25+ acre property with a 40x60 pole Building and old home. Home is very poor shape and is likely a tear down. Property does have a drilled well and electric in place. Pole building is in nice shape. A portion of the floor is cement and the rest is dirt/gravel. large access does make it great to store an RV of other large equipment. Recent tornado destroyed a few outbuildings, but solid foundations are still in place. This property has unlimited potential for someone looking to start a hobby farm or build a new home. Very close proximity to Lake Osakis and the amenities of Alexandria
