If your dream lake weekend involves high-fiving your neighbor through your open kitchen window, 21504 Pike Ave is probably not the place for you. Some lake lots give you water. This one gives you room to actually enjoy it. 183 feet of private, gradual, sandy shoreline on nearly 2 acres, almost double the frontage of a typical lot on this lake. Then there's the pole building. 32x60. This beast features concrete floors, electricity, and high-clearance doors. Good luck trying to squeeze a shop this size onto a standard, cramped lake lot. This one's already standing- built for the boat, the wheelhouse, the sleds, and whatever you pick up next. Down the walkway is a boathouse with a rooftop deck, grandfathered, which is a polite way of saying nobody gets to build another one. The cabin sits perched right at the water's edge, not tucked behind it, so the view from the kitchen is of the lake, full stop. The southern sun glittering off the water's edge through the large updated windows is the view you'll be describing to people all winter. It's charming, fully furnished, and ready the day you close. Two bedrooms, one bath, and an unfinished lower level that's either your future bunk room for the young-hearted or just extra space you haven't needed yet. Sitting just off the Lake Mille Lacs Scenic Byway on a road plowed by Hazelton Township. That means it works just as perfectly for February ice fishing as it does for July evening sunset cruises. Have yourself a premier Mille Lacs footprint where the land is exceptional, the storage is unmatched, and the privacy is fully guaranteed.
