Rare estate-related real estate auction opportunity in a prime Main St. location between Willmar and Hutchinson. The location benefits from Kandiyohi County’s Willmar Lakes Area appeal, with hundreds of nearby recreational lakes, lake resorts, seasonal visitors, and regional outdoor-recreation draw. This former schoolhouse is not bank-owned or a foreclosure — it is a carefully maintained property with clear pride of ownership, flexible space, and a distinctive history.
Currently zoned residential, the property offers potential commercial-use opportunities, subject to city approval. A city letter indicates openness to considering a rezoning request; buyer to verify all zoning, permitted uses, approvals, and future-use plans directly with the City. Its unique character, flexible layout, Main St. visibility, and multiple-use potential make it an excellent fit for homeowners, investors, business owners, owner-users, live/work users, developers, or those seeking a distinctive special-use property with room for a creative vision.
A standout feature is the property’s exceptional garage/shop space: two insulated, finished, heated, and air-conditioned garage/flex areas, including one on the main level and a second tuck-under garage/flex on the lower level, totaling approximately 5,236 sq. ft. This climate-controlled space creates outstanding flexibility for vehicles, storage, hobbies, equipment, workshop use, business needs, or future creative use.
Additional highlights include a new roof in 2024, working mechanicals, and an outdoor patio fireplace that adds charm and function to the exterior entertaining area.
