About 26050 Emery Avenue

Prairies and WindTwo, 10-acre restored prairies of native grasses and forbs (including Lupine!), part of a 51-acre parcel with about 43 acres protected by a Dakota County Conservation Easement, and a 5-acre home site with a 3-bedroom house, a detached 2-1/2 car garage with an office above it, a 36’ x 56’ pole shed, and a hoop-style 18’ x 36’ greenhouse with a concrete floor. The two-story house features high quality workmanship and materials throughout, has plenty of natural light, is well-insulated and can be heated with a wood stove or gas furnace. A grid-tied Bergey wind turbine on the hillside behind the house typically generates more electricity each year than used by the homeowners, resulting in an electric refund each year. The home site has room for large gardens, hobby farming or horses. The two 10-acre plots have been planted to native prairie, one in 2009 and the other in 2018 with a roughly 7 acre sloped portion between the two prairies in the process of being developed into another prairie or savanna. There is a wooded portion as well. The property features panoramic views and impressive bird and pollinator populations. In the house, the first floor has an open-air plan with a large functional kitchen with a walk-in pantry. The dining and living areas are open with exceptional natural light. There is also a first floor laundry, half bath, and a separate office space. Flooring is tongue and groove oak and quarry tile. The second story has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths including a spacious primary bedroom with en suite bath. The two bathrooms feature tiled walls and floors. The remainder is carpeted. The basement is completely unfinished and is functioned as a shop and workspace but could be easily finished into additional living space. There is a rough in for an additional bathroom and a south facing patio door for access.
