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.
