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. With two living areas and a walkout lower level offering its own entrance, the layout is as flexible as your plans for it. 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, and 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. With Soo Pass Ranch less then 15 minutes away, every lake activity, restaurant, festival, and attraction is a short drive from home, yet you can escape to your own quiet acreage in minutes. For the buyer thinking beyond a primary residence, the possibilities open up. The space, privacy, and location make this a natural fit for a lake country retreat, a family gathering place, or an income-producing short-term rental in one of Minnesota's strongest vacation markets. Use it yourself, share it with family, or let it work for you when you're away. This is a one of a kind property for the buyer who wants lake country on their own terms. Space to breathe, room to roam, income potential to explore, and the best lakes in the region right down the road. Properties like this don't come along often. Schedule your showing today!
