What's special

Fenced yardClean modern interiorNew central air system

Watch the Pine River in perfect harmony with Lind Lake as the sun rises over Backus every morning. This is the spot. Explore the lake and river from a home that's free of heavy shoreline pressure and activity like many other lakes. The home has been extensively updated to reflect a clean, modern interior while preserving the character expected in a true lake retreat. New flooring runs through the main living areas, complemented by updated windows that draw in natural light and frame the surrounding woods and water. The kitchen features new cabinetry, granite countertops, new appliances, while fresh paint and updated lighting carry throughout the home. New central air system installed and new washer/dryer Aug 2026. A walkout lower level adds flexible living space, and the primary suite connects directly to the deck, creating a seamless transition to the outdoors and elevated lake views. The exterior continues to perform with a fenced yard, separate 3-stall and single-stall garages, and a series of recent improvements across all structures. A wooded roadway extends from the home down to the shoreline, where a new dock and boardwalk provide easy access to Lind Lake, which is well known for its fishing and fed directly by the Pine River. With a balance of privacy, usability, and updated features, this property presents a compelling opportunity for lakefront ownership in the Backus area. This home is offered fully furnished and is a successful VRBO. Future Equity: The lot comes with a separate tar driveway that goes down to Lindsey lake. The Elevation at the bottom of the driveway is a perfect gentle slope to the lake with an incredible view of Lindsey Lake. Excellent building site their provides potential to subdivide in the future. Administrative subdivision with approved plan would be available in 2030 or after.
