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.
Enjoy the property immediately with the included 2019 Keystone Springdale 40' destination camper, featuring one private bedroom and sleeping accommodations for up to eight. The large awning and spacious deck create an inviting outdoor living area, perfect for entertaining or simply relaxing while taking in the panoramic lake views.
The hard work has already been done with a private well, septic system, and electrical service already installed. A dock and steps to the shoreline provide easy access to the lake, while a professionally built-up building pad is ready for your future lake home and garage.
Whether you're looking for a weekend escape, a seasonal retreat, or the ideal location to build your forever lake home, this property offers the perfect combination of immediate enjoyment and future potential. Properties with this level of infrastructure, exceptional lake views, and build-ready improvements are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Start making memories from day one while planning for everything tomorrow has to offer.
