within the City of Baxter! Situated on 5.88 acres, this 5-bedroom log home offers a combination of privacy, space, and location that is difficult to replicate. The property borders tax-forfeited land, providing additional seclusion, and is located within the City of Baxter’s designated archery zone. Despite the private setting, the home is just minutes from schools, shopping, and Whipple Beach. The residence features classic log construction, a welcoming covered front porch, and a functional layout suited for both everyday living or weekend retreats. A spacious mudroom supports an active lifestyle, while the level area off the back of the home presents an ideal opportunity for future expansion with a patio, porch, or three-season room. The surrounding acreage includes established walking trails and frequent wildlife activity, offering a true Northwoods feel without leaving town. Major mechanical updates include a new septic system in 2018, furnace and central air conditioning in 2020, and updated appliances in 2022. The log exterior was professionally treated approximately three years ago and is in excellent condition. Additional improvements include a deep two-stall garage, a lean-to with kennel space, and a pole barn offering space for anything you may need. Properties of this size, setting, and proximity to city amenities are increasingly scarce in Baxter. This is a property that must be experienced in person to fully appreciate!
