(SF) Single Family - Ortonville, MN

Located at the headwaters of the Minnesota River, the Old American Bike Barn is one of the area’s most unique and versatile properties, offering exceptional potential as a “shouse”—a combination shop and residence. Built in 2017, the interior features reclaimed timber and authentic post-1800s barn framing, creating a warm, rustic atmosphere that is both striking and timeless. The expansive showroom provides an ideal foundation for a custom living space while still accommodating workshop, storage, or business use. An upper-level walkway overlooks the main floor and includes four offices that could easily be reimagined as bedrooms, studios, or private living areas, along with a bathroom, two utility rooms, and a kitchenette. An attached warehouse adds even more flexibility for hobbies, vehicles, equipment, or additional workspace. The building is constructed on a 9-inch concrete slab with three-zone in-floor heating, a maintenance-free exterior, and a paved parking lot—perfect for year-round comfort and low upkeep. Whether envisioned as a one-of-a-kind shouse, live/work residence, or a combination of home and business, this captivating property offers endless possibilities. With its unmatched character, thoughtful construction, and prime location near Big Stone Lake, this property has the charm and versatility to remain a premier destination—and a truly exceptional place to live, work, and create.
