What You Get: The Property at a Glance
This is a 1.5-story farmhouse built in 1925 with 1,650 square feet of living space across two levels, sitting on a full basement with a poured concrete and concrete block foundation. The main level alone delivers 1,013 square feet.
Here's what's included:
- 4 bedrooms, 1 full bath
- Formal dining room (separate from the kitchen)
- Main-floor laundry with electric dryer hookup and washer connections
- Central air conditioning
- Forced air propane heat
- Circuit breaker electrical panel
- Metal roof
- 2-stall attached garage (12' x 20')
- Deck overlooking the tree-lined acreage
The lot runs approximately 66 feet wide along the east boundary by 2,048 feet deep, creating a long, private parcel with genuine room to use it. The shape is irregular across the full 11-plus-acre footprint, which means you get space for multiple uses without sacrificing the feel of a cohesive property.
The Outbuildings Make This Property
For a lot of buyers, the house is just the starting point. What makes rural acreage worth owning is the supporting infrastructure, and 2447 201st St delivers on that front.
The property includes a barn, a machine shed, and additional outbuildings. Whether you're thinking about livestock, horses, hay storage, hobby farming equipment, or simply a place to work on projects away from the house, the bones are here. You're not starting from scratch.
The septic system has been recently updated, inspected, and confirmed compliant. The property is served by rural water. County road frontage on a publicly maintained paved road means you're not trading convenience for acreage.
Location: Minutes from Lake Shetek State Park
Currie, Minnesota sits at the edge of Murray County in southwest Minnesota, and it has a geographic draw that most rural acreage listings can't claim: proximity to Lake Shetek State Park, one of the most-visited state parks in the region.
Lake Shetek is the largest natural lake in southwest Minnesota. The park offers camping, boating, fishing, hiking, and year-round outdoor access for hunters and nature enthusiasts alike. If you've looked at rural Minnesota property and wondered whether there's anything to do nearby, Lake Shetek is the answer.
The property is also close to Dovray and the city of Tracy, where you'll find everyday services, healthcare, and schools. This listing falls within the Tracy Area School District (ISD 2904), which serves students across Murray County.
For buyers relocating from the Sioux Falls metro or other metro areas to find more space, this corridor of southwest Minnesota offers a quality-of-life shift that's hard to find at this price point anywhere close to a recreational anchor like Lake Shetek.
Who Is This Property For?
Not every buyer is looking for the same thing in rural acreage, so let's be direct about who this property fits well.
Hobby farmers and small-scale operators: The barn, machine shed, and outbuildings give you real working infrastructure. The 11 acres offers enough room for a garden operation, a small livestock setup, or equipment storage without turning land management into a full-time job.
Outdoor lifestyle buyers: If your weekends revolve around fishing, hunting, boating, or camping, being minutes from Lake Shetek State Park isn't a minor perk. It's the whole point of moving out here.
Buyers seeking rural privacy at a manageable size: Eleven acres is enough to feel genuinely rural and secluded without the overhead of a large farm operation. The long, narrow lot creates natural privacy without requiring fencing every direction.
Buyers from Sioux Falls or surrounding metros: Craig Bertrand works with buyers across the Sioux Falls metro every week as Your Forever Agent®. He also holds a Minnesota real estate license, which means he can guide you through a Minnesota purchase from start to close without adding complexity to the transaction.
The Practical Checklist
If you're evaluating rural properties in southwest Minnesota, here are the boxes this one checks:
- Metal roof: lower long-term maintenance than asphalt shingles
- Updated, inspected septic: no surprise compliance issues post-closing
- Rural water: no well maintenance or water quality concerns
- Paved county road frontage: maintained year-round, no seasonal access issues
- Attached garage: connected directly to the house for Minnesota winters
- Full basement: extra storage and utility space
The National Association of REALTORS® consistently notes that rural acreage properties with existing outbuildings and updated infrastructure tend to appraise stronger and sell faster than bare land or properties needing septic work. The updates here matter.
