About This Home

183 feet of sandy shoreline, nearly 2 acres, a 108-foot dock, a grandfathered boathouse, and a 32x60 pole building. Opportunities like this on Mille Lacs are few and far between. The gradual, shallow shoreline makes lake days easy for everyone, while the rooftop deck atop the boathouse delivers sweeping sunrise and sunset views across the "ocean-like" horizon of Mille Lacs. Mornings begin slow with breakfast on the deck; by afternoon, you're a short boat ride from the legendary northern flats and world-class fishing. Inside, the cabin is everything you want in a classic Northwoods retreat. Warm wood finishes, expansive lake-facing windows, and a wood-burning fireplace anchoring the hearth room, where panoramic lake views unfold year-round. In the winter, cozy up by the fireplace after a day on the ice. In the summer, open the windows and let the cool lake breeze drift through the cabin. The fully furnished 2-bedroom, 1-bath layout is move-in ready and built for making memories from day one. Wet snow gear? Sandy towels? Handled. A spacious foyer offers serious storage and space to unload after a busy day on the water, while the unfinished lower level is a blank canvas for whatever you imagine: bunk room, game room, lounge, you name it. Outside is where this property truly separates itself. The rare grandfathered boathouse provides ideal storage for paddleboards, fishing rods, and lake toys just steps from the shoreline. The impressive 32x60 pole building, with concrete floor, electrical, and high-clearance doors, is built to hold the pontoon, fishing boat, snowmobiles, ATVs, and every other toy that makes Mille Lacs a year-round playground. A detached garage and new storage shed add even more functionality for everyday lake life. Major updates have already been taken care of, including a new septic system and deep well in 2017, updated windows, garage roof. Even the raspberry patch is ready for summer afternoons at the lake. Less than two hours from the Twin Cities. A true legacy property where new traditions begin.
