Peaceful privacy meets year-round adventure at this picturesque estate nestled on the shores of Lake George. With 1350 feet of west-facing shoreline on 21 acres of unspoiled Northwoods beauty, this property offers panoramic lake views, excellent wildlife viewing, all-season recreation, and breathtaking sunsets.
Centrally located between Walker, Park Rapids, and Bemidji, Lake George is clean and quiet, with 16 feet of clarity and excellent fishing! Its proximity to the Paul Bunyan State Forest offers convenient access to one of Minnesota’s premier networks of off-highway vehicle and snowmobile trails.
This warm, welcoming log home showcases timeless craftsmanship and rustic elegance throughout. Reclaimed chestnut flooring brings character and history to the living spaces. Comfort abounds with in-floor heat beneath all the tile floors. The gourmet kitchen features top-tier appliances, knotty alder cabinetry, granite countertops, and a spacious pantry complete with a wine refrigerator.
Two stunning fireplaces, one in the great room and one in the sunroom, create inviting gathering places. Expansive windows capture picturesque lake views and fill the home with natural light, seamlessly connecting the indoors with the surrounding landscape.
The desirable main-level owner's suite offers lake views, a walk-in closet, and a walk-in tiled shower in the private bathroom. A second bedroom and guest bathroom finish off the main level. Step outside to a large lakeside deck with desirable elevation to the shoreline, perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying spectacular sunsets. A private sauna is an ideal retreat after a day out experiencing year-round fun!
Upstairs, you will find more spectacular lake views, a spacious loft area for lounging, workspace, or extra sleeping space, and another bedroom and full bathroom.
The home is equipped with a Generac full-house generator, a 2-year-old furnace, two 80-gallon water heaters, a Kinetico water filter system, and Leaf Guard gutters installed in 2026.
The insulated 2-car garage connects to the home via a lighted covered walkway that features barn doors to open in summer and close in winter. The garage has a spacious unfinished attic space ready for storage, or it could be finished to provide extra living quarters or a bunk room. The 40x60 pole building was designed for drive-through access, with excellent lighting, floor drains, and a front porch for gathering and relaxing.
The wooded acreage is rich with natural treasures. Hunt deer, grouse, and wild turkeys, and forage for wild mushrooms, berries, hazelnuts, fiddlehead ferns, and chaga.
Whether you're seeking a year-round residence, luxury retreat, or legacy property, this exceptional Lake George estate offers a rare opportunity to own one of the area's most distinctive waterfront properties.
