Property Description

Discover a truly one-of-a-kind rural retreat at 14524 Ibson Avenue in Nerstrand — a private 4-bedroom, 4-bath home set on 19 acres of woods, pasture, and tillable ground just minutes from Nerstrand Big Woods State Park. This beautifully updated residence offers an exceptional blend of character, comfort, and functionality, featuring a large custom eat-in kitchen with quartz countertops, double oven, herringbone backsplash, abundant storage, and an attached sunroom overlooking the property. The spacious main level includes a versatile family room, cozy living room with a 2-sided wood-burning fireplace, which is also featured in the office, and a grand wooden staircase leading to the upper level. Upstairs you’ll find all four bedrooms, including an oversized 550-sq-ft bedroom, a primary suite with a custom tile shower, double vanity, and whirlpool tub, plus upper-level laundry and a cedar storage closet. Outside, the property shines with a historic 1890 barn, an oversized steel-sided chicken coop with pasture, an oversized 2-car garage, a 7-acre tillable field, acres of mature woods, and thoughtfully designed outdoor living spaces including custom paver walkways, a large paver patio, and two porches perfect for taking in the rural scenery. The home has been extensively remodeled over the past eight years with oak hardwood floors, custom tile work, new lighting, spray-foam insulation, ABC Steel siding, updated mechanicals, fresh Benjamin Moore Modern Gray paint, and clean white trim throughout. Additional highlights include an indoor pool with vaulted ceilings and a window wall, a large unfinished basement for storage, and the option to add an additional shower. This acreage has supported a rich lifestyle — from raising rabbits, chickens, goats, hogs, and turkeys, to maple syrup harvesting, mushroom foraging, and tending an expansive garden with rhubarb, strawberries, and room for more. It’s a rare property that offers not just a home, but a place to grow, explore, and create lasting memories.
