Property Description

A rare opportunity to own a piece of Pine County history! Originally built as the Pine County Poor Farm, the historic Grindstone Lodge offers over 12,000 square feet on 8.19 acres in Hinckley, just a minute from Grand Casino. Featuring 20+ bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a large kitchen with commercial-grade venting, four three-season porches, and an expansive front deck, this unique property offers incredible space and flexibility. Recent improvements include fresh paint, partially renovated bathrooms, new pressure tank, and LED lighting. The property will need new windows, updated heating system, and some TLC, but offers an opportunity for the next owner to make improvements and bring their vision to life. Additional features include a full walkout basement with flexible-use space, detached garage, circular driveway, private well, and inspected, compliant septic system. The 8.19 acre setting features mature pines and maples, a spacious yard, and privacy, while the high-traffic location adds to its potential. Potential uses include a retreat or conference center, bed and breakfast, event or wedding venue, group living facility, transitional housing, multigenerational living, or another creative business venture. The property's size, layout, and historic character make it an intriguing opportunity for investors, entrepreneurs, or buyers seeking a distinctive property with room to grow. All future uses are subject to applicable zoning, licensing, permitting, and building requirements. Historical tax credit eligibility and potential uses should be independently verified by the buyer. POF or pre-approval required for showings. Bring your vision and explore the possibilities of restoring and reimagining this remarkable piece of Pine County history!
