81 Summer Trees Lane

Nearly everything in this three-bedroom, three-bath home is new. New roof, new heating and air-conditioning systems, new gutters, oversized new windows and doors, new flooring, fresh paint, stylish new lighting, beautifully tiled bathrooms and premium appliances.

With annual county property taxes of $2,204.72 there is no city tax, no water bill and no sewer bill.

What isn't new is the setting. 3.43 private wooded acres in West Burnsville, with established gardens, natural stonework and a tranquil fishpond that took years to mature. The feel of a new home, inside a landscape you couldn't build in a decade.

Getting here is part of it. Pass picturesque barns and grazing cattle, follow the gentle streams, and arrive at a peaceful property surrounded by mountain views and abundant wildlife.
