This rare, one-of-a-kind property features two homes on nearly 5 acres, with approximately 480 feet of level, drive-up accessible lakeshore.
The main home, built in 2006, offers stunning west-facing views and generous living space, including 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Enjoy the lakeside setting from the expansive patio and deck overlooking the water.
A second guest home, originally built in 1975, adds additional flexibility and charm. It features an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, along with 1 bedroom and an additional ¾ bathroom. Combined, both homes offer approximately 4,500 finished square feet.
The tarred driveway extends all the way to the water’s edge for easy access. The main home was custom built with high-end materials and exceptional craftsmanship, and has been meticulously maintained by its second owner. The property is fully handicap accessible.
Located on Big Swan Lake, a pristine 900+ acre lake in beautiful central Minnesota, this property offers a truly exceptional lakeside lifestyle.
