Welcome to one of Sauk Lake's premier waterfront properties, where exceptional craftsmanship and breathtaking views come together to create an extraordinary lakeside retreat.
Perfectly positioned on 126 feet of shoreline, this custom-built walkout rambler was designed to maximize the beauty of the lake from nearly every room. Expansive windows frame panoramic water views while filling the home with natural light.
The open-concept main level features soaring 9-foot ceilings, a gas fireplace with tile surround and wood mantel, and spacious gathering areas perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings at home. The beautifully designed kitchen is both functional and elegant, featuring stainless steel appliances, double oven, center island, walk-in pantry, and abundant custom cabinetry.
Wake up each morning to beautiful water views from the private primary suite, complete with a spa-inspired bath featuring a whirlpool tub, walk-in shower, and generous walk-in closet. The walkout lower level continues to impress with four oversized bedrooms, a second gas fireplace, expansive family room with wet bar, in-floor heat, and lots of storage - providing comfortable accommodations for family and guests.
Outside, relax on the maintenance-free deck and take in unforgettable sunsets over the water. The heated three-stall garage with in-floor heat and additional attic storage provides ample space for vehicles, lake toys, and more.
Follow the gentle slope to your own sandy beach, perfect for swimming, launching paddleboards, or heading out for a day on the lake. Just steps from the water, the lakeside storage shed offers convenient space for beach and boating gear, along with a built-in fish-cleaning station that can easily double as a lakeside bar or refreshment station.
Sauk Lake is one of Central Minnesota's most sought-after recreational lakes, offering outstanding fishing, boating, watersports, and year-round recreation - all just minutes from Sauk Centre's shopping, restaurants, golf courses, and everyday conveniences.
