About this home
Rare Waterfront Opportunity on Tranquil Muskrat Lake. Discover your own private lakeside retreat on beautiful Muskrat Lake! This spacious 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home sits on an impressive 2.55 acres across two parcels (including one vacant lot for another build), offering exceptional privacy in a quiet, established development. Enjoy 699 feet of frontage along the shoreline, with stunning 135+ degree panoramic views stretching west and north across the water. The walkout basement opens directly to the lake, making it easy to step outside and enjoy the scenery or head down to the water. Muskrat Lake is truly special—it connects to Lake Sallie and the broader Detroit Lake chain via the unique mechanical boat tram at nearby Dunton Locks County Park. Boat, pontoon, or PWC owners can easily access miles of additional water without trailering—perfect for weekend explorations, fishing, or simply cruising the lakes. Less than 1 mile North of the Soo Pass Ranch (Home of the annual WE Fest Country Music Festival). Inside, the home offers 2,865 square feet of finished living space, thoughtfully laid out for comfortable lake living and entertaining. The main level and walkout lower level provide flexible spaces, while the elevated setting maximizes those breathtaking views from multiple rooms. Just a short distance away, Dunton Locks County Park (a 53-acre gem right on Muskrat Lake) adds even more value with its shoreline access, picnic sites, pavilion, paved bike trail, hiking/mountain biking/cross-country ski trails, fishing piers, and the DNR fish hatchery nearby. It’s a year-round playground for the whole family. This is a rare opportunity to own substantial acreage and frontage on a peaceful lake in the heart of the Detroit Lakes area—without the crowds or high-traffic feel of bigger lakes. Whether you’re looking for a full-time home, weekend getaway, or family compound, this property checks every box. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of Minnesota lake country paradise.

How SODL buyer credits work
When you buy with SODL, the brokerage charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. The remaining buyer-side commission (typically 3% of the purchase price) is credited directly back to you at closing, reducing the cash you bring to the table.

- Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
- Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing
A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
