A rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully restored piece of Northern Minnesota history.
Originally the community general store of Mizpah, this remarkable property has been transformed into a beautifully updated residence that blends historic character with modern design. The result is a one-of-a-kind home offering expansive living spaces, original architectural details, and exceptional flexibility for a variety of lifestyles.
The main level showcases the former storefront, now serving as a stunning open-concept great room featuring restored original hardwood floors, woodwork, shelving, doors, hardware, and storefront glass. The open kitchen and dining area create an inviting space for gathering, entertaining, and everyday living. Additional main-level features include a fully updated 3/4 bath with glass shower enclosure, laundry area, spacious mudroom, storage rooms, and flexible guest accommodations.
Upstairs, a beautifully renovated four-bedroom living space offers soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and peaceful views into the surrounding treetops. The thoughtful renovation balances modern design with timeless appeal while preserving the unique character of the building.
Outside, nearly one acre of landscaped grounds provides room to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. A creek meanders behind the property, adjoining county land offers additional privacy, and multiple outdoor spaces--including an enclosed porch, covered patio, open-air porch, and firepit area--invite you to enjoy all four seasons. An oversized steel-sided two-car garage offers ample storage for recreational equipment and vehicles.
Located in the heart of Mizpah, a small Northwoods community surrounded by lakes, trails, public land, and year-round recreation, this property offers a unique opportunity to enjoy a lifestyle rooted in nature, history, and connection.
Whether envisioned as a private residence, multi-generational retreat, gathering place, creative escape, or recreational basecamp, this exceptional property offers endless possibilities in one unforgettable setting.
