Want to have horses at home but live in the suburbs?
Then this property is for you!
I've had the privilege of visiting this lovely home and can't stop raving about its amenities! It is located in a Rosemount neighborhood minutes from Lebanon Hills Regional Park, the Minnesota Zoo, and Valleywood Golf Course. Take a 5-minute trip to the grocery store, go for a half-day hike in the wilderness, or enjoy a short commute to work from this horse property on this beautiful stretch of Shannon Parkway.
Here's the best part for those long cold Minnesota winters: the 3-stall barn is fully-insulated and heated and is attached to the garage! No more bundling up to check on the horses before heading to bed on a sub-zero night! Just don slippers and walk through the garage (with room for 3+ cars!) and out to the barn to check that the horses have hay and are enjoying their automatic waterers. The convenient tack room is even heated/air conditioned (it's the door on the left).
The stalls are fully-matted and this stall is double-sized for foaling or the comfort of an extra large horse. Additionally, these two have two-part doors so you can allow your horses access to the paddock if you prefer to, or open the tops of the doors for a nice summer breeze.
Still not enough room in the garage for your vehicles or farm equipment? Then you'll appreciate this tool shed across from the barn with room for two more cars or trucks or loads of other equipment.
This is the fenced backyard and the view of the house from one of the horse pastures. Yes, there are two separate pastures, both with lush grass and safe fencing. The fencing is Vinyl Centaur planking/rail with hot wire and treated wood posts to prevent rotting and shifting. There's also a 20 x 60 meter outdoor riding arena on level ground which is very well-designed to drain off excess water. It has a rubber/sand footing which offers springy comfort to your horses and is easy to care for.
Enjoy this view from the expansive screened porch! The pastures are out ahead and to the left, the barn is the wall on the right, with the paddock just beyond it and the outdoor riding arena past that.
Just imagine spending those warm summer evenings watching your horses graze contentedly from this comfortable porch...
or picture eating your breakfast from this table and seeing them frolicking around in the cool air with fall colors on the trees behind....
or in the wintertime, you can keep an eye on your horses while you're curled up by the fire in this cozy den.
It has an open floor plan with large widows and is high-quality construction throughout.
...with a huge kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.
There's so much to love about this horse property and home!
