About This Home
Welcome to your own slice of Minnesota lake country, where 8 private acres, a tranquil pond, and a backyard par-3 golf hole create the kind of setting most people only dream about. This 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom bi-level home sits at the end of a tree-covered driveway that feels like a quiet welcome home every time you pull in. Originally an old farmhouse, the home has been thoughtfully updated for modern comfort while preserving the warmth and character that first made it special. Step inside and you'll find living spaces designed around the land itself. A spacious sunroom invites you to slow down with coffee and a good book, while large windows frame peaceful views of the pond. The wraparound deck is made for morning bird watching, evening sunsets, and everything in between. You get all the perks of lake country living with none of the headaches. Lower taxes. Total privacy. Your own water feature right in the backyard. And three of Minnesota's most sought-after lakes just minutes away: Lake Lida, Pelican Lake, Cormorant Lake. Head one direction and you're at Zorbaz for lakeside food and drinks. Head the other direction and you're teeing off at Wildflower Golf Course. Every favorite lake activity, restaurant, and attraction is a short drive away, but you can escape to the quiet of your own home in minutes. This is a one of a kind property for the buyer who wants the lake country lifestyle on their own terms. Space to breathe, room to roam, and the best lakes in the region right down the road.
