About this home
Rare opportunity to own a beautifully improved lake lot with stunning northwest-facing views and unforgettable sunsets over the water. Located on a scenic 236-acre recreational lake with over 5 miles of shoreline and a maximum depth of approximately 37 feet, this property offers excellent fishing, boating, swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding in a peaceful Up North setting. The hard work has already been done! A private 4" drilled well, building pad, 2 bedroom compliant mound septic system, and electrical service are already installed, making this property ready for immediate recreational use or your future building plans. A dock and steps provide convenient access to the shoreline, while a professionally built-up building pad is ready for your future lake home and garage. A spacious deck overlooking the water creates an inviting outdoor living area and the perfect place to relax, entertain, and take in the panoramic lake views and spectacular sunsets. For buyers looking for a turnkey recreational setup, the existing 2019 Keystone Springdale 40' destination camper is available for purchase separately. The camper features a private bedroom, sleeping accommodations for up to eight, and a large awning that complements the outdoor living space. Camper is not included in the real estate sale and may be purchased separately by mutual agreement. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape, a seasonal retreat, or the ideal setting to build your forever lake home, this property offers an exceptional combination of existing infrastructure, beautiful lake frontage, and future potential. Improved lake lots with this level of infrastructure, exceptional views, and build-ready features are increasingly difficult to find. Start enjoying lake life from day one while planning for everything tomorrow has to offer.
