Mike Joas Beach

For buyers chasing a true turnkey lake retreat, this +/- 0.81 acre parcel on the south shore of Upper Red Lake delivers 100 feet of sand beach frontage in a setting that is genuinely hard to duplicate at this price point. Upper Red Lake has built a national reputation for its walleye fishery, and the lake also holds strong numbers of crappie and perch, making this a year-round destination for anglers who fish open water in summer and pull fish houses onto the ice in winter. The shoreline itself is a standout feature. A professionally installed rip rap wall protects the bank, while a sugar sand beach and a hard sand lake bottom that gradually deepens create an easy, natural transition into the water, well suited to swimming as much as fishing. A private poured concrete boat ramp gives direct access for launching a boat in open water season or pulling a skid house, snowmobile, or vehicle out onto the ice in winter, a convenience that few comparable lake lots in the area offer. The property is improved with a 2005 Breckenridge park model cabin measuring 12x38 feet, with one bedroom, one bathroom, and lofted sleeping quarters supplemented by two hideabed couches in the living room, giving the cabin real sleeping capacity beyond its footprint. Laminate flooring was recently updated throughout, and the cabin is in well-maintained, move-in-ready condition. A 12x38 green treated front deck runs along the lake side of the cabin, shaded by a Sunsetter awning and equipped with a gas and charcoal grill an outdoor living and cooking space built for lake days. The cabin is heated and cooled with forced air and central air conditioning, with a backup window unit for added redundancy, and is served by a drilled well and holding tanks already in place. Sleeping capacity extends beyond the main cabin with a converted skid house that now serves as a bunkhouse, offering two full beds along with its own air conditioning, heat, and stove, useful for overflow guests, hunting parties, or extended family groups. An RV hookup with electric and water service adds further flexibility to host an additional camper or fish house on the property. Outbuildings include a clean, electrified outhouse and a storage shed with electric service and additional refrigerator space, both practical additions for a seasonal or year-round lake property. The lot itself is flat and level, with substantial green space that leaves room for parking additional campers or fish houses, or for setting up yard games, all framed by mature, perennial landscaping around the buildings and yard. The property sits on a dead-end road, giving it a genuinely private feel while still being part of an established neighborhood of lake properties. Access is easy, off a well-maintained road with convenient connections to Highway 72, the town of Kelliher, and everyday amenities, while still delivering the seclusion buyers look for in a lake getaway. The location places owners in the heart of one of northern Minnesota's premier outdoor recreation corridors. Thousands of acres of public hunting land sit within close proximity, alongside area restaurants and resorts that serve the Upper Red Lake community. UPR sits roughly halfway between Bemidji and Baudette along Highway 72, putting this property within reach of Lake of the Woods to the north and the services of Bemidji to the south, all while remaining tucked into a quiet stretch of shoreline. The property is being sold mainly furnished, including outdoor furniture, Adirondack chairs, a firepit, and the furniture inside the cabin, an offering that lets a buyer close and start using the property with minimal additional investment. Between the private boat ramp, sand beach, dual sleeping structures, and a location in the middle of some of the best walleye water in northern Minnesota, this is an exceptional, amenity-rich lake lot at a price point that is difficult to find elsewhere on Upper Red Lake
