Step into timeless charm with this rare historical cottage nestled on the shores of Lake George. Set on a serene two-acre parcel with an impressive 281 feet of private lake frontage, this property offers the perfect blend of nostalgia, natural beauty, and Northwoods tranquility. This property has not been offered for sale in the last 100 years! Lake George boasts 16.2 feet of clarity, a depth of 30', miles of shoreline to explore, and excellent fishing opportunities. Lake George sits between Walker, Park Rapids, and Itasca State Park, offering plenty of local experiences to check out!
From the moment you arrive, you’ll appreciate the peaceful setting—towering pines, gentle lake breezes, and sweeping water views create an inviting retreat that feels worlds away from the everyday. The cottage itself showcases its heritage with beautifully preserved original wood floors and rich tongue-and-groove paneling, and the 2 stone fireplaces lend warmth and character to the interior. 3 bedrooms offer space to host, the third bedroom is big enough to be a bunk room if you desire! (3rd bedroom non-conforming due to no closet) The separate 19x29' building is ready for your imagination-a great space for a workshop, or set it up as an extra recreation space!
Association fee for private road maintenance only - no shared amenities. The paved pathways through the property are original from the camp, are not shared, and are not any type of easement for neighboring properties.
Whether you’re enjoying a quiet morning coffee overlooking the water or gathering after a day on the lake, the home’s cozy, authentic feel makes every moment special.
The expansive lot provides ample room for outdoor activities or simply enjoying the space that two acres affords. With 281 feet of shoreline, you’ll have plenty of space for swimming, fishing, and boating right from your own property.
This is more than just a cabin—it’s a piece of history and a place to create lasting memories. Whether you’re seeking a seasonal getaway or a peaceful retreat, this Lake George cottage offers a unique opportunity to own a slice of classic Minnesota lake life. Fiber Net is in the area, but not hooked up to this house.
