This "live/work/develop" setup minimizes disruption and maximizes early income.• Prime Location & Synergies: Directly abuts the Great Western Industrial Park (a growing rail-served hub with businesses like processing and trucking operations), offering seamless adjacency for industrial support activities. Excellent frontage/access on County Road 86; only 3 miles to Highway 52 for quick access to the Twin Cities (30 minutes) and Rochester (50 minutes).Key Property Highlights• Rail Service: Direct connectivity via Union Pacific (Class I) and short-line Progressive Rail—ideal for future bulk or industrial needs.• Utilities: Shared sand point well serves the house and garage; existing septic system.
