*****NO RESERVE*****
We are offering for sale at NO RESERVE this older two floor home in Marietta, Minnesota. This house is located on the Main street of town in a very quiet residential area surrounded by some of the nicest homes in town. Marietta is one of those wonderful towns where everybody knows your name and stops to say hello - in the middle of the street. This is a town where people don't lock their doors at night, kids can ride their bikes anywhere and traffic actually stops for a lazy dog walking across the street. A small Midwest town with old world values.

Marietta, with a population of 170 is located in Western Minnesota in Lac Qui Parle County, one of the largest in Minnesota. This building is located one block from the Post Office and local Bank. There is a convenience store, a couple of gas stations and three churches in town. Closeby Madison (County Capital) offers a supermarket, butcher, restaurants, lumber yard, etc. There are Big Box stores like Walmart only 35 miles away.

The house is currently vacant and has not been occupied for a number of years. The rental potential of this home is enormous. There are currently no other rental properties available in Marietta or local area. With both new Power plants and Ethanol factories within 10 miles proposed to start up in the spring, property values are definitely going to go up.

The house is constructed of frame and wood siding. The exterior is in good condition with no visible structural flaws that we can see, only cosmetic. The really great thing about this house is the natural woodwork. It has been left without being mutilated by paint, etc. Restoration to its natural beauty would be not too difficult.

These are some of the things that we noticed need attention. There are a few pieces of siding missing and the doors and windows could use some paint and attention. The house has been empty for some years. The heating system and hot water heater were removed by the previous owner. The electricity is turned off and we do not know if anything works. The bathroom needs to be replaced, fixtures and all. There is a high basement with some new plumbing lines installed. This house is being sold at NO RESERVE and AS IS. There are no warranties or gaurantees of any kind. Please satisfy yourself as to what you are bidding on.

This house has a lot of potential as a fixer-upper on this gorgeous fully serviced lot. You may seriously want to restore this house as it has a lot of beautiful old woodwork including the hardwood floors. Please take a look at the pictures including the magnificent cabinets in the kitchen/pantry area and all the woodwork in the enclosed porch area.

HUNTERS - This house is in the middle of some of the best pheasant and deer country in the State!!!
