About this property
Seller financing through a Contract for Deed for a qualified buyer. If higher traditional mortgage rates or financing hurdles have been keeping you on the sidelines, this may be an opportunity worth exploring. Seller is willing to consider qualified buyers and alternative financing terms. What if home gave you more than just a place to live-it gave you room to do more of what you love? Set on approximately 5.81 acres just outside Brainerd, this five-bedroom, two-bath home offers the space and flexibility that can be difficult to find. With approximately 2,272 finished square feet, there is room for everyday living, overnight guests, a home office, hobbies, or simply having separate spaces when everyone wants a little room of their own. Outside is where the possibilities really begin. A detached garage, barn, partial fencing, and acreage previously used in part as pasture create an opportunity for buyers dreaming of a hobby farm, gardens, animals, additional outdoor projects, or simply more land and privacy than an in-town property can provide. The home features three bedrooms on one level, a finished lower level with egress windows, and a layout that provides useful living space on both levels. A deck and porch extend daily life outdoors, while the paved county road provides convenient year-round access. Here you can enjoy the breathing room of country living without giving up convenient access to Brainerd and the surrounding Lakes Area. Whether your vision includes animals, gardening, a workshop, space for the family to spread out, or simply a quieter lifestyle with acreage around you, 3134 County Road 23 offers something increasingly hard to find: room for what comes next.

Questions to ask before you buy
Good questions for any home near the slopes.
- How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
- Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
- Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
- Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
- What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
- For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
