OK, to answer your first question, where is Askov Minnesota, Askov sits on scenic state highway 23 which makes a great alternative to I-35 on your way to Duluth or other spots on the North Shore of Lake Superior. Take the Banning Junction exit north of Hinckley and Askov is about 5 miles east. Askov has a Danish heritage seen in everything from the sign at the edge of town to the street names, which are in both Danish and English.

Now for your second question, what is a hand split stone home? This particular home was built on Ferndale St, aka Bregnedalgade, on a truck farm that sold ferns nationwide. The owner asked his truckers to grab cool looking boulders where ever they were and throw them on the truck. He then hand split each stone and built a home that even the big bad wolf couldn't blow down. Above the windows he used a mirroring technique with the stones. This technique allowed the stone halves to be placed opposite one another ( see picture below).

This home built in 1942, still has much of its original charm including hard wood floors, knotty pine woodwork, a stone fireplace (of course) and stone siding around the entire home. This home is featured on oldhouses.com, trulia, realtor.com and point2homes.com. What is truly amazing is you can own this unique piece of history for less than $130,000. Stop by our open house as the owner is baking her famous cookies on September 26th 12-3 pm.

Make sure your home is
